Separate your Spaces: Creating a True Work Area with your Home Office Decor
By Arthur Sneddon

The Best Decision you have ever made

You've decided to quite your day job, become you own boss, and work from the comfort of your own home. In order to be successful, you must be able to perform – with no distractions. This can be accomplished in your home office by sticking to some important elements when choosing your home office décor

First Things First – Less is More When it Comes to Furnishing a Home Office

A major factor in a successful work from home operation lies in your home office décor -or lack there of. You can't have so much going on around you that your mind drifts from the tasks at hand, but it can't be so sparse that it makes your space unwelcome. Keep in mind that this is the room where you are going to earn your living, so you want it conducive to quality performance. That translates to a room that is not sterile, but not overly comfortable either. There are certain things you need and there are ways to make them appealing without being distracting.

Begin with a simple desk – simple meaning no shelves, since shelves are for knick knacks which have no place in your home office décor. The large flat top will provide plenty of room for your computer, your phone and one or two small personal effects. Your chair should be comfortable, but not too comfortable. You won't have a neighboring coworker to nudge you if you happen to doze off. A bookshelf is an essential piece of décor for your home office. Load it up with reference materials pertaining to your line of work, and save one shelf for some inspirational pieces to turn to on days where you need an extra dose of motivation.

Making it Your Own

There is any number of special touches you can add to your home office décor that will show your personal style without infringing on your workplace atmosphere. Bold, artistic clocks are an acceptable accessory that is nice to look at, but won't hypnotize you and waste your precious time. You can also add a touch of yourself with a few simple black frames showing your diploma, or various degrees or awards that you are proud of.

If you follow these few simple thoughts on sensible decor for your home office, you will undoubtedly set your right foot on the path to success in your new home business venture.
