5: Plants
Add a plant or two to your home office to bring some of the outdoors indoors. Plants are natural air cleaners that will help to improve the quality of the air inside your home office. Bamboo is the best natural air cleaner and is easy to take care of. It needs little light and can live off of being watered about once a week. If you're low maintenance with your plants, Bamboo is the way to go.
4: Artwork
Adding some artwork to your home office can change the entire feel of the space. You could hang up a painting, an inspirational poster, a family portrait, cartoons, or maps. A poster of the periodic table of elements is interesting. If you love cats, get Kinko's to blow up a photo of your cat (or a friend's) and hang that up in your home office. Cover those blank walls with something interesting.
3: Ergonomics
Ergonomics is vital to your comfort and pain levels during work and after work. If your lower back, neck, shoulders, wrists, or upper back is always sore because of the work you do it could be something simple. This can be fixed with an ergonomics fix. Your eyes should be in line with your computer screen. Your knees and elbows should be comfortable bent at a 90 degree angle. If you are not sure, have an ergonomics expert visit your home office for a consultation. This can help you prevent long term injuries to yourself.
2: Boards
Artwork is nice, but boards and calendars are functional. Adding a white board, cork board and large desktop calendar to your walls can help you stay organized. They will also help you remember important things and not lose items as much.
1: Lights
Lighting is important for your home office. Sometimes you need more and sometimes less. If you use a lamp make sure the light bulb is a wattage you like. If it is too dim finda 40 watt light bulb. If it is too bright for you try a 25 watt light bulb. You may do better with another lamp in your home office, too. It all depends on what you are comfortable with.
These are some of the best ways to improve your home office with ease and affordability. Help feed your inspiration, amusement, organization, and productivity with these easy steps!
