Not all of us are blessed with an extra room for a home office, but you can still work wonders on that corner of your living room, the length of your hallway or the space at the end of your bed. Try to choose a work spot by a window or glass-panelled doors for natural light.

While dining chairs can be sufficient, they are ultimately not designed to be sat on for long periods of time. Invest in an ergonomic office chair with good lumbar support and a well-padded seat, which swivels and has adjustment controls to adjust for the right height at your desk.

Streamline your work area by organising paperwork and documents in a discreet filing cabinet or cupboard that is tucked away under the desk.

Make the most of vertical wall space by choosing open bookshelves or floating shelves to store folders, binders and books within easy reach.

As with all areas of the home, the right ambience will help set the tone for the time you spend in your workspace. Indoor plants, aromatic candles, diffusers and room sprays work wonders to help energise your mind at the start of each workday and heighten productivity. The right scents can also stimulate your senses and get your creative juices flowing as you dream up big ideas.

A dull work zone that is devoid of colour and décor can leave you bored, uninspired and unmotivated. Avoid that “clinical” look by injecting some personality into the space. You can do this by sprucing up the wall with a few decorative pieces that you love to look at. Use a unique holder for your pens. You can also put up pictures of your loved ones or add a small plant or two.
