Simple Ways You Can Improve Your Home Office Decoration

One of the confusing things about a home office is deciding how to decorate it. It should be warm but strict, creative but focused, positive but neutral. In decoration, the combination of a ‘cozy feeling’ and ‘productive work environment’ requires time and hard work. Yet, with these five simple ways, you will immediately maximize your productivity and feel the comfort of being home in your home office.

1. Textured Neutrals

Black and white are not quite the ‘beige neutral’, but they are emotionally neutral colors if you use them together, in right amounts. Additionally, you can add uniqueness to your home office by opting out for different patterns of black and white that are creative and not distracting at the same time. The black and white accents will surely complement the contrast of a ‘home-office’. Who said that contrast does not look and feel good?

2. Books Under the Table

Books are not only for bookshelves on walls! There are many ways you can benefit from your books to decorate your home office. You can create a small space under your working table and place your books however you like. Actually, you don’t need a shelf to place your books. In your home office, there will always be natural corners, where you can use as a decorative way to place your books. From the corner of your desk to the side of the drawer, you can find your own way to create space. After creating the right environment, the rest is on you to be productive and efficient.

3. Lighting Will Create the Space

Lighting is not only to brighten your home office. The simplest way of lighting is using a pendant lighting. Yet, you should go beyond that! Look for designer lamps; floor and table lamps are essential to make your home office as decorative as possible. Depending on your home office furniture, go for a single type of material. It can be silver metal, glass, or fabric. For example, if you have wool carpeting, avoid lamps with fabric as you already have enough fabric in the room. Instead, go for a metallic tone that will complement your wool carpet. You don’t need excessive decoration to improve your home office’s look. All you need is to make use of what you already have to have in your home office.

4. Inspiration Boards

Or simply a to-do board. Whichever you prefer, you will thank for this simple but amazing way to decorate your home office. Yet, we are not talking about a simple cardboard: You can find boards in different shapes and colors to complement your wallpaper and furniture. Take risks with boards, so you will always remember to look at it to get work done. To make your board a bit cozy, you can attach photographs from great memories to inspire you.
