Follow our easy home off styling<\/strong> tips to ensure you create the best home office for your space, whilst sticking to a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important that you try and find an area to create your office. It doesn\u2019t have to be a whole room, but you may have a study nook area or an alcove that is deep enough for a desk and chair, even a corner of a room will suffice. It\u2019s important for productivity as well as for your posture to have a dedicated space (that means no more using the laptop in bed for most of the day)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take the time to imagine your office space, even draw a sketch so you can see what will go where. It will stop you from doing anything on a whim and you\u2019ll be able to focus on your plan and stay on course as well as sticking to your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider using a floating desk if you need more floor space, and floating shelves on the wall allow for you to have storage or decorative space, without taking up any valuable room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spend time thinking about how you want your office space to feel, most people want clear open spaces to ensure that this allows for them to have calm, a space to breath and focus on their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Work Out What You Need Versus What You Want Needs and wants are two very different things, especially when you\u2019re shopping on a budget. What are the basics you need to get you by and what do you already have at home that you can utilise? It\u2019s important that you also take into consideration ergonomics and the overall look that you\u2019re hoping to achieve for your space. You may want something slimline that can convert from a workspace to an occasional table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make a list of what is needed for you to be able to complete your work as if you were in the office. The same applies to kids, although many schools use programs like Google Classroom and Seesaw, there may be times that they aren\u2019t required to use their tablets and need an area to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re able to go paperless, a printer is one less expense that you will need to outlay, which is not only great for the environment, but you\u2019ll also have one less office item that you will need to find space for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also allows you to work remotely, many documents can be legally signed with digital signatures and if you are required to scan any documents, there are many apps available on phones and tablets that act like scanners and can create PDF documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One person\u2019s trash is another person\u2019s treasure. Search through Market Place, Gumtree and other classifieds to see if you can find items for your intended home office style<\/strong> that are reasonably priced. Many people often give away desks\/chairs, study lamps for free or at a minimal cost just to clear the space. Saving money on some items allows you to use your budget elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allow some budget for the fun part, decorating! You can pick up reasonably priced homewares from Kmart and the like. Consider an indoor plant or mirror for your home office styling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeasure Your Office Space<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
