Pretty up the Office

In the early part of last century most ordinary people did not give a lot of consideration to the bathroom of their house – if, indeed, there even was a separate bathroom. After all, in those days the loo would be an outhouse, and the weekly bath might be taken in a portable washtub dragged in front of the kitchen fire for warmth.

So when moving house or considering a remodelling of an existing home, the bath and toilet space just wasn’t important. It took a few decades before bathrooms became major selling points for a new home.

Similarly, in the very early part of this century there was another room that hardly ever received much consideration, but only a few short years later it has become one that just about everybody uses and needs: the home office.

Even if you don’t actually do any proper work from home, you still need space nowadays for the computer, laptop, printer, wireless hub, computer CDs, USB sticks, technical manuals, and so on. You need to house all these on a desk with shelves or a cupboard. You need a home office.

Even if it is nothing more than a niche in a hall or in the corner of another room, just about everyone today will calculate this home office space in when looking over prospective new homes or when planning a redecoration or remodelling. It has become a basic part of 21st-century living, so basic that we can hardly remember a time when we didn’t plan for it.

However, too many people consider their home office space to be just a functional area, and they do not put any thought into interior office design. But why not decorate your working space with as much thought as you put into the living room or bedroom? After all, we spend a lot of time when supposedly working just staring into space or at the wall in front of us, so make it a well-designed, attractive wall.

Flowers on the desk, pictures on your newly decorated wall space, stickers on your computer, all contribute to brightening up the working area, and will all also contribute to improving your mood if you have to sit down and actually do some work!
