Create your home office: what do you need?

Teleworking is gaining ground over face-to-face work, and remote jobs are becoming more and more common. The most comfortable and efficient way to telecommute is to have a specially designed space. 

Requirements for a home office

The first step in designing a home office is to choose the right place. The idea is to have a room exclusively for this purpose and to equip it with all the essential elements to work comfortably and without distractions. 

This separation of uses is not only a question of efficiency but also of functionality. When working at home, it is essential to separate the areas dedicated to professional activity and family time and leisure. 

Another essential aspect when choosing a workspace at home is the light. Choosing a well-lit room with natural light and, if possible, ensuring cool white lighting of about 6,000 k and efficient LED-type bulbs is advisable. 

The decoration is all a matter of taste. Overall, minimalist spaces create fewer distractions, and the placement of plants has been shown to positively affect productivity. 

Basic accessories for setting up a home office

Comfort is an essential element in any workspace. To achieve this, it is not only necessary to have good lighting and appropriate decoration. The choice of furniture is also essential. 

In a home office, there are two essential elements:

• Chair: it is essential to maintain a good posture while working. Ergonomic chairs have higher prices, but in exchange, they greatly adjust the height, weight and curvature of the back.
• Desk: A height of 75-80 cm is recommended, as well as a ample space for the chair to fit well and to be able to move the legs comfortably. Chests of drawers and other storage spaces are convenient to maintain order.
