Design Home Offices that transition from Work to Weekend
The pandemic has brought the world into our homes converting it into a professional and leisurely family space, all at once and amidst this lockdown since traveling across borders has become nearly impossible, finding a mini getaway on the weekends is the ideal 2020 escape.
But what if we said this mini escape was possible right from the comfort of your home?
Risking your and your loved one’s health even if it’s just for the weekend, is not worth being trapped under the treacherous shackles of COVID. So sit back and convert your homes from workstations to weekend getaways, all with the click of a few buttons.
Here are 3 simple ways by which you can transform your WFM (Work From Home) space into a Weekend At Home staycation:
Nature is a man’s best friend
The image formed when thinking of a weekend home roots from the existence of nature. It evokes a feeling of freshness and the desire to rejuvenate from the monotonous work-week life.
Incorporating breathable walls or designs in any shape or size will liven up the environment of the space. Not only will the presence of greenery increase the level of productivity during working hours but will also quite literally be the life of the party during the weekends. They release a sense of sophistication into the air and summon up to be the perfect element to convert any home office into a weekend getaway by stepping into nature’s paradise.
Another way to incorporate the subtlety of nature into workspaces is through portable house plants. You can convert an office desk covered with paperweights, documents, and laptops into a luxurious serving table on the weekends within a matter of seconds by placing a combination of various shapes and sizes of house plants in an orderly fashion. Not only will they successfully transform the professional space into a leisurely space but will also lift up spirits and moods, one glance at a time.
Be it a party or a time off from work during the weekends, nature is truly a man’s best friend when it comes to transforming a space.
A pop of colour, a dash of productivity and paradise
It is no secret that art can convert one’s mood in the most natural ways possible and require minimal to almost no additional effort. Whether you’re feeling down during work and have a longing need to take a break during the weekend or whether you want to add the element of elegance and poise, a burst of colors will do the trick for you. In fact, it has been scientifically proven that adding colour to a space can increase productivity by almost 20% and be equally aesthetically pleasing to the eye, taking one on an imaginary virtual trip to paradise.
The colors you should incorporate that will perfectly go with the vibe of a workstation and staycation are:
Blue: Stimulates the mind
Red/Orange: Evokes energy levels in the body
Green: The colour of calmness, reassurance and money
