How to Make Your Office Cubicle A Home Away from Home

If you are like most, you likely spend more time at your office cubicle than you spend at home. If you are spending so much time at your office, it might be time to start making an effort to make your office cubicle much more comforting. In fact, there are various things that you can do to make it feel like your home away from home. In this article, we will be going over some of the top tips that you can effectively implement to make your office cubicle much more comforting.

Your Chair

One of the best things that you can do to improve your office cubicle is to spend a good amount of money on your office chair. You want to have the most comfortable chair possible in order to make your entire office much better overall. Without making a proper investment in a comfortable and ergonomic chair, your entire cubicle experience is going to be much worse overall. Your chair is going to impact your entire working environment. Therefore, you want to make the proper investment in your office furniture, including a good chair and you want to be sure that your chair is suitable for a comfortable working environment.

Hang Artwork and Pictures

One of the best ways to make your office cubicle look and feel much more like home would be to make your walls feel lively and avoid leaving them bare. Having bare cubicle walls is going to end up causing your office to feel much more like a prison rather than home. Whether its pictures of your family, things you like, or simple artwork. This is a great way to really spice things up and make you feel much more ‘at home’ within your office. If you are someone that enjoys sports, you can decorate with sports memorabilia. Whereas, if you are someone that is in tune with popular culture, you might be able to find artwork that displays your interest.

Get Organized

In order to feel comfortable, you are likely going to want to make sure that you are as organized as possible. Being organized is going to make everything much more comfortable for yourself and it is going to make you feel much more ‘at home.’ The best way to ensure that you are as organized as possible is by investing in various organizational tools that you can utilize in your cubicle. You want to invest in things that can help you maintain a proper organization to keep clutter from ruining your space.

Whiteboard

Instead of filling up your cubicle walls and desk with Post-It notes, you are going to want to think of a much more efficient and effective solution. A Dry-Erase whiteboard is one of the best tools that you can use to effectively minimize the clutter that comes with Post-It notes. By using a whiteboard, you are going to be able to create a schedule and really post daily notes without having a bunch of pieces of paper cluttering up your workspace. You likely don’t have a bunch of pieces of paper scattered throughout your home. Therefore, you shouldn’t at your office either. A whiteboard investment can really clean things up for your cubicle which is likely short on space as it is.

Proper Lighting

When you are looking to make your cubicle as comforting as possible, you are going to want to be sure that you have access to comforting lighting. Having proper lighting is going to be crucial to being able to make your office feel much more inviting and comforting. You should have lighting that is soothing and that cultivates a comfortable ambiance.

Overall, there is a lot that can be done to improve your cubicle’s office environment. By following the tips above, you should be able to enhance your entire experience, make things much more comfortable, and really create a comfortable environment to work in on a daily basis. Creating a comforting home away from home doesn’t have to be too expensive. Simply tweaks and investments here and there and you should be able to create a space that you want to be in for long periods of time.
