A huge part of our lives is work. Therefore, of course, work should bring satisfaction, should be to your liking.

And this depends not only on whether we like the work in progress or not, but also on whether our workplace is organized properly. This is what we’ll talk about.

Properly organizing your workplace is important not only for those who work in offices, but also for those who work at home. From work on the couch your back will quickly get tired, and the habit of working in a dressing gown will certainly not contribute to the emergence of fresh extraordinary ideas and a working mood.

Shelves hanging over the table, all kinds of furniture corners directed directly at you and a door directly behind you - it would be nice to get rid of all this by completing a redevelopment of your workspace. Let's make sure that working time is as fruitful as possible and brings joy and satisfaction.

Workplace

In home

The Chinese believe that in life there are no trifles. According to experts, the location of your desktop is very important. It is best to sit down so that your table is visible directly from the front door, but is located as far away from it as possible.
   In other words, try to place the desktop so that you see the front door (but not directly opposite it). If this is not possible, place a mirror in the field of view that reflects the entrance to the room or office.

You should not put the table on the same line between the door and the window opening - it will be like “blowing” out of the room all your plans, undertakings, new projects and profits

Also an important point: there should be no open passages behind your back, otherwise you run the risk of constantly feeling anxious.   In addition, it is better not to sit with your back to the window and door, so as not to provoke an outflow of energy and trouble.

If you are a beginner businessman, then ideally your desk should be oriented east.
   The northwest is a favorable direction for people with the makings of a leader, the southeast will attract the energies of creativity and creation, and the west will make your position reliable and stable.
   However, the southern direction should be avoided by all, without exception - it introduces disharmony, adds tension and enhances stress.

Try to avoid sharp corners pointing in your direction at the workplace.
   Make sure that your workplace is not blocked by any large objects, and even more so do not have to squeeze your desk in the gap between the cabinets. There should be no overhanging constructions above your head a la "Damocles sword" - this is a sure sign of illness or injury. All telephone and computer cables must be carefully removed for special panels - Feng Shui explains this by the fact that all visible tubes and wires mean an outflow of money.

The light next to the desktop should not be harsh or dim. It is good if the light flux is soft. This can be achieved using general light, as well as a desk lamp with an adjustable foot.

In the office

If you work in the office, then you do not always have the opportunity to choose a workplace yourself. But even in such a situation, you can take steps to rearrange it according to Feng Shui, for example, your desktop.

The table is an important element.
   Most of the working time passes at the table, so it should occupy the optimal position.
   If you are not working alone, it is strongly discouraged to place tables face to face with colleagues. This provokes a “division” of the territory and frequent conflicts.
   If the table is on a straight line between the windows and the entrance, be sure to try to change seats or deploy the table itself. If you are facing the wall, decide how to put it differently, or your path to new ideas and the forces for their realization will be blocked.
   Do not sit close to your window or face.
   The correct location of the window is on the side of the table. Do not get too close with the door or back to it. Better to diagonally.

Would you like to secure the support and understanding of your superiors? Arrange your table so that it faces the chef, even if he sits through a wall or even on another floor.
   Do not want to lose your job - do not sit in front of the opening mirrored or polished surfaces of cabinets and doors.

If your work involves money, you should avoid mirrors at the back, front, and sides of the table. If you still sit with your back to the window, and you can’t change it in any way, you must definitely hang the window with blinds or curtains.
   You can’t sit under the air conditioner - it “blows out” thoughts from the head and dissipates energy, and from the point of view of health it is not useful.
   Stairs near the desktop and even in sight should also be avoided.
   If the office door goes into a long common corridor - do not sit facing it. In general, try to stay away from such corridors. It is important that there is no corridor behind you. This is especially true for managers.

Create a positive attitude.
   Place slogans, inspirational objects, and sayings within sight. For example, setting yourself a personal photo with a speech at a prestigious conference, you will activate your luck in your career. Place in the northern sector of the workspace an image of a staircase or road going up - and brilliant career growth is ensured.
   Unfortunately, some companies prohibit the use of personal desktop items. No problem! You can simply put them in the top drawer of the table. Each time, getting things necessary for work, you will see photos of loved ones or your favorite trinkets.
   You can also decorate your desktop background with screensavers with landscapes that take you into the distance, or family photos.

