The work-from-home scheme just got a big push from the current pandemic. COVID-19 has made us realize that it’s no longer necessary to be in the office full-time to be a productive member of our team. We can set meetings, submit our deliverables, share our ideas and collaborate virtually. Thanks to communication tools such as Zoom, Google Hangouts, MS Teams, Skype and Facetime that enable us to get our things done remotely.
We’ve seen that work-from-home can boost productivity and lower organizational costs while making the employees enjoy the perks of skipping the daily commute and managing their own time.
However, to be able to work effectively from your condo, you’ll need to make sure that you are set up to be productive. This includes setting up a quiet, private and functional workspace with the right office equipment and fast internet service.
A dedicated workspace in your condo will surely help set aside distractions and allow you to focus on accomplishing your deliverables.
Make your condo home office a place you’ll love to be by designing it according to your personality and style! Here are some condo home office ideas that will inspire you to get your work done in the comfort of your own condo.
Minimalist
Make your condo home office simple, clean and “empty”. Get rid of unnecessary stuff!
The visual style of minimalism is classic, making things look clean, ordered and simple.
Choose one or two colors for your condo home office, choose a desk with clean lines, get chairs to match it and carefully choose your lighting and the artwork on your walls.
Always remember, “Minimalists don’t focus on having less, less, less; rather, they focus on making room for more – more time, more passion, more experiences, more growth, more contribution, more contentment, more freedom.”
Fresh and clean
A little color goes a long way in an all-white workspace. White spaces are known to have a positive effect on the mood and energy of the person. It makes you feel clean and helps you experience airiness, restfulness and joy.
Just add minimal elements and just enough colors and shapes for that oomph feeling!
Pops of color
Transform a bright, light and white workspace into something fun and exciting! Make it a perfect place to think and be creative by adding some pops of color!
Be playful and creative as you make a splash of colors against white cabinet and table. You can also use bright-colored accents for an added flair to your private space.
Muji-style
A condo home office built on Muji philosophy reflects minimalism and quality in living. It’s having a clean and white pristine workspace which is anything but ordinary.
Jazz up your condo home office with one of the most comfortable elements in a Muji home – bean bags. You can simply move them anywhere and still make your space tidy.
You can also have storage spaces to keep things neat and organized.
Applying Muji philosophy in your workspace does not only mean keeping it plain and simple, it is about purposefully organizing your space so you can feel a sense of peace, balance and tranquility while being productive at work.
Bring the outdoors in
Nature does us good and when it comes to working in a condo home office, even the smallest nature-inspired element can help relieve stress, calm the mind and bring about a lot of mental benefits.
Why not place your desk next to a window for that natural light that can instantly give you outdoor inspiration? You can also try hanging beautiful frames or plant-inspired wall art pieces, displaying indoor plants and placing them near your rustic desk for that “secret garden” workspace vibe.
There are a lot of ways to set up and style your condo home office to get you feel inspired and motivated to work. No matter how big or small your workspace is, what matters most is you make it comfortable and functional for you to do what you need to do while on MECQ.
Among these condo home office ideas, which best reflects your style? Are you sophisticated, modern or purely practical?
