Working from home has become routine for most Australians which is why optimising your home office space for comfort and functionality should be a priority. Incorporating smart home solutions, such as smart light products, is critical in allowing you to get the most out of your home office.

Create layered lighting

It’s much easier to get in the zone if you’re working in a well-lit home office. To get the right lighting effect for maximum productivity, create layered lighting.

A desk lamp for task lighting

For focused tasks, a desk lamp can effectively serve as a source of direct light. Make sure to position the task light opposite your dominant hand to prevent shadowing. 

A floor lamp for ambient lighting

Your desk shouldn’t be the only illuminated area in your office. With a floor lamp, you can give the surrounding space some lighting that can soften and scatter harsher lights. This will reduce the risks of eye fatigue, especially if you’re working mostly with monitors and screens. 

Improve ventilation

The air flow in your office contributes to how comfortable the space can be. If it’s too confined, with the air barely circulating, you may feel stifled and your productivity is likely to be halted. Bring in as much fresh air as possible; open the windows wide, or at least crack them open a little. Having a ceiling fan can be beneficial as well in facilitating better air flow. 

Go with smart plugs and switches

To completely take efficiency and ease of access to the next level, use smart plugs and switches to take control of your appliances and gadgets. With a single app on your phone, you can turn appliances on and off and regulate other functions. You won’t have to leave the room nor waste time toggling over multiple platforms for household management on top of your work.
