In today's work environment it is not uncommon for employers to have their employees working from home. In those instances it is of great importance that you have a comfortable and functioning work office at home.
We find people visiting our showroom that have just crammed a desk in a corner with a printer on the floor and using boxes for storage in the garage. That's a sure fire way to create a drain on your overall work performance. Even though you are at home, you can still create an environment that stimulates you to work and be productive.
Let's start with some of the basics, and keep in mind that Cal Bennetts is here to help you create the best home office imaginable.
Research has shown time and again that colors effect our psyche. When you have a stimulating work area your mood is better and your work productivity is as well. Different colors are for different things and according to the experts if your work is a lot of thinking and head type work then blue is your color. Orange can help blue to provide a bit of stimulant as well. You can have a shade of orange to your blue or simply add some orange accent to keep your mind active.
If you need calm and reassuring effect then go with a nice shade of green. Green's provide a calming and soothing effect, great for stressful jobs.
If you have an office in the backroom, garage or even in a basement you will want to make sure that you have a strong and reliable wi-fi signal. If possible the best location for your office is very close to where the modem or router will be located. It is often a good idea to have your ISP install the hardware and check it for speed to insure that you are able to work at 100% confidence that your signal will be there when you need it.
If your office is at home, it's a good bet that you will spend a lot of time there. Don't skimp on comfort and safety when choosing an office environment that you may be in for several hours per day. Find a great chair with great lumbar support and lots of height and reclining adjustments. Find the right desk, one that allows you to adjust the height and angle. Make sure there is the ability to adjust your monitor and keyboard as well. When choosing the right office furnishings, take the time to visit a local office furniture dealer and look and feel the products that suit your needs and your budget. Even if you spend a few extra bucks now, it will save you bundles down the road.
