Home offices are becoming more and more popular as many employees are finding ways to work from home, at least part-time. Even if you work in a business office every day,  it’s obvious that it’s important to have a space dedicated to your work so you can stay focused and on task. If you don’t, NOW is the time to do it. October 4th is Improve Your Office Day. Whether you have an office away from home, or in your home, you can make a few changes to help improve it.

Dedicate Space

Depending on the space of your office, you may want to create nooks and spaces to accomplish certain tasks. If you work from home doing a trade like quilting, building or crafting, you may need a work desk dedicated to your supplies, tools, and space to work. You’ll also want to have a desk where you can do your office work like taxes, billing, shipping etc. Think through your business operations and create a space that does what you need. If you’re a writer, you may need to create places that inspire creativity. A quiet nook for writing, a desk where you get focused, and bookshelves to keep your reading materials. It’s time to make your space what you need it to be!

Add Accessories

Accessories can always make your space feel complete. Whether you want to add artwork to the walls or candles to the bookcase, you can really bring a space together with the accessories that you add. At John Elliott Interiors, we have a showroom filled with home accessories at the Lake of the Ozarks. Come walk through our beautiful facility and see where inspiration takes you! You can certainly improve your space even with a small statue!

Keep It Green

Let’s be honest here. Having a real plant in your office is a great idea, but you are a busy person! You have the payroll to complete, paperwork shuffling through your office on a regular basis, phone calls to answer, and customers to help. Next thing you know, your poor plant has died and you have to start all over - unless you have a faux plant! John Elliott Interiors have hundreds of plants from tall trees to small centerpieces. None have to be watered, and they will ALWAYS stay beautiful. Come take a look!

Let There Be Light!

Lamps are a great way to improve your office space. Adding light to your office space can make it feel larger and more inviting. Even just a simple lamp in the corner of the room with a plant can improve your office space drastically. We have a large selection of beautiful lamps at the Lake of the Ozarks, from small table lamps to larger floor lamps. Come take a look.
