Your smart working corner in 5 steps

Even though it is true that much depends on personal taste, there are 5 practical tips that are always valid that we want to share with you. 

Select home office furniture ✔️

Choosing the right furniture is essential to creating an effective workspace. Among the furniture options for the home office are ergonomic desks, with enough space for a PC, documents and other accessories. For example, the cable holes to keep wires tidy, or the worktops with built-in drawers to store stationery or other objects.

The chairis also of crucial importance, because we spend a lot of time in front of the PC and it must be comfortable and adjustable, so as to adapt to the needs of each body, to prevent muscle tension.

There are chairs on the market with headrests, armrests, adjustable seat height and inclination: they are the most reliable for furnishing a home office.

Equip your smart working workstations ✔️

In our opinion, a monitor with an eye care screen (to protect your eyes), an ergonomic chair and a lamp with adjustable light intensity are key elements that can never be missing in a workstation equipped for smart working.

In addition to these, other useful accessories are an adjustable PC stand, which can help you maintain a correct posture, reducing the risk of fatigue, and a charging point for your phone and other devices at hand.

Take advantage of natural light ✔️

Place your workstation near windows to make the most of natural light. Our advice is to place the desk perpendicular to the window: this way you can always see the screen well and avoid glare.

Integrate natural light with artificial light, preferably with directional and dimmable lamps - that is, with adjustable intensity - to ensure uniform brightness without tiring your eyes during the evening hours.

Choose colors ✔️

Colors can influence your mood and productivity, so it's important to choose them carefully for your home office!

Opt for neutral shades such as white, gray or beige to create an environment that inspires serenity. The use of brighter tones such as green or blue, on the other hand, can stimulate concentration, while colors that are too bright could distract.

The choice of colors is valid for both the walls and the furnishings if you are not planning on repainting the walls.

Make your home office comfortable and quiet ✔️

To make your home office quieter there are some precautions that can be adopted. For example, you could add rugs, curtains and other textile furnishings that muffle sounds. To reduce internal reverberation, however, there is nothing better than sound-absorbing panels. 

There are many on the market, in various shapes and colors, to adapt to the style of each home. 

Small study room? Here is the solution!

Do you have limited space? You can still create an effective home office, let's see how!

Folding desk

A folding desk allows you to extract the work surface when needed and can be stored away when not in use. This way, you only use the space when you need to work and free it up when you're done.

Shelves and equipped walls

Use shelves and other suspended furniture to free up floor space. You can place books, documents and other essential objects and take advantage of the height of the room.

Mirrors

Mirrors have the advantage of creating the illusion of a larger space. Just place one in the space to have the perception of making the room brighter and more airy.

Furnishing a corner for smart working requires attention to detail and a practical approach. It’s important to create a workspace that boosts your productivity and makes you feel comfortable during your work-from-home days.
