HOME + GARDEN
ADD A NATURAL CONNECTION Biophilic design continues to be big news and it’ s especially welcome in workspaces where we crave calm and focus. Bringing the outdoors in, whether through large leafy plants, natural wood furniture or even a view of the garden, is proven to reduce stress and boost productivity, and is a trend that feels particularly at home in the Garden of England!
INCLUDE ARTFUL ACCENTS Home offices are a great place to express your personality. Statement art pieces, vintage finds, sculptural lighting and colourful rugs can easily transform a purely practical zone into a room you genuinely love- making your entire working day a little more enjoyable, too.
HARLOW SOFA, FURNITURE AND CHOICE
PRIORITISE SOUND SENSE With more video meetings and phone calls happening daily, acoustic comfort is a growing priority. Soft furnishings, rugs, upholstered walls and even felt light fittings help absorb sound, creating a quieter, more pleasant workspace- which is particularly crucial in open-plan or busy homes.
SET UP A ZOOM CORNER Not every home has space for a separate office. Enter the‘ Zoom corner’. A styled backdrop- perhaps a small console table, a framed print and a slim lamp- can carve out a professional setting in any room. It’ s a lifesaver for those who want to keep work out of sight but still look polished on camera and avoids the dreaded virtual meeting backdrop!
