As for the designs, choose the ergonomics ones so they are still comfortable for your body to sit on for hours.
Choose the concept you love
Every individual may have different preferences when it comes to interior design and decoration. Unlike at the office where workspace has been decided by the company, you can create more preferable workspace yourself. You may consider minimalist concept that is typically less-cluttered with simplicity as dominant aspect. For this concept, you need neutral colors combination and furniture with earth tone. Adding ornamental plants can make the room more lively and enjoyable.
Modern setting
You can also create a workspace that adopt modern concept. For this, you will need standing desk. Choose the one that is adjustable so you can use it while standing or sitting as needed. Choose simple chair that is ergonomic and functional. You can create this kind of workspace with an open space concept. Hence, you don’t really need specific space to arrange it.
Try bolder concept
You may also want to add boldness to your workspace. You can do it by creating workspace with bolder concept. It can be seen by the choice of colors, furniture, patterns, and textures you prefer. You can create a workspace that is contrast with your home interior design in general. For example, your home uses minimalist concept with neutral colors as dominant palette. In contrast, create workspace with total opposite in the concept by opting for bolder color palette. It makes your workspace look more striking. It also gives the impression of high spirit and lively vibes. This concept-clash is suitable for you who like to show your unique self as well.
