With more and more professionals working from home these days, it’s important to have a stylish home office that leaves you feeling inspired and ready to get down to business. Here are a few smart tips that will show you how to decorate where you work, whether it’s a small desk area or a full-fledged office.

1. Improve your alignment. One of the best parts about working from home is that it enables you to get more comfortable than you would at the office. To avoid back and shoulder strain, prop your computer or laptop up to eye-level by using a flat box or a stack of books. Also be sure to use a sturdy, cushioned chair for long days at your desk.
2. Organize your supplies. Add sectioned containers for things like pens, paperclips, and staples so that you don’t waste time rummaging around.
3. Utilize natural light. Position your desk near a window for natural light and a bit of a view, but be sure to use sheer curtains so that it doesn’t become too distracting.
4. Use relaxed colors. Shades of blue, green, and grey create a relaxing work area, and choosing a muted palette keeps everything cohesive.
5. Add floating shelves. If you’re short on space, floating shelves add extra storage while keeping your desk free of clutter.
