How to organise your office space for the new school year?

The question of workspace is more topical than ever. With the evolution of our lifestyle and the way we work, it is better to create a space dedicated to work so that it is practical and aesthetic. Whether you work from home, or only use your office for administrative purposes, your office space should be designed for the way you will use it. You will not equip your office in the same way.

Your office space can be anywhere: in the living room, in your bedroom, it can even have its own dedicated room. Even if the ideal is to have a room for your office, you can be just as concentrated in your living room as in your bedroom. To do this, follow our little tips below!

No matter where your office is located, install it in a quiet place, where you will potentially be the least disturbed. And of course, away from the TV or a gathering place like the sofa to avoid distractions. Orient your desk so that it has good natural light. Avoid dark corners, and in particular having your back to the window to avoid any reflections that might come onto your screen.

As for the layout of your desk, think about how much storage space you will need. This will help you decide whether you want a straight or a corner desk. If you need a lot of storage space, avoid putting your desk in the corner of a room where you can't add extra furniture. Otherwise, you'll have to put the furniture slightly further away, and it won't be practical to go back and forth to file.

If you've opted for the 'office in my living room' option, consider marking out your workspace with a nice wallpaper or paint, which will help you create a certain working atmosphere. This will help you concentrate and you will no longer feel as if you are in your living room.

Like any piece of furniture you buy for your home, it is more than necessary to choose your desk according to the space you have. You don't want to buy a desk when you don't have the space. The space of the room where you place your desk will also determine whether you choose a desk with or without storage. Here are some tips on how to choose the right one for you!

First of all, think about the material you are going to choose. Solid wood is a perfect material for a desk. Wood is very durable and will last for years. Elegant, it will bring a natural touch to your interior, and will blend in perfectly with all interior styles. You could say that solid wood is a must have for your interior!

As for the type of desk to choose, there is a model that is perfect for small spaces: the retractable desk. Hanging or retractable, they will save you a lot of space! Then there are straight desks and corner desks. Straight desks take up less space and can be placed anywhere in your home. Corner desks are modular and ergonomic, allowing you to have everything in one place without necessarily adding extra storage. This type of desk is very functional.

Unlike other rooms in your home, the office area doesn't need so much decoration.
Indeed, the secret is to limit the decoration to avoid having an overloaded work space and eliminate any distraction. However, you can opt for posters with positive mantras that will motivate you to work, or a cork stand to pin a few words on.

The most important thing in an office area is the lighting. Seeing well is important to save you from visual discomfort. Even if you have placed your desk in a nice, bright space, there's nothing to stop you from adding some good light with a desk lamp, for anyone who tends to finish work late, and for those long winter days.

Next, think about the storage furniture you'll need to add. No matter what you're going to put in it, whether it's a filing cabinet for administrative papers or a folder for business files, you'll eventually find something that suits you in terms of storage: a simple wall shelf, a pedestal under your desk, a small bookcase or a larger shelf.

Finally... The seat! This is just as important as the rest. Choose an armchair or chair that will provide the necessary comfort. Some people prefer a soft armchair, while others opt for a straight back. Everyone has their own preferences! As long as you are comfortable in your office space and can sit there for hours without any problems.
