Creating a functional home office 🖥️

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

✨ Working from home can be tough, but a functional workspace is a game-changer! Whether you're full-time remote, balancing office and home, or need a spot for personal tasks, a functional and inviting space is key.

✨ Working from home can be tough, but a functional workspace is a game-changer! Whether you're full-time remote, balancing office and home, or need a spot for personal tasks, a functional and inviting space is key.

🌟 Start by finding the right spot in your house. It’s not about size but making the most of what you have. Turn an oversized bedroom into a multi-purpose room. For productivity, natural lighting is vital, so place your desk near a window and add a desk lamp for those late-night work sessions.

🖥️ Choosing the right desk is crucial. Choose a simple design with just the essentials on display. Keep your space fresh by changing art and decor regularly, adding a rug for warmth, and bringing in plants.

🪑 Don’t forget a relaxing spot in your office like an armchair for reviewing documents.

🗂️ Stay organised! A tidy desk boosts focus. Use a locker cabinet for essential files and digital folders for everything else. A weekly clean-up keeps clutter at bay and sets you up for a productive week.

Have fun creating your home office space 🤗
