Setting Up The Home Office

May 26, 2025

In recent years, the concept of a home office has become a necessity for many. Whether working from home or needing a quiet space to focus, how do you strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics? Let’s take a look …

Choose a dedicated space with natural light preferably if possible – even a small corner, to establish boundaries between work and home life. 


Colours can influence mood and energy so be sure to choose a colour palette that inspires you. Blue & green tones enhance focus while yellow is uplifting. If you want versatility in the space, choose a neutral palette.


Be sure to invest in a desk suited to your space and needs along with an ergonomic chair which is essential to support posture and comfort.

Look for stylish storage pieces like floating shelves, desk organizers and woven baskets. Adding an area rug will define the space, inspirational wall art or a corkboard for quick reminders, a plant and a few items to reflect your personality, will quickly bring the office vibe together.


Be sure to keep computer cables and electrical wires hidden to avoid clutter.



A thoughtful design can turn even the smallest area into a productive space. Be deliberate in your choices to create a space that motivates and inspires!
