Must-Haves of Every Productive Home Office Workspace

Planning to create a home office to enhance your productivity? In today’s post, JLR Home Renovation, the leader in basement, bathroom and kitchen remodeling discusses what features a productive home office workspace should have.

1. Separate your office from the rest of your home. If you work from home, it’s important to establish your home office as a separate area of the home from where you “live.” Creating a boundary between your work space and your living space will enhance your experience of both, while also helping you be more motivated and productive at work.

2. Invest in sufficient storage space. Your siding provider recommends that your workplace have sufficient storage space for your important documents and valuables. Consider buying a file cabinet or a chest of drawers to stay organized. This will help you be more productive.

3. Install proper lighting. Lighting is a critical component of any workspace. Rather than an abrasive overhead light, consider investing in floor lamps and a table lamp for bright yet gentle illumination. 

4. Be smart about the layout. Think carefully about the layout of your home office. The most ideal set up is to place your sofa against the wall and your work desk near a window. If you are considering replacement windows, it is best to seek guidance from your trusted contractor.
