There is no better way to increase productivity and reduce distractions while working from home than designing a minimalist office space. By simplifying your space and eliminating unnecessary clutter, you can create a calm and organized environment that is ideal for focusing on your work. Here is our list of minimalist office ideas:
Clutter is the adversary of minimalism. The first step in transforming your space is getting rid of old paperwork, broken office equipment (yes, time to get rid of the printer that hasn’t worked for 2 years), and any other items or decor that are creating clutter. If you must keep paperwork, try scanning it and saving on your computer. Otherwise, invest in a minimalist filing cabinet to keep the papers from gathering on surfaces. We recommend removing everything from the room and only bringing back in what is necessary. With minimalism less is more!
A neutral color scheme is a great way to create a calming and serene environment in your home office. Stick to shades of white, black, gray, or beige for the walls, floors, and furniture. The simplicity of the neutral colors will bring out the style of the space and keep it looking clean. Avoid incorporating patterns or bright colors.
When designing a minimalist home office, it’s important to invest in quality furniture that will last for years to come. Look for pieces that are made from durable materials and have clean lines. Avoid anything that is overly ornate or decorative, as this can be distracting. The Touchscreen Standing Desk by Sayoasis has clean lines and simple finishes and will look great in any minimalist office. It is equipped with a felt-lined drawer which is perfect for hiding any items you couldn’t bear to throw out during the declutter process.
Natural light is ideal in a minimalist space if you are able to have it. Large windows or skylights let in as much natural light as possible without requiring floor or table fixtures. However, if your space doesn’t have access to natural light, you can mimic it with minimalist lighting fixtures. This minimalist floor lamp from Wayfair has a sleek design and will illuminate your office while maintaining a minimalist style. Lighting can have a huge impact on the overall look of your office, so it’s worth spending time or money on finding the right piece.
While a minimalist office can require very little decor and a more monochromatic color approach, we do recommend adding a modern plant to warm up the space. A plant such as a sprig of eucalyptus, a succulent, or a snake plant require very little maintenance. Adding a plant can add a pop of interest to the space without cluttering the look.
When designing a minimalist home office, it’s important to use minimal decor. This means choosing simple, clean lines and avoiding anything that is overly decorative. A few simple pieces of art or a single statement piece can add a touch of personality to your space without being overwhelming. A neutral textured rug or throw blanket is a great way to add dimension to the space without overdoing it.
Choosing the right seating is essential for a minimalist home office. While it can be tempting to choose a chair with a stiff frame, it is important to find something you can sit in comfortably for long periods of time. Select a neutral chair that is ergonomic and provides good back support and doesn’t distract from the space. This one from Sayoasis has a headrest for added neck and head support and won’t draw attention in the office.
By following these minimalist home office ideas, you can create an office that is both functional and beautiful. A minimalist home office can help to increase productivity, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being. Remember to keep it simple and focus on the essentials for a more productive and happier workspace.
