1/18/2016

Most people spend a third of their day at their place of work.. that's over 2,000 hours per year! Isn't it time you updated the one place you spend the most time at besides your home? Here's a few tips on how to revamp your office:

1. Pick an ergonomic-friendly design

Sitting behind a desk all day can not only become tiresome, but it can severely affect your body as well. When choosing your next desk or office chair, why not make your work-space as comfortable as possible? Pick a chair that encourages good posture, or a desk that enables you to work more efficiently with less strain on your body. Ergonomic office designs make you feel better, and when you feel better, you work better!

2. Vow to be Clutter-Free

There's nothing that decreases productivity more than a mess of papers on your desk. The right organization system will help any clutter-bug become neat and tidy. Not only will you be able to locate important items, but it's easier to remember tasks, while maintaining a professional appearance. There's many options for organization systems, including in-drawer dividers, custom cabinetry, or modern filing systems.

3. Know Your Boundaries

Sometimes the disorganization and clutter just isn't your fault! Often times our work spaces become the office landfill; whether you're hoarding reams of paper, former co-worker's "stuff" they left behind, or a pile of junk mail. If your desk area reminds you of a war zone, it might be time to invest on a custom rolling cart or filing system.

4. Add some color!

The best way to brighten up your work space is to add pops of color. Not only will it break up the neutral tones plastered throughout the office, but it's a great conversation starter. Diversified Fixture uses Wilsonart colors that can be customized to your own personality.

There are a few key things to look for when renovating or planning your home office. At the top of the list is storage. A good mix of shelves, drawers and cabinets will allow you to accommodate all the paper, books and supplies in style.

Next, it's important to have a desk that fits your needs. If your home office is your main office, an oversized desk is recommended. Delegate a separate desk for the rest of the family to use to pay bills or for the kids to do their homework so as to avoid a work/home mix-up.

Up the formality of your office with crown molding, pocket doors, special lighting to highlight some photographs or collectables, and attractive finishes. In doing so, you'll ensure your home office is a place you enjoy spending time, even if it is just to pay the bills.
