One of the most effective ways to attain deep focus when it comes to productivity is by creating a dedicated space solely for work, where is there little to no distractions from your surroundings. Depending on the layout of your room, this is definitely achievable with proper space planning especially if you are going to be sitting at your home office desk for much of the day. Although you may want your home office to be business-like, the space is still a part of your home. Go for office furniture with a warm wood finish that will be functional and not appear out of place in the house.

Whether you are a minimalist or modernist, having an organised system in place is essential in maintaining an efficient workflow. The built-in study nook are a great way to save space, as they are more open and in closer proximity to family areas, they are a great way to ensure that family members are maintaining interaction with each other. As shown in this Modern Classic home interior, incorporating open shelves alongside built-in cabinetry is a good way to liven up the space by displaying decorative pieces or memorabilia that speak of your personality.

Depending on how much time you work from home, you can choose a large or small room. We recommend a larger space if you are going to spend more time there, as having too small of a space may feel confining over longer periods of time. Look for a space with a ton of natural light to help you maintain your energy levels throughout the day. It has been proven that natural light in office spaces improves worker satisfaction and productivity. Venetian blinds are commonly used for its function and visual appeal that complements a variety of home interiors. With the use of light and neutral colours, it brightens and help light reflect throughout the room.
