Bedroom Office Ideas in a Work From Home Setup

3. Add Some Fresh Greenery

A few plants or flowers help liven up any space. If you’re new to gardening, opt for a plant that’s easy to grow, such as a snake plant or pothos.

Plants are exceedingly good for your health, and research shows that interacting with plants reduces physical and mental stress throughout the workday.

Whether you go for the real thing in an office plant that you will actually have to look after, or if you decide on a fake office plant will depend on how you feel about looking after a real plant.

Giving it some food and water at least once or twice a week should be quite easy to do. You can always invest in a plant feeder to do this for you.

A real plant comes with added benefits of providing fresh air into the room, and one with a scent could give even more added value.

4. Cozy Up With a Rug

A plush rug instantly makes any space feel more inviting. The warm texture beneath your feet is a comforting stress relief while you work. Rugs also help separate your room into distinctive spaces.

You can center your office area on one rug and your bed on another to make the zones feel more separate.

5. Use Breezy Curtains

Curtains are decorative as well as functional, but steer clear of light-blocking drapes. While these are great for sleeping soundly, you need something airier while you work. A light cotton-gauze fabric lets light into the room while adding to the cozy feel of the space.

If you need total darkness to sleep, consider using a dual curtain rod and two separate sets of drapes for day and nighttime use. You can also consider combining curtains with blinds. In this way, you can control the amount of light you need during the day.

6. Showcase Your Favorite Collectibles

There are a lot of perks when you’re working from home. You can decorate your space however you like. If you have a hobby or collection, why not show it off?

Add a bookshelf or wall shelf and display the things you treasure most. It’s bound to boost your spirits throughout the day.

7. Stow Away Office Equipment and Clutter

Printers, cords, and other clutter are visually unappealing — but necessary. You can quickly access these items by storing them out of sight in easy-to-reach places.

For example, use a desk drawer to hide your printer or a basket with a lid for cords. Look for desk organization tools like pen holders and drawer organizers to sort sticky pads, pens, and other items. There are plenty of attractive options available that blend with your decor rather than stand out.

8. Add Good Quality Lighting

Natural light is always the best option, but lamps and candles add a cozy atmosphere to any space. Consider a hanging lamp over your desk or a few candles scattered throughout the room. They’ll help you see better while also making the space feel more inviting.

9. Get Creative With Artwork

It’s important to decorate your space, so it’s a better reflection of your own personality. Artwork is one of the easiest ways to make your bedroom office feel like home. You don’t need to spend a ton of cash, though.

Browse your local flea markets and antique shops for art that speak to you personally. There are plenty of small shops online that specialize in inexpensive custom artwork too. If you have a bit of talent yourself, consider creating your own art.

10. Curl Up With a Blanket

There’s no rule about blankets when you work from home. You can curl up in your desk chair with a plush throw and do your work in total comfort.

Look for an oversized option that matches your bedding. You can fold it across the end of your bed when you’re done with work for the day.

Final Thoughts

If you incorporate a few of these ideas into your bedroom office design, you’ll feel cozy throughout the workday (and night). Just make sure you don’t get too comfortable or you may fall asleep on the job.
