Aside from freelancers, it is much more likely to work from home occasionally. To help you work efficiently in the comfort of your home, here’s sharing 6 interesting tips to consider when you design your home office. Read on!
1. Balance & Form
Depending on the type of home office you are looking for, does it fit well with the rest of your rooms? Attempting to balance comfort and function can be a challenging when trying to achieve both practicality and aesthetics. Its important to identify what you value more of either, and additionally, to keep the work and living areas separate. Glass doors or walls are a great option to keep out sound and welcome natural light.
2. Lighting
For most office workers, lighting is important , especially when using the computer for prolonged hours of time. Study has shown that natural lighting helps people to be more productive, happier, healthier and calmer! Therefore, many workplaces have some form of glass window and a great view to reduce stress levels. Despite all your attempts for natural lighting, there may be a corner or two in your house that lacks lighting regardless. A solution would be daylight bulbs or supplemental desk lighting for these areas.
3. Hardware and equipment

Depending on your work, you may or may not need extra peripherals, such as a scanner or printer. Do take into these considerations when planning your home workspace.
