Hey there, Park Wilshire community!

Let’s talk about working from home, something that’s become a big part of our lives! With our beautiful apartments as your backdrop, setting up a productive and stylish home office can be a breeze. We’ve got some fun and practical tips to help you create your perfect workspace.

 

1. Find Your Nook

First things first, find the perfect spot in your apartment for your home office. It doesn’t have to be an entire room, a cozy corner with good lighting and a bit of peace and quiet will do. Maybe that sunny spot near the window? It’ll be perfect for those mid-afternoon inspiration boosts!

 

2. Desk Delight

Your desk will be the main attribute of your home office. Opt for something that fits your style and space. A sleek, minimalist desk can keep things clutter-free, or go for a vintage piece that adds character. If you’re tight on space, you might consider investing in a wall-mounted desk or a fold-out option.

 

3. Comfy Chair

Invest in a good chair! You’re going to be spending a lot of time in it, so you’ll want to make sure that it’s comfortable and supportive. An ergonomic chair can prevent those dreaded back and neck pains. Or, a stylish chair can be a fun way to add some personality to your space.

 

4. Light It Up

Lighting is key to a productive workspace. Natural light is your best friend, but a good desk lamp is essential for those late-night work sessions. Try to aim for a lamp with a dimmer switch, as well as an adjustable arm, so you can direct the light exactly where you need it. 

 

5. Keep It Organized

Clutter in your workspace can be a major productivity killer. Use organizers, trays, and shelves to keep your desk and workspace tidy. A magnetic white board or a bulletin board can be a great way to keep important notes and inspirational quotes within sight.

 

6. Personal Touches

Your home office should reflect your personality. Maybe add a few plants for a touch of greenery (they can also improve air quality!), hang up artwork that inspires you, or set up some framed photos of your loved ones. These personal touches can make your workspace feel more inviting and uniquely yours.

 

7. Tech Savvy

Make sure your tech setup is on point. A good Wi-Fi connection, a reliable laptop, and any other tools specific to your work are all essential for a productive workspace. Don’t forget about finding a way to keep all of your cords under control with some clever solutions like clips and sleeves.

 

8. Take Breaks

Remember, working from home doesn’t mean you have to be chained to your desk, so take a few much needed breaks! Stretch, go for a walk, or enjoy the amenities that Park Wilshire has to offer. A quick break from sitting at your desk can recharge your mind and boost your productivity.

 

9. Set Boundaries

It’s important to create a mental boundary between work and home life. When you’re done for the day, tidy up your workspace and switch off your computer and your work brain. No need to stress about work until you’re back on the clock. Hopefully this will help you maintain a healthy work-life balance.

 

10. Stay Connected

Lastly, stay connected with your friends and your community. Sometimes working from home can feel isolating, so take advantage of grabbing lunch with a friend and even attending virtual or in-person events in your area. Find a few ways to stay social and meet some new friends!

We hope these tips help you create a workspace that’s both productive and enjoyable. Remember, your home office is a reflection of you, so make it a space that you will love to be in. Here’s to productive days and comfortable nights in your Park Wilshire apartment!