Surround yourself with nice colors.
   What to do if the color scheme of the office does not suit you, and its decor does not cause a feeling of comfort? Use a complementary color at your workplace to neutralize the overall tone of the office, which does not match the style of work being done. For example, if personal work requires energy and the office is decorated in blue, add a few spots of orange. You can put an orange rug under your arm or hang a picture in orange tones.

According to Feng Shui, there are five fundamental elements: fire, water, wood, metal and earth. Each element has its own color.

  ✅ FIRE - RED  . This is the color for dynamic and successful people. However, an overabundance of this element can lead to exhaustion and anger, and you will always have a lot to do.
✅WATER - BLACK, NAVY BLUE. The more symbols of this element in your work, the calmer, more creative and flexible you are. But be on the lookout: an overabundance of water can turn you into an easily injured and indecisive person.
✅TREE - GREEN AND BLUE. This is the color of leisurelyness, caution, but at the same time, confident steps to victory. Too much green and blue can make you a boring and bile person.
✅METAL - SILVER, GOLD, WHITE AND GRAY.  The colors of the metal attract wealth and success, and in large quantities - greed and despondency.
✅ EARTH - BROWN OF ALL SHADES, UP TO THE PALE BEIGE. This is the color of stability and confidence. However, its overabundance leads to stubbornness, self-indulgence and weakness.

Personal beginning
   There are office equipment that you use most often. Mostly spend most of the day at the computer. How sad your workplace would look if it weren’t for an individual imprint! Favorite picture - as a background for the monitor, a desktop calendar with joyful emoticons, a bouquet of flowers - all this sends a life-affirming message: "I am," and, of course, inspires me to work.

Workplace cleanliness
   For some reason, people quickly get used to the mess. Cleaning begins only when clients or large bosses are going to visit the office. You may not pay any attention to it, but the dirt and clutter in the workplace negatively affect the efficiency of your work and accumulate bad energy. For clarity to be present in matters, clean your workplace after a hard day and make sure that there is no dust on the surfaces of the table or in other places.

Desktop

As already mentioned, the first and most basic rule is that there should always be order on your personal desktop. No blockages, dumps of unnecessary papers, old magazines, newspapers and other rubbish. Cleanliness and order are the cornerstone of success, according to the laws of Feng Shui. This, however, applies to the office or the office as a whole.

Now more about the zones. That's what experts advise.

• Career area  located right in front of you. It should be empty, ensuring the convenience of working at the table and symbolizing the limitless possibilities of your career growth.
• Area of \u200b\u200bcreativity located on your right. Place there a folder with cases that have already been completed. In no case do not add unfinished projects or letters here, which is high time to answer. Prefer photos of children and favorite images symbolizing the creative process (for example, lyre)
• Health area  located on your left hand. There should be a folder with unfinished chores or projects that you are currently working on or are just about to.
     The materials and documents that you use most often should be placed within reach - say, from your chair. So you can save a lot of time, energy and effort without running after them to cabinets and distant shelves. If it is not possible to provide this condition, then at the beginning of each working day, evaluating the tasks ahead, the necessary materials should be laid out on a table or nearby.
     A crane figurine, a bamboo shoot or a wooden bowl with nuts will save you from health problems.

• The middle of the table isit is his spiritual and physical center, the focus of the beneficial Chi energy, should also be free. This can be easily achieved if you move the keyboard away from the monitor or move the laptop to you.
     The uncluttered center of the table will provide you not only convenience in work, but also a free flow of beneficial energy.
     Hold a crystal of crystal near the keyboard, and a positive charge will not pass you by.

• Behind the Qi zone is located island of fame.Put here a portrait of Bill Gates, Madonna, or any other person personifying success for you. So you will take your step towards recognition.
• Help Area  and seek patronage in the lower right corner of the table. is he   associated with travel and external support.

  Decorate it with pictures from travel brochures, postcards or photographs of friends living in other countries, and opportunities for adventure can be right in your hands.

  Well, if you have a phone there.

• Field of knowledge  located in the lower left corner of the table. Put there something that symbolizes knowledge - an owl figurine or a reference book, your favorite book.
• Area of \u200b\u200brelationship, marriage  located in the upper right corner of the table. Put fresh flowers in there. And here it’s good to keep photos of your favorite people, happy couples.
     It is good to keep there a couple of elephants facing each other. You can also put a phone and a pen holder there.
• Area of \u200b\u200bwealth - in the upper left corner of the table. Put a pot with a money tree or a three-toed toad with a coin in your mouth - an amulet that attracts wealth.
     Use it to attract love, money, friends - all that you need now. Double your wealth with a mirror that will reflect the contents of the corner.

