Sitting in a home office all day long can get monotonous. Break through the daily rut by dressing up your home office with some cool home office furniture and light fixtures. Unless you don’t operate your own home office, you may not have total control over your office furniture and lighting. Most bosses will be OK with that, as long as it doesn’t change their decor too much. This will be the case too if you work in a commercial office.
If the current arrangement seems stale, have some type table lamps lighting brought in. That is the single most efficient way to suddenly and completely turn the stale old look of the room on its head. You don’t have to buy a new bookcase for your home office. Simple light fixtures that can be moved around or repositioned to light an existing piece of furniture can make all the difference.[I:http://www.bestlongislandhomeinspectors.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/HenryThompson1.jpg]
Maybe your home office could benefit with a piece of home lighting as simple as a new bookcase light or wall sconce. If it’s a simple bookcase, dress it up with some down lights or even track lighting. Or bring in a small chandelier that can help hold class up the place. Highlight some of your personal items like photo frames or certificates – it adds a personal touch to the space.
If it’s truly funky home lighting you’d like to add to your home office, you can find it. If you don’t have a local retailer, take your search on line. You can even find lights that come on when you clap, exotic table lamps, floor lamps that look like totem poles and lots of other fun, funky home lighting ideas. Basically, if you can think of it, you can probably find the home lighting you’d like! Your search may take a little while and you might pay a pretty penny, but it will be worth it if you find the funky lighting that makes going to work fun!
Another fun piece of furniture and lighting you could add to your home office is an ottoman and floor lamp pair. It is really great when you can put your feet up and keep the room dark while using the floor lamp to illuminate your work. Even if you don’t utilize its function, an ottoman could dress up a room. One tip though, make sure the fabric for the ottoman is your favorite color. I love sitting on my recliner with my feet up on the ottoman and the room dimly lit except for the floor lamp that illuminates my work that’s on my lap – just one of the perks of working in a home office.
If you have room in your home office, an arm chair and floor lamp lighting would be a nice furniture and lighting combination. Or how about a recliner like I have? If you have one left over from a home re-arrangement, taking the chair or recliner to the home office would be like bringing a little bit of home to work. It would also help create a personal atmosphere in what might otherwise be a stuffy or cold environment. Mark my words, you will use this combination more than anything else in your office.
No matter how long you have been in the same home office, you can make the space feel new and exciting by adding just a simple piece of furniture and light fixtures. Whatever your office furniture is, it doesn’t hurt to express your taste. Make your space, at home or at the office, your own, your productivity will shoot through the roof.
