In the right light: Home Office

‘I love working from my home office. I get along with everyone. I don't have to dress up, and I'm always Employee of the Month’

The warning to 'stay at home' is still ringing in our ears. It's had a huge impact on us all... and on all facets of our lives. Working from home is the new normal. We've all had to be pretty adaptable as a result. All at once we had to sleep, eat, relax and work in one and the same place. Often alongside our partner. Not to mention the kids. And the cat.

To be able to function optimally, it is important that you make your home office a pleasant place to work. A place that creates a vibe that automatically puts you in 'work' mode.

We're happy to lend a hand with this! Read our tips below to make your work space functional and pleasant.

You can probably hear it coming... at the top of the list:

The right work light for your Home Office

Lighting is pivotal to making your home work space a success!

If possible, find a place with natural daylight. Daylight contributes to concentration and productivity and makes you feel more relaxed. Unfortunately, daylight alone isn't enough. That's why we have to make some important choices.

Base lighting

Lighting from above that evenly illuminates the room. This could be a ceiling lamp or a hanging lamp. What do you think of our Balls? 😍

Work lighting:

Pavia proves that function and style really can go hand in hand. With its integrated LED, it guarantees an ideal atmosphere for work.

Kill two birds with one stone! Fun & function. Go for a designer hanging lamp above your work space or a trendy desk lamp on your desk.

Important! Hou hierbij wel rekening met de keuze van de lichtbron! Denk na over kleurtemperatuur en lichtsterkte. De ideale kleurtemperatuur (link) om te werken begint bij een temperatuur van 3000K. Hoe hoger de waarde, hoe witter/kouder het licht.

Greenery 💚

Besides the simple fact that plants are just very decorative, they possess properties that you wouldn't believe!

- Plants in your Home Office = peace in your mind

Green, like blue, is a relaxing, soothing colour. It also radiates energy and strength.

- Plants in the house = healthier home

Plants have been proven to improve air quality. They filter out harmful substances and dust particles from the air, release oxygen and increase air humidity.

- Being around plants has a positive effect on your focus, memory and productivity.A study by the University of Michigan found people's memory improved 20% when in an environment with plants.

Make it personal

It's your home. So continue your interior style into your work space. Shop your favourite stationary, make sure you have a good desk and bulletin board and pick out some cool photos or posters. Tailor your lighting to the needs of the work space, buuuuut keep it stylish!

In this project we chose the Maestro table lamp This black design table lamp hides a golden core. A touch of extra warmth in this minimalist interior. A few well-chosen accessories and a handsome office chair complete the look. This makes it a work space where you'll be happy to spend your days.

Try to get into a routine and really think of your Home office as an 'office'. Go to your work space to work and take your breaks on your terrace or in the kitchen. The most effective thing you can do is set a schedule and stick to it. This way your body will come to know when and especially where it is time to work or relax.
