Hello World! Welcome Friends! If you’re going to get things done at home to the best of your ability, then you’re probably going to want a fun and inspiring room that you can do that in. Your environment really does make a big difference to how productive you are and your mood, so making sure your environment suits you and your working style will go in your favor massively. Whether you work from home occasionally, have a side hustle, or simply want a space where you can get your admin done in peace, you’ll find some ideas for a fun and inspiring home office below.
Put Up Inspiring Quotes
If there are some quotes that you really love, put them up. You could hand write them or buy them in print form. Use these quotes to remind yourself of why you’re doing what you’re doing and to get you in the right mindset.
Use A Fun Color Scheme
A fun color scheme is always going to brighten up a boring home office and make your life more joyful. Colors like yellow and orange are great, but you should use the colors that speak to you. You don’t need to just paint the walls either; just include pops of color with artwork, furniture, cushions, rugs, etc.
Give Yourself A Nice Space To Make Notes
Make sure you have a fun space to make notes – you could use a diy dry erase board, for example. This will give your home office something truly unique and interesting! Plus, you’ll be less likely to forget something important when you can write it in big letters to stay in the forefront of your mind.
Put Up Pictures That Make You Happy
Put up pictures of your friends, family, and pets – make sure you’re surrounded with things that make you happy. Your office environment shouldn’t feel sterile. Don’t forget your artwork, either!
Give Yourself A Space To Lounge and Gather Your Thoughts
If the room is big enough, create a space where you can lounge and gather your thoughts. A comfortable two seater sofa and a nice coffee table with some magazines and books scattered should do the trick.
Make Sure You Let in Lots of Natural Light
Natural light is a must for productivity! Make sure you let in as much as possible and that your window dressings allow for this. Artificial light just doesn’t compare.
Watch Out For Clutter
You may thrive better in a minimalist workspace, so watch out for creating too much clutter – even if the clutter is simply visual. Having too many things in the space could make it distracting for you.
Invest In Ergonomic Furniture
Make sure you think functional first, aesthetically pleasing second when buying your furniture. Ergonomic furniture should help you to keep everything healthy and in alignment while you work, rather than hunched over just begging for an injury.
Buy Fresh Flowers and Plants
Fresh flowers and plants will brighten the place up substantially. They can make us happier, too, according to studies. Oh, and don’t forget the air purifying benefits!

Even before the pandemic started, I’ve been working from home. I’ve been working from home for 10 years and one thing I can add is to stay active. Just next to my workspace is where I can do a some exercise. It’s not good to sit for hours. So it’s important that you should stay active while working at home.
