Building the Perfect Home Office
In recent years, the way we work has undergone a significant transformation. The rise of remote work and flexible schedules has led to a growing realisation of the importance of having a dedicated home office. Whether a freelancer, a remote worker, studying or someone who occasionally brings work home, establishing a home office can have a profound impact on productivity, well-being, and overall work experience.
Location
Choosing the right location for your home office is crucial for creating a productive and comfortable workspace. Selecting a location in your home that is relatively quiet and free from excessive noise, such as high foot traffic areas or proximity to noisy appliances, will help you stay focused for longer. Our tip is to place your home office in a separate room or a designated area in order to create a boundary for a better work-life balance. We love making the most of every space possible, and the Yallunda 31, on display at Roseworthy, demonstrates a study nook that is perfectly positioned in the centre of the home – away from communal areas and distractions such as screens and bedrooms.

Embrace Natural Lighting
Natural light plays a crucial role in creating a positive and productive environment. Exposure to natural light has been linked to improvements in mood and well-being, with the production of serotonin contributing to the feelings of happiness and contentment, helping reduce stress and enhancing your overall emotional state while working. Where possible, choose a space with access to natural light to boost energy levels and reduce eye strain. If natural light is limited, invest in good artificial lighting to create a well-lit environment. Our light and bright home office in the Taldra 30, on display at Riverlea, is the perfect place to inspire work and study. The addition of a raked ceiling takes advantage of the natural light that streams into this space, elevating this room's creative aura.

Storage
Incorporating added storage to your home office is essential for maintaining an organised and efficient workspace. From floating shelves to multifunctional furniture, bookshelves and wall-mounted organisers, excessive storage solutions provide an environment that is well-organised and clutter-free, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of your space. Assess your specific needs and tailor your storage to suit both your personal preferences and the layout of your home office. For storage inspiration, take a virtual tour of the Sutherland 34 on display in Bluestone Mount Barker.

Styling
Personal touches make a workspace feel more like your space, adding warmth and comfort. Whether it is photos of cherished memories on your desk, artwork that brings you joy, indoor plants or fresh flowers that bring life to your space or your favourite books on display, surrounding yourself with elements that make your home office uniquely yours can transform your workspace into an area you will love being in.
