Design & Decoration of Specific Rooms (08)



Create a Home Office Design That Matches Your Lifestyle
The first thing to do when creating and decorating a home office is to decide what range of activities will take place within the home office space. Will the space simply be utilitarian, or will it double as a guest room or serve some other dual function? Make sure there are enough outlets and phone jacks for your office needs. When designing the look of your office begin with a focal point. A focal point gives the eye an initial point of interest so that it can begin to take in the interior landscape of a room with ease. Another design tip: arrange your room in an L- or a U-shape so that everything is within easy reach. Install the right lighting. Bad lighting not only diminishes the appearance of your office, it is also a strain on your eyes. Buy a comfortable chair. This cannot be stressed too much. Make sure you love your chair and that it is the right height and fits you comfortably. Next, make sure you have sufficient shelving.
