People have differing opinions about it, but one thing is certain: remote work and study are here to stay. More and more people use their homes as office or classroom. 

To make this ambience more pleasing, we have gathered some organizational tips ranging from furniture to lighting, to make the most of your space, whether large, small or shared. 

1. Practicality

This is a watchword when it comes to home offices. When the time comes to set up your own, choose shelves that serve more than one purpose, help optimize the environment and don’t hinder your mobility. 

2. Go away distractions

Even with the benefits of remote work, such as eliminating commuting time, some situations can get in the way of working from home, especially if you share a house with other people. It is thus important to choose a place where you can concentrate without external noises and electronic devices, which are not part of the work routine.

3. Functional decoration

Just because it’s a workspace, it doesn’t have to be dull. In addition to making the space more beautiful, decoration can help make your work environment more functional. For this reason, opt for furniture that leaves calendars, agendas and other materials that you need to access easily in view. 

4. Organization

On the one hand, a home office does not have to be dull, but it cannot be messy. It makes no sense to leave utensils on your table that are not used often. Investing in organizers helps keep the environment cleaner and more harmonious. 

5. Lighting

Whenever possible, choose well-lit places, preferably with natural light, to work. This is because poorly lit or dark environments can decrease productivity and even cause a few extra yawns. 

6. Golden rule: take care of your health

We have already seen that investing in furniture, comfort and practicality is essential to have a productive and pleasant work environment anywhere. However, taking care of your physical and mental health should also be a priority. 

• Take periodic breaks to rest and stretch your body.

• Organize demands and establish check-in and check-out times to prevent excesses. 

• Keep the space clean to prevent a buildup of dust and dust mites that cause disease.
