CAIRO, Feb. 20 (SEE) - If you are one of the those whose office hours are not enough for them, then certainly you need a home office..

In a recent piece by Houzz.com, several ideas were provided on how to create, but also decorate an office inside your home.

The ideas presented provided suggestions on how to create work zones inside your house, not only for you, but may be for your studying sons and daughters. You need not to have special rooms or even big spaces, but the offices here were created in surprising spaces, like corners or under stairs, and ways.

Using colors, paints, plants and special accessories, a strong touch of beauty was added to inspire you to have one in your house.

Creating an office, like those, can not only be confined to work, as paper works, but it can also help you to limit your time on laptops for instance. Because limiting the place of using your laptop will, accordingly, limit its time. As much as the device is portable, its using is limitless.  

So let’s go out through the suggestions presented on how to create, decorate your home office, below:

1. Perk Up Your Office With Wallpaper

Turn your attention to more interesting paperwork with a lively wallpaper design on the desk wall. A small area like this could be covered in an afternoon.

Or instead paper the back wall of your bookshelves. To finish the look, add a few accessories that pick up a color from the new design.

2. Add Houseplants

Greenery is good for the soul. So add a natural touch to a home office area with some trailing houseplants or sculptural succulents.

Many houseplants are valued for their air-purifying properties, so they may also help keep you breathing easy while you work.

3. Soften the Space

A workspace doesn’t have to be all hard edges and sleek lines. You can easily add softness and comfort with a fabric window covering, cushions and throws to cozy up the space.

The aim is to make the space somewhere you’re happy to be in, so choose patterns and finishes that will encourage you to undertake your mini commute from kitchen to office in a positive frame of mind.

4. Coordinate Your Files

A messy office overflowing with paper isn’t going to inspire you to buckle down, so invest in new file boxes to keep everything looking good.

Choose a bright color or go for white, black or brown file boxes for a classic look.

5. Brighten the Room With a Rug

White can be calm and non-distracting in a working environment, but it can also look a bit sterile and cold.

By laying down a patterned rug, you can alter the feel of the space.

6. Paint the Desk

Do you have an unloved pine desk or a boring white work surface? Get out the color charts and choose a cheery hue to inject some creative flair into your workspace.

Specialty paints can be used on laminated or varnished surfaces. This bubble gum pink would certainly liven up a session poring over spending forecasts and spreadsheets.

7. Put Up a Corkboard

Here’s a quick fix that checks off the all-important practicality box, as well as tapping into the 1970s revival vibe. How about adding a cork wall or corkboard to your office space?

You can use the corkboard to pin up memos, lists, notes and art, and clear valuable space on your desk.
