Decoration tips for your home office

Lately, we have been hearing and reading a lot about decorating our workspaces with plants; not only to improve the quality of the air in the office but also to improve our mood and enhance the appearance of our workspaces, whether it is a small desk or a large office.

The health benefits of surrounding ourselves with plants and the right décor are endless, because, after all, we spend most of our day at work and much of it sitting at our desks.

So, whether you work from home all the time or occasionally go to an office while remote working on other days, here are some ideas on how you can decorate your workspace to improve your mood and create a harmonious place full of good energy.

Home office + 1-day office, the most widespread option
If you work in a private office, it is likely that in the last few months you have had to telecommute, so your situation will probably force you to create an improvised home office.

The best way to do this is to look for natural light. So, move closer to the window to place your desk. On the other hand, take advantage of the walls and shelves to place plants that purify the air in the room.

We recommend using plant stands to optimize space. Plant stands are definitely one of the best solutions for "home offices", as they are not simple pots. Their design contributes to improving the overall appearance of each space and ties in with the furniture. However, chances are that your desk is the best surface to place a plant or two, or three ... or simply place a large plant or a collection of small succulent plants.

A terrarium is also a beautiful option for decorating your desk with plants. Terrariums combine the beauty of the plants with the beauty of the container, which often has decorative layers. Thus, a terrarium is more than just a plant in a pot, it is a composition that fits very well with office furniture.

The perfect plants for your workspace
Now that you have a better idea of what you can do to beautify your desk and provide daily inspiration even at work, it is important to assess which plants are best suited to your workspace and its needs.

Of course, lighting is the first thing to consider when choosing the right plant for your space; however, the maintenance and level of care you need to provide for these plants also play an important role in this choice.

Choose plants that fill dark corners, add greenery to shelves and play with ceramic planters, which will add a warm touch to your home office. Opt for plants that are easy to maintain and undemanding in terms of care.

Plants are an easy way to brighten up your desk and make you feel accomplished every day ("Did I water it today? Yes?"). And they have a bonus: some types of plants can purify the air in your office. And we repeat: if you don't think your gardening skills are up to it, try a low-maintenance plant variety, such as succulents.
