Many people now enjoy the benefits of working from home, but it can also blur the boundaries between our personal and professional lives. This can be especially true when we don’t have a well designed environment to work in, making us more prone to physical discomfort, distractions and disorganisation. 

When we work in an out-of-home office environment, most employers will realise the benefits of a well-designed office to promote good health and wellbeing among staff, helping them to work at their most creative and productive. 

Yet all too often, we neglect to extend this duty of care to ourselves. Here is a look at how a bespoke home office design can benefit you, and how you can create your ideal home work environment. 

How a bespoke office can enhance your life

Helping to stress and work-life boundaries

Most of us spend the majority of our day working, so the power of a thoughtfully designed home office should not be underestimated if you work from home some or all of the time. A pleasing layout will help you to stay organised and focused, so that getting through the day is less stressful and you will find it easier to close the door and switch off at the end of it.

Even if you do not have a whole separate room to dedicate to your office, it’s still possible to carve out a corner of the living room or dining room with room dividers, or just careful furniture placement, so that you can always have a clear boundary between your work and home life. 

This is essential to help maintain good mental health and also to ensure that the rest of the household is not overly disrupted by your work, potentially leading to more strained relationships. 

Greater productivity and creativity

A space that has been designed to meet your unique needs will enable you to work more efficiently. The designers will work with you to nail down every last detail, so that you will have the just right amount of shelving pull-outs, desks, electrical points, lighting, and other storage solutions that you need.

While the space needs to be 100 per cent functional, it can also be beautiful, with a range of colours and materials available to create a personal and stylish setup. A visually pleasing environment will help you enjoy your working life more, inspiring you to feel more relaxed and creative, and making a good impression on any clients or visitors you may have. 

Steps to creating your ideal home office

Designing the right home office starts with assessing your available space, whether that’s a spare bedroom or a corner of the living room. This will enable the designer to make use of every available inch to maximise your comfort and convenience. 

Consider the colours and materials that inspire you, and ask the designers to address any current pain points you have, such as lack of storage space or a too small desktop. 

Our team will work with you to bring your vision to life, and soon you will appreciate the benefits of a home office that works to support your mental and physical wellbeing.
