5 Practical Tips to a Happy and Organized Home Office

Being confined in our homes for almost a year now, we thought people could relate to us seeing the need for a happy and organized home office. Sharing with you 5 practical ideas in creating a work space that sparks joy!

1) Commit to a Color Scheme

Committing to a color scheme does not only make your space look well-put together, more importantly the color of your space has a direct correlation to your mood, emotions and vibe. It is wise then, to be intentional on your color choice for your home office as it greatly impacts your general feelings throughout your work day.

Some of the popular color choices for home offices today are:

• White - Evokes feelings of  Balance, Wholeness Puirty, Ease and Goodness.

• Gold - Often associated with glamour, luxury, cosmopolitan. It is also considered as a lucky color in Fengshui to attach abundance, prosperity and wealth.

• Earth - Normally gives off a solid vibe, much like the earth, and it's a color often associated with resilience, dependability, security, and safety 

• Blue -  Darker shades of blue  are  associated with intelligence and strength. If you want an office that inspires deep thoughts and concentration, Navy tones is a great choice.”

Committing to a colors scheme can also regulate your impulse buying. Example if you have a blue white and black color scheme, and you see a gold lamp that really speaks to you - even though it does - you will still not buy it because it does not blend well with your chosen color scheme. Sticking to your colors can definitely minimize accumulation of clutter.

2)  Add Some Inspiration

We always hear motivational speakers advise us "to always go back to our why".Adding favorite quotes, family pictures, pretty plants, or a vision board in your workspace is a brilliant idea! It will be constant reminders of our goals, aspirations, and why we work and grind day in day out.

3) Choose Beautiful yet Functional Home Office Accessories

Make sure to collect and put in items that are aesthetically pleasing to your eyes. But it does not stop there apart from being beautiful it must functional; it must aid you being productive throughout the day. To make curating easier for you, consider purchasing by collection, following a color scheme or finding multifunctional items that can help you increase your productivity. Keep in mind the words versatile, dual purpose, multi functional when shopping for beautiful pieces for your space.

4) Digital Decluttering

You're at a webinar, you are the presenter -and your computer starts to hang. Uh oh! Chances are you have way too many junk on your computer or you have too many applications running. Digital decluttering these days is a must! Scheduling a weekly purging of files and proper filing of important documents will  definitely save you from stress of your computer bogging down.

5) Evaluate Periodically

Overtime you might find that your current workspace does not seem to work for you anymore. A nagging feeling to freshen up your space usually happens every 3-5 years. You evolve as a person... so should your space. It has been said that "Decorating is not about stage sets, It's not about making pretty pictures for magazines/social media. It's really about creating a QUALITY lifestyle, a beauty that nourishes your soul" it would be good to periodically check if your surroundings give off a vibe that are still aligned with your core.
