Transforming Your Workspace: How One Stager's Advice Helped Me Revamp My Home Office on a Budget

Revamping my Home Office without Breaking the Bank: Lessons Learned

Just like in many parts of the world, the pandemic has shaken things up, and one of the most significant changes has been in how we work. For the first time, many of us have had to set an office space at home, turning our living areas into work areas.

I took the plunge and set up an office space at home, but something wasn't right. After a few unproductive days, I took a few pictures, and I sent them to a friend who works as an interior designer. I've always found my friend's work simply amazing, but I never reached out to him for interior design services.

But after sharing the pictures of my work area, he offered some useful advice on changes to make. He gave me tips on how to rearrange the space and suggested some things that would make the area more conducive to productivity. Best of all, these changes wouldn't require me to spend a penny.

Here are a few of the things he suggested that I changed:

• Moving the desk away from the wall to give more breathing space and create the illusion of a bigger room
• Reducing the number of objects on the desk and shelves to declutter the space
• Creating designated areas for different tasks such as writing, reading, and research, making it easier to switch between tasks

After making these changes, I was impressed with the positive impact it had on my productivity. For a long time, I had been trying to brainstorm ways to improve my productivity, but it turns out that a simple rearrangement of my workspace was the answer.

In conclusion, I've learned that it's essential to take a step back and assess how my workspace caters to my needs. I realized that seeking advice from an expert in interior design could help me in myriad ways. And best of all, I didn't have to break the bank to improve my workspace and productivity levels.
