1. Choose colors that boost creativity and focus

The colors of your home office can have a significant effect on your mood and productivity levels, so you want to make sure you’re decorating with hues that’ll keep you focused all day long. Studies have shown that sticking to a cooler color palette — like blues, greens, and grays — increases concentration while decreasing stress. Effortlessly weave these colors throughout your space by painting your walls, adding accessories, or even choosing a desk or chair in a cool shade.

2. Comfort is key

Let’s be honest: your home office is where you spend the majority of your day. So why not make it as comfortable as possible? So gone are the days of sitting in an uncomfortable cubicle while you work! Now, you can enjoy the comfort of your own home while still creating a productive space. One way to bring extra comfort to your workspace is by adding a boutique rug beneath your desk and chair. This Flagstaff Navy & White Aztec Rug showcases a simple design in a rich blue shade. Plus, it’s a machine washable area rug, so you don’t have to worry about getting it dirty with shoe or chair scuffs — which is the perfect pick for a home office. Looking for something a little more neutral? This Joy Boho Gray Rug provides a nice medallion pattern in soft shades of gray. Add it beneath your workspace for added style and comfort.

3. Keep things organized

The last thing you want to do in your home office is add a bunch of clutter. In order to stay focused, you have to stay organized. So consider adding some methods of organization throughout your workspace to keep things neat and tidy. Filing cabinets and shelves are great storage solutions that work in even super small spaces. But if your home office doubles as a living area for your family, add some storage that’s also stylish (like this Fez Dark Storage Basket) to hide books, or blankets. The more organized your home office is, the easier it’ll be to accomplish your daily tasks.

4. Make it personal

No more cubicles means no more sterile environments to work in! Make your home office your own by adding family photos, wall art, momentos, and more. This’ll instantly add a pop of personality to your space — and make you actually want to spend time there.

5. Let the light in

Getting as much light as possible in your home office is another great way to boost your mood during your work day. Consider placing your desk by a window to soak up the sun during those long hours, or add some mood lighting with stylish lamps that double as decor. The more light, the better!

All of these tips and tricks will help you create a home office that you love — and it’ll make you actually want to sit down and check off your to-do list! For more design inspo, shop all of Fab Habitat’s rugs, accessories, and more decor here.
