Luxury Office

Bring in Nature: Spending long hours in an unnatural environment can be hazardous to your health. We are biological creatures and need to experience nature for the best in psychological and physiological functioning. Use as much of nature as you can such as:

Locating your office in a space with windows if possible. Consider nature photos to make your home office a more pleasurable place. Add real plants to have fresh oxygen in your workspace.

Create a Barrier: Home office business owners will understand the difficulty of separating the company from the family. It is vital to build a home office design supportive of your own personal productivity. The temptation of a quick television break or snack can result in lost productivity and extra inches around your waist. It is best to designate a separate room with a door or closed space in the house for your business.

Check Ergonomics: The study of ergonomics or human factors looks at the interface between humans and machines, or in our case, small business owners and the office. Improper office ergonomic design can have a huge impact on productivity, injury prevention, and health. Consider these quick ergonomic checks:

  • eyes 24-36 inches from computer screen and the top of your monitor should be below or at eye-level
  • feet should be on a foot rest or planted firmly on the floor
  • slightly reclined chair posture is best to reduce vertebrae pressure and minimize lower back pain
