Add Some Details
When it comes to decorating your home office, it is all about the details. In fact, it is all about motivating details. For example, you can put a few of your favorite and inspiring books on your desk. To make the decoration even more beautiful, you can top it with a paperweight or some other decorative piece like framed prints online. Similarly, there is no need for you to keep everything strictly business-like in your home office. You can use interesting things to store all your office supplies and stay organized at all times. For instance, you can keep your paperclips in a glass jar, pens and pencils in a bamboo cup, and your files on a fancy golden tray. Doesn’t it all look more stylish now?
Go Moroccan
Moroccan style has been trending for a while now. Black and shiny walls and floors with a white ceiling can give your home office an elegant look everyone loves. In combination with a zig-zag patterned rug and oriental light hanging from the ceiling, you can’t help but feel like you are in this distant country and culture. If your home office is full of natural light, contrary to dark-colored walls, it will look brighter. On the other hand, painting the walls in dark colors might not work out well for rooms without natural light. Additionally, when you have a black and white combination, you should add a splash of the third color by adding a colorful vase, picture frame, or pillowcase.
Invest in Sliding Doors
Sliding doors are highly convenient for separating home offices from the communal area. Moreover, you can put sliding doors even if your home office is in a separate room. Not only do they add a stylish look to your new workspace but also give you the privacy you need throughout working hours. Furthermore, they let in light from the other room, which means you won’t need to turn on the lights that often in your home office.
Besides, if you live with your family and kids, these sliding doors can help you focus on your work without any interruptions while at the same time allows you to keep an eye on your kids or pets, for example. When you slide the doors open, that means you are available, so your family members can come in. On the other hand, when they are closed completely, it means you are in a meeting, messaging a coworker through alternatives to Slack or fully focused on your work assignments.
Mix Different Textures
If you are going for an elegant look, then you should definitely experiment with different textures. Why stick to only one of them when you can combine them for a more wholesome look? You can use one texture type on the walls and another on the furniture and floors. In case you have some old furniture pieces lying around unused, you can revive them by lacquering them in any hue or color you like. It will look nothing like the old piece. Similarly, you can add a layer of warmth and different texture with a carpet of any color, pattern, and texture.
Combine Various Patterns
To make your home office modern and trendy, you should be bold and combine various patterns. For instance, add a stripped two-colored rug on the floor, paint your chairs into your favorite neon hue, and put up some canvass on the wall to make a bold statement. If the nature of your work allows, you should consider using a comfortable and practical settee instead of an office chair. In case you don’t feel like spending too much money on art pieces, you can always express your creativity and make your own canvass. Art stores offer blank canvasses in different sizes while various DIY projects can be found online.
On the whole, there is no reason why home offices wouldn’t be inspiring as well. Who knows, maybe working in a modern home office might motivate you to give your all at work and climb the career ladder faster.
