The home office has become one of the most important rooms in any house. Whether you have always been a remote worker or you are new to the idea of working from home, you are going to want to carve out a space that allows you to feel both productive and relaxed.
As you set up your home office, consider some of these DIY decor ideas:
You likely have a desk that is filled with scattered sticky notes and to-do lists. To keep organized and maintain a clean office, you can create a note board that sits on the wall and allows you to post your most important reminders and action items. You can use an old piece of bulletin board, and cover it with a favorite fabric that complements the theme of your home office. To finish the piece, you can attach buttons, gems or metal grommets as an accent.
Most people like to keep a box of tissues on their desk, but it may feel clunky or unseemly to have an opened cardboard tissue box sitting there. To dress up this necessary toiletry, you can paint an old Mason jar to match the color scheme in your room. Simply slice a small slit in the top of the jar lid, cover sharp edges with some form of tape to avoid injury or tissue tears and store tissue inside it.
For a simple yet fun project for your home office, consider creating your own desktop dry-erase board. This project requires you to get an old picture frame that can be given new life. You may want to paint the frame if it's wooden or add decorative accents to it if it is a metal frame. Then, find a piece of patterned scrapbook paper to place inside the frame. Once your project is done, you can easily write notes, reminders and to-do lists on the glass and erase it when you complete the task.
You can create a custom pot for your favorite office plant. Simply take a terracotta pot and paint it according to your preference. You may want to consider sealing it to prevent the paint from chipping. Then, when your plant is ready for its new home, you can repot it in your one-of-a-kind creation.
Adding small and simple touches to your home office will allow you to feel like the space is truly yours. Many people report that they are more focused when they are working from home, particularly when they have a dedicated office space that they have customized to meet their own needs. These DIY projects for the home office can help you create a space that allows you to love what you do each day.
Hi, I'm Ronald Bixby and I'd love to assist you. Honor, Respect, and Integrity...These are qualities that were instilled in a small town in upstate NY and reaffirmed in the US Navy. I was raised in a town called Horseheads. After graduating High school, I decided to see the world and I went into the Navy. Although I wanted to see the world, I ended up joining the submarine force and unfortunately, they don't have too many windows on subs! After getting out of the Navy, I found myself with an opportunity to get into the restaurant business and that's where I spent the next 30 years. I am blessed with an amazing wife, who is my rock, 4 beautiful daughters, and a son... Parenthood has a way of keeping you on your toes! However, thinking that I was missing something, I decided to make a change and started exploring the Real Estate business, and the more I looked into it, the more I knew this was the right profession for me. I like to help people and assisting a family buy or sell a home is a fantastic opportunity to do just that. If I can make someone half as happy as I am...it's a great day. Let me help you be happy.
