Tips for Putting Together the Ultimate Home Office
Did you recently take the plunge into working from home? Be forewarned, the thrill of remote work will fade quickly if you aren’t properly set up for your endeavors. It can be hard to know where to begin, though, when your situation is all new. Take the guesswork out of creating your perfect workspace with the following tips and resources from Mommies Reviews:
Productive and Professional Space
Just because you’re working from home doesn’t mean you don’t need a dedicated workspace.
The amount of square footage you use will determine your tax deduction—a plus from your long-term situation.
Choose a low-traffic area, especially if you have ADHD.
No spot in the house that’s appropriate? Consider a garage conversion.
A spot with natural light can help you stay more productive, healthier and happier.
Similarly, your color scheme can impact how energetic and productive you are.
Consider Your Comfort
Spending hours on end in front of a computer screen will eventually take a toll—unless you set yourself up properly.
Slouching can damage your productivity, as well as your back.
An ergonomic chair keeps you more comfortable while sitting.
Take steps to avoid eye strain.

Organize your space in a manner that is both beautiful and functional.
Add attractive, easy-care houseplants for better air quality.
Enjoy listening to music while you work? Get the best sound quality with a soundbar.
If working from home is your new normal, be sure to make some adjustments before it becomes a literal pain. Establish a comfortable and professional space to work, and add a few things that help keep you focused and productive. You’ll love working from home long-term, thanks to your good choices!
