Balancing a Work From Home Studio

Working from home has widely spread across the world ever since the COVID-19 pandemic. People realised that their jobs do not require them to come to the office. This is when work from home studios gained popularity. 

Working from home is a privilege and an advantage not all can achieve. But if you have achieved this, and you now need to make space for a studio where you can work from, you need to plan it out properly. 

If you are working from home, working from your bed is not recommended. This should be quite an obvious piece of advice, since it will hinder your productivity. The same goes for every place of comfort you have established in your house like your couch, living room, dining table, etc. A proper table and chair is the best way you can achieve a productive day. 

A WFH studio does not necessarily need to be a whole room dedicated to a home office. It can be just a spot in your house that is not that used and is free from distractions. 

Find a safe spot:

When you’re looking for a place to work at your house, look for a spot with no distractions. A spot where you won’t need to keep telling yourself to concentrate. It could be the corner of your house or a guest room. Once you have found this spot, you can start to arrange it the way you want. 

Storage:

Ample storage is the key to having a clean and creative workspace. If you have enough storage it reduces the clutter around your work desk which helps you think better. Having storage also means that you can keep everything you need in reach of your workspace. 

Setup:

You’ve chosen your workspace, great! Now set it up. A good desk that you can feel comfortable enough to work at and an ergonomic chair is what you’ll need to be perfectly productive in your house. 

Get Creative:

Once you have set up your workspace completely, start to decorate it in a way that would exult creativity. Pictures of your dog or family or even motivational posters will do perfectly as motivators. Keep stationery that you would need around, your earphones or speaker in case you’re someone who works better listening to music. 

Conclusion: 

Crafting a functional work-from-home (WFH) studio demands careful consideration. While not accessible to all, those privileged to create such spaces must avoid working from comfort zones like beds and couches, favouring ergonomic furniture for productivity. WFH studios needn’t be entire rooms; quiet corners or underutilised areas suffice. Minimal distractions foster concentration. Adequate storage fosters a clutter-free ambiance, while personal touches and creative decor kindle inspiration. Crafted diligently, a WFH studio can catalyse both efficiency and innovation.
