The pandemic has changed our ways of living. The way we used to meet and greet, the way we used to vacay, and the way we used to work, all have been altered. People have started adjusting to the new normal. The professional work scenarios have also taken a turn after the pandemic and instead of going to offices, the new normal has created “work-from-home” an aspect of professional life. People now have to work online by sitting at home and communicating with others through online portals. This has increased the demand for workspace or working stations at home. If you are also working from home and have not yet designed a working station at your home, here we would suggest you get office fit-outs and establish a workspace at your home.
Select Place
Official work cannot be done while sitting in front of the TV or around kids. You have to select the best spot at your home to work where you can focus. Irrespective of the size of your house, you should opt for a spot that has the least distractions.
Get Furniture
A good table and a comfortable chair is the basic need of a working station. If you don’t have a proper computer table and office chair at your place, you need to get one as soon as possible because proper posture and a table with all official necessities is a must to have for office work.
Look for Lighting
Lighting is very important. Your working station should not be dark and dull to make you lazy and neither should be over-exposed to lights that disturb your screen image. Choose some suitable led lighting to give your workspace the appropriate amount of light that it requires. It is better to set your station near a window but never make your desk monitor’s screen face the window as it strains your eyes.
Set Your Station Near Power Supply
Your office table probably would have many switches to be plugged in, like laptop charger, lamp switch, speakers, mobile charger, and others. Instead of getting yourself confused with extension wires, it is better to place your table near some power supply.
A Good Network Connection
Since work from home is all about being online all the time, make sure you have a well-sorted network connection at home. Get your working station a dedicated router that offers you an internet connection with a sound bandwidth. This will help you stay up to date and always connected with your team.
Customize Your Corner
Setting an ambiance to your working station helps in generating your productivity. Just as you personalize your table in the office, also customize your table at your home workspace. Add some greenery to your table, keep a coffee mug aside, or attach sticky notes aside. A nicely done space can motivate you to do better and can engage you with your work.
