With the world swirled into a pandemic for the last two years, there has been a massive change in the way we work. Work from home became the new norm. Closing in the houses for close to two years has brought all of us to many real facts. One of them is undoubtedly investing in office furniture like a convenient computer table to accommodate more than a laptop or a desktop.
Apart from sleek furniture, here are a few tips and tricks that we have for you to make your work from home experience pleasant and pleasing:
Maintain your posture
Well, this has been the most touted and often ignored factor. Having said that, it is wise to relook at your posture. An improper posture can often lead to a sore back, so avoid sitting on bed, couch, bar stool, or down at a coffee table. A poor posture will eventually give you back pain, hence investing in a comfortable computer chair with sufficient lumbar and arm support.
Add sufficient cushioning
If you already have a computer chair but don’t think it is the right one, tweak it to give you the right support by adding cushions. There are different cushions available in the market like backrest cushions, lumbar support, orthopedic foam pillow, height enhancers, etc. You can see the one that matches your needs and put your existing chair to use.
Chose a well-ventilated spot
A well-ventilated workspace is often needed to keep you going through the day. Not being able to go out, not being able to be at your best every day can have a lot of emotional effects on us, choosing a corner can further add to this. Hence, choose a well-ventilated window spot that has natural air and light flowing in. In cases where that is not possible, you can pull the sheers, curtains, or blinds to allow natural light to sweep in.
Paint your spot
Once you have identified a spot for yourself, add a dash of color to it to make it appealing. Try your favorite colors, be bold with shades, design it and make the corner your little scrapbook from childhood. You need not hire a professional painter for that spot, instead be creative and DIY. There are a lot of informative videos available which can come in handy. Use them to your best and recreate your work from home nook magical and enticing.
Green your spaces
Not many of us know the beauty of having a silent life grow with us every day. Plants are often our low-maintenance friends that cheer us at no cost. Ornamental, decorative, succulents, and tabletop plants, there is an endless selection of varieties that you can shop from when it comes to plants. Get them to get that refreshing air and a gush of free oxygen. Work from home can often be like mixed feelings, exciting on a few days and overwhelming too, strike a fine balance with the above tips and make this new phase an interesting one. While some companies call in a hybrid model others are permanently eying at keeping their employees working from home- whatever the case may be one should be well prepared for the transition and make effective use of time and space.
