Over the years, we have realized how important it is for our environments to be tailored for us. The home, in particular, has become a workspace, often improvised at the last minute, and a source of constant distraction.
How many times have you found yourself working on the
sofa with the wool blanket and the cat on your lap? At lunchtime, while you're
immersed in a call, you can see your partner preparing the pasta in the
background, right? The hammock in the garden seemed like the perfect solution
for working in the humid summer heat, but did your 10-minute break magically
turn into a mid-afternoon nap? If the answer is yes, this article is dedicated
to you.
Remember: every space is suitable for smart work. if and
only if it is a well-designed space.
Whether you just need a computer and a hot cup of coffee,
or a comfortable study corner where you can also receive hypothetical clients,
it is good to take some care when setting up your home office... Functionality
and aesthetics must always be in harmony! dialogue!
THE FIRST QUESTION IS WHERE TO PUT THE DESKTOP
From the living room to the kitchen, from the bedroom to
the hallway, there is no privileged place for a workplace, the important thing
is that you can enjoy natural light for a good part of the day. Remember: Never
put yourself in the backlight!
Choose a compact but functional desk. The ideal work
surface should be at least 120 cm long and 60 cm deep.
Take a look at our new First Desk. With its minimalist
design and small size, it is easy to clean and keep tidy (thanks to its
innovative accessories, tidying up becomes a pleasure).
If you are one of those who tend to spread out over all
available surfaces, don't worry, we've also thought of you: our Evolution Desk
is ideal! Available in various sizes and finishes, you can even turn it into a
peninsula to your liking!
THE POSITION OF THE COMPUTER SCREEN IS IMPORTANT
The computer monitor must be placed in a frontal position
at a distance of never less than 50 cm. However, for laptops, it is recommended
to use a stand, such as the Riki PC Stand, to raise the screen to head height.
Adjust the screen so that the center of the screen is at eye level to prevent
your chin from falling into an unnatural position, which could cause neck and
lower back swelling
ORDER IS SYNONYMOUS WITH CONCENTRATION: HOW TO HIDE PLUGS
AND CABLES Another issue that should not be underestimated are plugs, which are
unsightly and difficult to hide… Wouldn't you want to work in an office full of
messy cables? Don't worry, our First Desk also comes with an innovative cable
grommet that will make you forget about cables and give your home office a new
look.
THE SEAT SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE
The chair, in addition to being a piece of furniture, has
the important function of supporting the body throughout the working day, so it
must be chosen with great care and prudence.
Today's modern chairs are not recommended for those who
need to sit at their desks for long hours at a time: opt for an ergonomic seat,
with a supportive backrest that can be adjusted. If you do not want to give up
design, but also the well-being of your back, we recommend our Nordic-style
Clara chair: original, comfortable, and functional, it will give an extra touch
to your study corner, without harming your health.
THE KEYWORD IS ALWAYS 'OPTIMIZATION'
It's easy to create a mess when working. To prevent chaos
from taking over you, use every inch of the walls around you, especially
vertically. The wall in front of your desk, which is usually oppressive and
sad, can be used with Shelves of different sizes and heights… Be as creative as
you can and create a personalized environment according to your needs!
For example, our cubes with doors, thanks to their closed
doors, will always keep your office immaculate. By being able to use them both
vertically and horizontally, you will have the possibility to create a unique
and extremely functional composition.
A little advice about the color of the walls: it is well
known that colors can have a great impact on our mood. A carefully selected
color can have an extremely positive psychological effect, just as the wrong
color can make us feel extremely negative emotions… Choose the color of your
workspace carefully!
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO OPT FOR ELABORATED SHELVES, JUST
THE OPPOSITE
Bookcases are very important pieces of furniture, not
only because they add style and character to the room, but also because they
increase the storage space in your study corner.
The first misconception is that they are supposed to be
elaborate and decorated: they don't have to be that way. A bookcase with clean
lines and a simple finish, like our double-sided Rachele, maybe the best
solution for you. It can be used as a normal wall shelf or as a divider, its
installation is very easy and it will become in no time a brilliant solution to
divide the spaces of your room, as well as to organize your office accessories
in the best way. The two central panels, in addition to giving stability to the
structure, create a visual game of full and empty spaces that will make the
environment fine-tuned... Try it to believe it!
We hope this article has inspired you to create your own
smart work happy corner!
