BACK TO WORK
Now the summer is behind us, it’s “back to work we go!”. With so many of us now working from home following the pandemic, the home office has become an important installation, and for some people a new feature that they pre viously hadn’t thought of including. Whether you dedicate an entire room for an office or simply allocate a small area in a living room or spare bedroom, needless to say it is important to get it right and ensure the ergonomics are at their optimum. Comfortable adjustable seating, a desk that offers convenient storage for organisational purposes and a good light source are certainly the main considerations when designing your workspace. The area doesn’t have to be boring and sterile: inject some personality and warmth with plants, table accessories or a rug for something soft underfoot, and consider hanging a painting or even a mood board to help inspire you.
