Pro Tips for Styling Your Office or Home Workspace

The face of corporate jobs is slowly evolving; hybrid work has become a popular option among professionals. According to the Singapore Business Review, 59% of professionals prefer a flexible working arrangement. Whatever the case, be it a permanent work-from-home setup, going back to the office, or a combination of the two, you might want to consider getting the best furniture in Singapore.

It’s important to have the proper workspace, wherever it may be, to boost your productivity and also give you a good work-life balance. To give you an idea on workspace styling, here are some tips to help you out:

1. Separate Your Space

As much as possible, you must have your own space for work. At home, this needs to be separate from other areas, such as your bedroom or living area. This is so you wouldn’t associate your bedroom with work and simply keep it for resting. Find the right location for your home workspace away from distractions. Once you have the proper spot, you can better style your space.

When it comes to your office, if you have your own cubicle, that’s already a good start. But for co-working spaces, make sure that your desk space is yours and you stick to it. Your stuff shouldn’t be in your colleagues' area and vice versa.

4. Prioritise Comfort

Whether you are at home or in an office building, comfort should be a priority. How else would you be able to work if your back does not feel supported by the chair you are sitting on or you’re slumped over the desk where you type or write?

A comfortable office chair in Singapore is not hard to find if you know where to look. Vitra has an amazing range of seats designed for work, aptly named “Task Chairs.” These seating options offer flexibility to provide perfect sitting positions for a healthier you.

5. Improve Light

According to research, almost 60 million people are affected by CVS or Computer Vision Syndrome. Sometimes, all you need to do is tweak the lighting in your workspace to avoid this uncomfortable and work-disrupting problem.

Opt for white or blue hues for lighting as it induces concentration. Make sure that your computer screen’s lighting is optimized for your eye’s comfort in the office. It also helps to have an overhead light above your desk or a desk lamp (check out Vitra’s Lampe De Bureau) beside you.

6. Use Vertical Space

Not everyone has an office that has a rather large footprint. With desk- and floor-space limited, it’s a pro-move to consider using vertical space. Instead of lining up your desk with your chargers, pens, and other tools, why not a pegboard or corkboard.

Vitra’s Uten.Silo I is a perfect solution for using vertical space. It has assorted compartments for all types of items, even magazines and notebooks. It also doesn’t hurt that this piece of organization furniture is stylish, too..

8. Go for Quality

One of the most common problems a lot of people encounter when styling their workspace or office is they don’t focus too much on quality. Remember, whether you are going to do office work for a long time or not, quality can make a huge difference in your productivity and even your work mood.

Don’t settle for furniture just because it does the job or it looks good. You also have to consider if it will last long. Go for brands that are trusted in the office furniture industry.

9. Take Style Cues from the Home or Office

Another common mistake people make when styling their offices, especially inside the home, is they only think about that space. The result, the space is detached from everything else in the house. It doesn’t necessarily have to be matchy-matchy with the rest of the furniture at home. You can simply go for the same colour palette or add details that will tie in with other items in the house.

If you are in an office building, you can choose the decor for your table that will complement rather than clash with other spaces.
