Home office furniture: Create a climate of efficiency

Tips for building your teleworking space

Working from home is already a dream come true for many, but to be able to carry out work effectively, it is very important to build a space that encourages comfort and offers a welcoming atmosphere.

To do this, the experts at QeChic have prepared a series of tips to help you get there, let's get started!

1. choice of space

The temptation to work from the sofa or bed is limitless, but you have to avoid it at all costs. At QeChic we recommend that you choose a separate room to place your office furniture at home, thanks to which your brain will interpret that it is time to start your workday.

If you do not create this space, you may not adequately disconnect from work because other activities are usually carried out in rooms such as the living room or bedroom at the end of the day, therefore, you should try not to associate them with your work activity.

A desk, chairs and shelves are the common pieces of furniture that make up this space, but we want you to discover other points to put your focus on. Keep reading!

2. points of light

It is obvious, but many times it is not given the importance it deserves. Light is essential for your mood. We recommend that you place your desk near a window thanks to the passage of natural light it offers.

If it is not possible and you have to resort to artificial lighting, keep in mind that not all types of light intensities work. Stay away from those that are very hard and choose the diffuse ones better. How to place it? The table lamp should not create a reflection on the computer or other electronic devices, we recommend that you modify its position until you find the optimal one.

3. The importance of color

As we already know, shades have a great influence on your mood. Apart from choosing your home office furniture well, the color of your room will affect your work performance.

White or neutral colors are the most chosen resource when creating a space with sensations of tranquility, clean and clear. But at QeChic, we recommend that you take into account what is the ideal climate to carry out your work activity efficiently.

For example, if you are dedicated to marketing, creativity must be present during the course of the work, red and orange colors are ideal to stimulate it. On the other hand, if you require a high dose of concentration, the color blue will be your faithful ally.

4. How to choose the desktop?

Although it is a point that depends on the style you want to provide to your home office, when deciding on a desk or another you will have to answer the following questions:

- What material is your favorite?

- Will you use only one computer or will you have to write things down as well?

- Will you need storage and organization spaces?

- What is the size of the room?

Its functionality has a direct impact on the comfort that you will enjoy when doing the work. At QeChic we always bet that you choose a standard size desk where, after placing the computer, you can have free space to take notes or even put your cup of coffee.

In addition, office desks must meet ergonomic requirements which encourage good posture. This is where office chairs come into play, we will tell you below what you have to look for when choosing them.

5. ergonomic desk chairs

Achieving the ideal posture while you work is very important due to the many hours you will spend sitting in front of the computer. This must be located in the center of the table and the desk must allow you to support your wrists and forearms, therefore, you must take into account its height.

Ergonomic office chairs help you maintain a position that favors your cardiovascular health, being able to adapt your position comfortably. If these seats can be adjusted in height, all the better! Some of the models have wheels so you can move with it easily.

6. Give prominence to the ordination!

A space where everything is well organized creates a climate that encourages concentration and creativity. Before choosing a shelf, take a second to think about where you want to place it and the number of items you will store on it, so you know how many shelves you need.

This should follow the style line of the layout you are building. You can even add some decorative piece that enhances your body.

7. watch your back

Once you have chosen all the home office furniture, you must take into account what the camera of your computer focuses on. With the rise of teleworking, online meetings have become more and more frequent and it is important to have a good back to improve the first impression on you. Support yourself with artificial silver, decorative paintings, or any other type of figure that enhances your character.
