Some of us are still working from home. And for some of us, it’s going to be the way forward. Although we’ve been doing this for a while, it still feels like we haven’t figured out how to do it properly, right? 

Worry not! Our work-from-home series focuses on making it easy and comfortable for you to stay home and be productive. 

So! Last week, we saw how to create a designated work-from-home space. This week, we’ll move a step ahead and explore how to make your space reflect your personality: 

Add Home Decor to spruce up your living spaces

Good furniture is half the story, it’s time to complete the look with some decor and soft furnishings. An amazing way to breathe life into your home is to add a touch of green with some plants. And if you are someone who can’t spare a lot of time and attention to maintain plants, we would recommend cacti and succulents. These don’t need a lot of care, look great in any space, and even purify the air in your living spaces.

Framed posters, art pieces, and wall-hangings like tapestries, are also great ways to add some zing to your walls and surround yourself with what interests or inspires you. Some tasteful movie posters if you’re a movie buff, quotes by people who you look up to, art that you may have picked up in your travels, or pictures of loved ones, are all great additions to your living spaces to truly make them yours.

Finally, pay attention to lighting, keeping it both ample and decorative. Bring home some lamps, a standing one next to your sofa or a hanging one in the centre of your living room. Add lights on your walls, or a lampshade on the display unit.

You guessed that right-  Make it look warm and pretty.

Create a space for yourself – Reading, Gaming, or Meditation

As you spend more time at home, you need your comfort spaces where you can do what you love and recharge yourself. While you work from home, it becomes important to designate this safe space where you can get away from work for a break. So choose your favourite place in your house, and think about what you want to do there to recharge yourself.

If you’re a movie buff, why not get yourself a comfy recliner and a good TV? And if you are a bookworm, a reading corner with a shelf of your best reads and a comfy accent chair with lots of cushions would make more sense. But what if you’re a musician? Then maybe a studio set up with all your equipment and a really comfy swivel chair is the way to go.

Give it some thought, about who you are and what makes you tick, and you will know what to do. 

At the end of the day, just remember to Make the best of the situation

WFH offers us a unique situation where we are forced to manoeuvre daily life in a familiar, yet challenging space. It’s an opportunity to change perspectives, and rediscover ourselves in whole new ways. Pick up a hobby maybe, which you have always wanted to do. Or give up a bad habit that you have been struggling with for a long time now. Or finish that chore, which you have been putting away for so long. The possibilities are endless. 

It’s good we are outside our comfort zones. Because that’s where the magic happens. So let’s make the most out of it.

While that’s said and done, it’s your turn to put these words to practice. So let’s work together to make working at home easy and comfortable. Share pictures with us on social media and tag us. We would love to see how you do up your WFH space. Stay tuned for more on how to make WFH easy with us!
