The way you set up your home office can either contribute to the success of your home-based business or make it difficult to accomplish anything.
The colors you use in the office can either promote productivity or make you restless and uncomfortable.
The organization of your home office will also determine whether all that you need for success is on hand or whether you need to search for everything you need.
Think About Color When Decorating Your Home-based Business Office The color of an environment has been proven to either harm productivity or contribute to it.
The more productive you are, the more successful you will be at your home-based business and it is therefore important to choose the color of your environment carefully.
Studies have shown that the best colors to use are a soft blue-green with soft red, separated by wainscoting.
If you prefer you could also choose just blue-green or red (blue-green if you battle to block out your surroundings or red if you find it easy to block out your surroundings).
Keep Your Home Office Organized Another important key for home-based business success is to stay organized.
Have a place for everything and keep everything in its place.
Try to keep as little on your desk as possible as this will give you more freedom to work and ensure that you can easily get hold of the things that you need.
Have a Comfortable Desk and Chair If your home-based business is primarily focused around your desk then you should also ensure that you have a comfortable desk and chair.
Large exercise balls are also often recommended instead of chairs, particularly if you suffer from back problems.
Your desk should be able to comfortably accommodate you while not being too big that you feel lost behind it.
The environment in which you work is a key to your home-based business success.
You should look at elements such as the color of your home office, how organized you are and also how comfortable your desk and chair are if you are going to be spending long periods at it.
