Ideally, working from home means having a home office. For many people, that’s not the reality. It doesn’t matter if you live in a studio or small #onebedroom apartment, or if you live with multiple roommates and the only space you have is your bedroom, you can still create an effective work from home setup.
Creating a #workspace in a small apartment is possible, it just requires a bit more creativity. Make a work corner. A work chair. It doesn’t matter where that workspace is, just that it’s your dedicated working spot. Here are a few tips to help you optimize your small space for #workingfromhome:
The reality of working from home in a small apartment is that you’ll be carving out a space to work in a room that serves a different purpose. If you can make your workspace look attractive, go for it. If not, don’t worry about the aesthetics, it’s the function that matters.
Sometimes you have to sacrifice design for functionality. If you work from a kitchen table, think about moving the table to a different spot rather than spending money on a new desk.
There’s often a creative solution for most challenges, and sometimes you have to experiment with a few different options until you find what works best.
Good lighting must be a top priority. You’ll be spending hours sitting in front of a screen, which puts a strain on your eyes. Good lighting can help to alleviate some of that strain and the unwanted side effects that come with it, including headaches and overall fatigue.
If possible, set up your workspace near a window. Natural light does wonders for your mood and can even increase productivity. Not to mention that if the weather is nice, you can open the window and enjoy a nice breeze while you work….
One of the best space ideas for a home office is to use the full height of your wall. Install shelving that goes high up, stack your drawers, and make use of the space below the desk. By building vertically instead of horizontally, you’re still using the same amount of floor space in your home while optimizing storage space, keeping everything you need nearby.
It’s important your home office computer setup is ergonomic. If you take shortcuts here, you could end up with long (and short) term problems. You’ll want a chair with back support that’s set up right. The chair’s height should keep your eye level with your screen when your back is straight.
A desk is also of the essentials in setting up a workspace. This will support your laptop, lamp desk, or any office tools that you will be needing. In choosing the right desk, you must bear in mind the type of work that you have and how much space it will need for a desk.
If you only need a laptop, that would be much better. This will not occupy too much space in your apartment since you have a limited source. Bear in mind that a desk should be large enough and just the right height to achieve the comfort you need while working. If you need a larger desk to support the kind of work you do but you’re thinking of the space you only have, sort out the things you can keep in a storage facility for the meantime.
We know, we know: Being stuck inside and working on a perfect, 70-degree day is the absolute worst. So, bring nature indoors and into your workday with wood textures, plants, geodes, and photographs of your favourite natural places and spaces.
Limited space should not limit you in creating areas in your apartment that are essential to your #living. There are unlimited resources that can help you achieve those possibilities. All you need is to be open-minded and creative in finding those little things!
