It can be hard to create a home office that promotes productivity, but as more of us are choosing to work or study from the comfort of our own homes, having that dedicated space can make all the difference and is key to staying focused and motivated.
Whether you’re working from home full time, a few days a week, starting a side hustle or studying for your future. Keep reading for home office inspiration, from paint colours and office decor ideas to organisation tips, we have plenty of home office ideas to boost productivity.
1. Create a zoned workspace area with room dividers.
Don’t have a spare room you can dedicate to turning into an office space? Don’t panic, an unused corner or area of a room can work just as well if carefully designed.
Zoning your space can be a way to create an area suitable for work. One way you can achieve this is by using room dividers. These are fully customisable and can be either full height or half height and with added extras such as windows and shelves, you can really create a space that will work for you. Allowing you to get on with important tasks without being disturbed by, or disturbing, other household members. Separating your workspace from your living space also has the added bonus of helping you to switch off after a long day as you can leave your work behind.
2. Add houseplants for a boost of creativity
Did you know that plants can help you with your creativity? Studies have found that having plants in your office environment can help to increase your levels of creativity. If you aren’t very green fingered an artificial plant or even just looking at images of nature can help you to feel more relaxed and focused. And for plant fanatics, it’s an excellent excuse to get that new plant for your office space.
3. Choose your paint colour carefully
The colour of your workspace can have an effect on your mental well-being, creativity and overall mood. But which colour is best?
Blue has been found to be one of the best colours for a home office as it has the power to both soothe and stimulate your mind. The colour blue can create a sense of balance, helping you to stay focused on the task at hand.
Another option is to make your home office area a brighter space than the rest of the room. Bright bold colours can help boost your creativity and alertness, but whichever colour you choose, it should be something you love.
We provide a range of painting services including painting offices, painting doors, painting stairs, painting cupboards, painting skirting boards and more! So maybe it’s not just your walls that need painting, it might be the skirting boards and furniture too, but lucky for you we cover it all.
4. Your desk is key
Whether you are working from a shelf that can be cleverly closed up when not in use, or you have a fully decked-out office desk, your immediate workspace is key to boosting your productivity.
Making sure you have enough space for your laptop or desktop and keyboard to allow you to type comfortably will help with your flow. Then you also need to have the space to organise your work, and tools and to create sketches, or notes.

5. Take Inspiration From Wall Art
You want your home office to be aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. It’s important that your office is a place where you want to spend time and enjoy being.
Add inspirational quotes or your favourite images to help create a positive space ready to boost your mood.
6. Get Organised
Clutter is the number one way to put a damper on your creativity and productivity. Here are some tips to beat it.
- Only keep what you need on your desk.
- Storage solutions can be used to keep distracting paperwork filed away, or for items you need, but not every day.
- Use a cable tidy to keep all your wires and extension leads hidden away, it’s safer too. Cable tidying is one of the many handyman office services we offer.
- Consider using a corkboard or pegboard to add important reminders and to store items for quick access.
