Home Decorating
(NC)—With people increasingly spending more time at home, the flexibility of a room's function is growing. One such room is the home office. While traditionally it provided space for personal activities, it is now rapidly becoming a professional work space as well. This is on-trend with the changing times and challenging economy as more and more people are beginning to work from home by necessity or choice.
Sue Rainville, director of marketing for Hunter Douglas, Canada's leading manufacturer of custom window fashions, offers the following tips on how to make the most of decorating when it comes to your home office:
Organization and Layout: Arrange the items in your office to fit a theme – be it subject matter, colour, size, etc. Place the items that you use most often in a highly visible and easy-to-access area of the room so that you can quickly get at them.
Minimize: Purchase items that serve multiple functions such as all-in-one printer/copier/scanner or a decorative table with drawers that can be used for both a file cabinet and a work space – all of which can be both a time and money saver.
Lighting and Equipment Protection: Good lighting is imperative in a home office. Particularly, constant exposure to harsh light and heat from the sun can damage expensive office equipment. Duette honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas are an ideal solution for controlling light with room-darkening fabrics that block over 99 percent of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. What's more, Duette shades, like many other Hunter Douglas products, are available with a Top-Down/Bottom-Up design option so that they can open from the top and stack at the bottom for privacy with light and a view.
Working from home can offer flexible hours, a convenient location and the opportunity to put your decorating sense to work as well.
