Smart working: how to adapt your home to the office

In this period where we all have to stay at home, work can be carried on thanks to smart working. Certainly a necessity for many, for others it could be an opportunity to start a new lifestyle. Mail, chat, sharing programs, webcams and other digital tools are the means by which this mechanism can proceed.


But how do you organize to create a fixed station dedicated to smart working inside your apartment?


The first thing to understand is if you have the possibility to create a definitive workstation equipped with a desk, office chair and PC, placed on a stable plan, or if you must instead create a temporary workstation to be set up in the morning and dismantled at the end day. The first situation can be possible - obviously - only if you have available an unused room such as the guest room, to be transformed into an office. In the second case it is a question of cutting out a corner used as a workstation, perhaps on the dining table or on a shelf in the kitchen. Even a folding table to close and store in a closet at the end of the day can be a good solution for a temporary corner, and it helps you more easily to get away from work and feel at home again.

Either way, a very important element is the chair. In fact, his choice must be made very carefully as you will spend several hours there. There are several office chairs with ergonomic backrest available on the market that manage to connect very well with the style of the furniture. Finally, lighting. This aspect is also very important, as the right light on the workstation helps to keep concentration high. It is therefore recommended, in addition to adjusting the natural light coming from the window, to have a ceiling light and a light point on the desk.

A few simple rules, therefore. For productive smart working within the home.
