With the pandemic still in full swing, many Oklahoma residents are working from home. While remote working definitely has its own advantages, you do need to have the right workspace to be able to work efficiently.
Here are five ways you can give your home office in Oklahoma an upgrade.
Choose a Solid Color Scheme
Offices often tend to have neutral color palettes that give them a more formal (and boring) feel. With your home office, the walls are your canvas. You get to decide which colors you’d like your workspace to have, and this isn’t a decision to make lightly.

Meta: Are you planning on giving your home office an upgrade? This article shares a few cost-effective yet impactful changes you can make to make your home office cozier.
Think of which colors affect your mood positively. Blue and green typically have soothing effects, whereas orange, yellow, and red are considered to be colors that hype you and get you excited. What vibe do you want your home office to have? You can accent a wall with a solid color while keeping the remaining walls neutral. This will help you create a strong color palette that best impacts your mood.
Revamp Your Lighting
You’d be surprised to discover the impact lighting has on your productivity. Think about it; do you feel more energized when you’re working in a room lit up with fluorescent lighting, or do the “yellow” incandescent bulbs make you more productive? Similarly, does natural lighting help you focus more, or would you rather use artificial lighting even during the day?
Research has shown that natural light tends to boost productivity. Moreover, studies have also found that daylight makes people more relaxed and focused than fluorescent “white” lighting which can make the workspace looks dull.
For your home office, make sure you’re investing in the right type of lighting. Maximize natural lighting and position your work station in a way that you get plenty of sunlight. In case your office space doesn’t get a lot of sunlight, get a modern table lamp as well as hanging lights that will brighten up your room. You can also switch to a floor lamp during the evening for a change in ambiance.
Remember, a brightly lit home office is going to help you be more creative and work more efficiently. Make sure lighting is a major part of your home office redesign.
Personalize Your Space
It’s a home office. That should be reason enough to personalize your workspace and decorate it as per your unique preferences. The best way to do that is to incorporate décor elements that highlight your personal taste.
It’s important that you create an office space that brings you joy and actually motivates you to do your work. You want your home office to be a place you’ll not only feel at ease, but also enjoy spending time at. Think of your ideal workspace and what décor elements you can incorporate from that in your home office. Do you want a gallery wall displaying artwork or inspiring quotes? What personal items would you like to place on your desk to make it look more welcoming? Do you wish to include elements from your favorite music or television shows to the workspace?
This is your chance to create a workspace that truly represents you. Don’t hold back!
Add Some Greenery
Another thing you should consider when redesigning your home office is greenery. No, we’re not talking about a green color scheme. We’re referring to nature’s gift to home design: indoor plants.
Adding indoor plants in your home office will help breathe some life into the space. Not only will this add an aesthetic appeal to your workspace, but it’ll also help you be more productive. Plants detoxify the air and tend to have a calming effect. By including indoor plants in your home office, you’ll be creating a more comfortable work environment for yourself. You can add desk plants, hanging plants, or large planters at your convenience.
Add a New Steel Entry Door
Finally, don’t forget to add a sleek new steel entry door to your office. You can opt for a sliding door, wrought iron doors Newcastle or a swinging door for this. The latter is more commonly used for home offices and are popular interior door options. However, if you want to give your home office a whole new look, sliding steel doors are perfect for this purpose. They’re especially useful for home offices with smaller spaces and also allow in more daylight. Not to mention the aesthetic value sliding steel doors tend to add to any room they’re placed in.
