Home Office: How to configure your workspace to maximize productivity - My compact office work at home has become a personal haven - it is an inspirational space -the comfortable with last-minute technology. However, it took a while to get the color palette and finesse the different storage options on offer. It is now a multipurpose room and a home office where I can work productively. After all, post effective work could double as an area for homework, media room and even - if you want it - a place to read a novel about a lazy weekend. Try these tactics to make your office, the seat of the house without super comfortable space organized as you want it to be.

minimize distractions
it is now common for not just one person in the family to study or work at home, but two or more - and it is not always practical to set up more than one room as a home office. When two people are (or choose to) work in the same room, the best way to ensure career (and relationships!) Success may be facing opposite directions. Such positioning acts as a barrier, but you can always turn around and discuss the latest proposals of work ... or decide what's on the menu for dinner!
The challenges may still arise, however. If the other person sends you a fool with strong typing, eating or phone chatting, try noise-canceling headphones - they can be expensive, but it is a great productivity solution. In addition, you enjoy your favorite songs in peace. If the music is too distracting, try playing soothing sounds of nature.

keep the space uncluttered
These days, a study can be virtually paperless - and what a great way to minimize congestion in a compact space. But the more technology we acquire, the more cables we have to hide. Otherwise, an unsightly mess of cables is not only a distraction, but can also make your office space look chaotic.
Install a false return to your office from the ground and hide all son behind her, or just spend the son through the plumbing pipe or a hose and duct tape under the farthest edge of your desk - all you need to hide the remote son.

Choose a palette of soothing color
Home offices are usually the last place on the decorative agenda in most homes, but if you work at home, they should probably top the list. When you spend hours and hours in a space that you hope to feel happy, comfortable and productive, it pays to spend time in thinking about how to make it look the part.
Although the home office is both simple and functional, it also has a strong design value. The palette of white and blue color lights up the room, while the blond wood trim provide fine detail. soothing color palettes can convert a utility space in an office in the quiet house. All you have to tackle and get things done.

Choose appropriate lighting
When a room has grandeur and elegance, why would not you want to gravitate towards it? Spreadsheets, files and documents can suddenly seem more attractive - even on weekends! To operate such a space effectively as a home office, however, a variety of light sources is required. Here, the room has a mixture of ceiling and a desk lamp for task lighting and decorative pendant for ambient lighting. In a bad mood darkened office, a concentrated pool of light is ideal for burning the midnight oil.

Plan the layout right
First of artwork and lighting to furniture and drapery can give your heat office and personality which you need to work at home a pleasure. Experience with office position to see what feels good. The office location in the home office means that even if natural light pours into the room, there is little reflection on the computer screen. Another bonus is that the owner faces the door so that no one can sneak up from behind! A home office does not need to be cold and clinical - it is the perfect opportunity to unleash your creativity. Added bonus: dressing for work is optional.

Create a flexible set-up
office often needs to double as an occasional guest room. But who wants to walk an awkward bed 90% of the time? A retractable wall bed is a solution that just makes sense.

Being organized
a busy person is often productive, but only when the organization comes in. Have systems in place to prioritize tasks, keep your inbox under control, and anticipate potential shocks on the road with emergency plans. Plenty of storage, in the form of a library in the home office can make life easier if you are keen to be more organized. Files and reference works are easily accessible, and your stationery can find a home there, too.
