When it comes to working from home, sometimes a home office is essential. In this article, I will list tips and tricks that should have you being on top of your home office game in a jiffy. Not only do you want your home office to be a practical work space, but you also want it to be clean, organized, and up-to-date.

Step One to an Organized Home Office - Location:

The first thing you'll want to do when creating your home office is deciding where you want it to be. Do you want to use a corner of the living room? An area in the kitchen? Have an entire room dedicated to being your office?

If working from home is not a full-time job for you or if you have limited space, it is recommended that you just set up a desk area in a room like the living room or kitchen for your home office. But if you work from home a majority of the time or all the time, it is recommended that you use a room apart from everything else. That way, you can work in complete privacy and everyone will know that once you're in your work space, you shouldn't be bothered.

Step Two – Decoration:

The next thing you'll want to do is decide what furnishings you would like in your office. Try to think of what's essential to you and your business. Most essential items for a home office would probably be:

- A spacious desk

- A laptop or PC

- Shelves

- A comfortable chair

Most other things would be gratuitous decorative add-ons. These decorative add-ons are still important, however, because being in a space you love can relax you and increase your productivity. Just make sure that you don't invite in too much clutter and your decorations will be perfect.

One product that will help you to avoid clutter is the MonitorStand Workstation S6G/S6T. This is a large, modern, partitioned drawer that you can place your computer monitor on. It is designed to provide you with ample storage space which makes it easy to organize your home office essentials (i.e. pens, stationary, calendars) and decrease clutter. Other features of the MonitorStand Workstation include: a USB charging port, a variety of hanging accessories, and integrated UV sterilization.

Step Three – Lighting:

How you light your home office is very important. Not only do you want lighting that will give you plenty of assistance when you're working on tasks, but you also want lighting that gives atmosphere to the room. Plain, bright, fluorescent lighting would probably be too harsh and wouldn't put you in a calming mindset to be able to relax and enjoy doing your work. So take that into consideration when you're decorating your home office with lamps and other sources of light.

Step Four – Desk Chair:

I've already mentioned above about how essential a desk chair is to a home office, but you shouldn't settle on using any chair. If you work from home, you should probably anticipate spending hours at a time in your home office. That means spending hours at a time sitting in your desk chair. Knowing this, you would want to invest in a chair that's comfortable, the perfect height, and one that is easy on your back. Getting the right desk chair is very important when it comes to comfort and productivity.

Step Five – Storage:

I touched on storage space and the importance of minimizing clutter when I talked about the MonitorStand Workstation S6G/S6T above, but I am going to expand a bit more on the storage feature of that product here because storage is such an important part of keeping your home office organized and clean. The MonitorStand Workstation S6G/S6T is designed with the express purpose of keeping organization a number one priority. Not only does the large drawer I mentioned above allow you to keep office supplies neatly sectioned off and stored so that they don't clutter up your desk, but this product's other features allow you to store many things in one area. The USB port allows you to charge your phone without having to even leave your seat, the sterilization station allows you to keep your keyboard clean and sanitized, and the hanging accessory feature allows you to keep pens, pencils, and other necessities right to the side of your monitor where you won't lose them. The multiple storage uses of this product causes it to be a necessary staple item when you're thinking of items to purchase for your home office.

Another storage item that would be very handy and would decrease clutter would be a bookshelf. If it's a bookshelf that you can mount on your wall, that would be a plus. And this leads me to the next step.

Step Six – Wall Mounting

For a sleek and organized home office, keeping office supplies off of your work surface areas and the floor keeps your home office clean and uncluttered. Mounting shelves above your desk allows you to put books, paper, and other important supplies in a place separate from your desk. This allows you to keep your desk free of too many items, and it also allows you to organize your things more neatly on the shelves. Not only that, but it also frees up floor space.

Keep your home office organized with these six steps.