• In the zone of wealth, you can place a living plant or its imitation.
• In the health zone there are symbols of the earth - pebbles or shells.
• In the area of \u200b\u200bcreativity should be metal objects.

"Table" accessories

Try to quickly find the necessary document in a heap of papers randomly piled on the table. And at the same time, get out of hand so as not to catch your finger on the cup with the soot-like slurry, which used to be coffee, and the bouquet of daisies that Vasya presented from the neighboring department last week. Hop, you didn’t succeed!

No wonder business etiquette is against ...

• ... make paper debris on the table. Excavations in the mountains of papers will take you a lot of time, nerves and as a result will make your life simply unbearable. Keep your desk tidy. Documents that do not require urgent decision-making, put in specially designated places for them - in folders or drawers of nightstands;

• ... to grow flower beds on the table, and especially to keep flowers not of the first freshness. The bouquet can be one, and then it is small, and its place is on the nightstand near the table or on the shelf.
     However, plants, both artificial and natural products, it is quite possible to breed on the windowsill, floor, wall or shelf. It is necessary for a worker, tired from overwork, to keep his eyes on velvet greens, as he will feel a surge of fresh strength and good mood;
• ... "open" a cosmetic store. Powder, lipstick, mascara should be in the cosmetic bag, the cosmetic bag in the purse, the purse in the closet;
• ... keep cups, spoons and plates on the table, otherwise you will be guaranteed a reputation as a slut. The best office utensils are invisible utensils, which are hidden somewhere in the bowels of the nightstand.

Get rid of old unnecessary things
It is simply necessary to make the workplace comfortable. And it is important not only in terms of aesthetics, but also psychology and health. Throw away any accessories that you have never used and that have been covered with dust for years. For a long time unclaimed folders and documents transfer to the archive. Then not only make room, but also gain the clarity of mind and wisdom necessary to achieve career success. In order for something new to appear in life, he needs to make way.

And what should be on the table?  In the background is a table lamp, a clock, a monitor (send the system unit under the table!). On the front is a keyboard, a mouse with a rug, a telephone and stationery. Such an organization of space is called "everything at hand" and allows you to receive and process a maximum of information, while making a minimum of body movements.

Finance area

The southeastern part of the office is a zone that attracts cash. Therefore, this part of the office should not be empty. You can activate it with the help of a home aquarium or a decorative fountain.

The main thing is that these objects are life-giving sources of necessary energy. There may be a fireplace in this place. One of the talismans can stand on the mantelpiece - for example, a toad that sits on money.

The cabinet finance area should be kept clean at all times.

Love zone

The study should also have a love zone. In the lives of many women, personal life and career occupy equal positions. Therefore, when a representative of the weaker sex equips her office, she must also remember the love zone. The energy around the desktop should be organized in such a way that it positively affects the personal life of a woman.

There should be a love zone in the northwestern part of the room. In this place there may be joint photographs of spouses or lovers, the main thing is that these photographs be new. This sector can only be decorated with paired items. You can use two bowls - in one there will be water and rose petals, and in the other - stones.

Symbols and objects of Feng Shui

In practice, Feng Shui to attract good luck using a variety of talismans. The choice of “your” souvenir is a purely personal matter, you cannot give any clear recommendations about which particular talisman will be the most effective.

The figure of the Indian elephant god Ganesha in feng shui symbolizes an adviser and ally who helps to successfully conduct business and increase income. The best place for Ganesha on the desktop is the relationship area, the best material is bronze.

Another popular mascot of feng shui is a three-toed toad with a coin in its mouth, a symbol of monetary prosperity. It is better to put it in the upper left corner of the table - in the field of wealth.

Chinese coins, which are also often used as a talisman in Feng Shui, are a universal symbol of the unity of the energies of yin and yang, also of all elements. They help harmonize life in all its manifestations. Most often, coins are combined with a red cord, usually in the amount of three pieces.

As a powerful talisman, a pyramid is used not only in Feng Shui. True, only a pyramid can be effective, the faces of which are related according to the principle of the “golden section”. Such a figure is a kind of energy accumulator, and is able to increase efficiency.

As you can see, Feng Shui is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. And certainly not harder than mastering Chinese literacy. Start by following the simplest and most general guidelines and you will see how your life is transformed.
   It is not necessary to believe in it to change the interior of your workplace or housing. Anyway, he will act. And there - who knows, maybe you will become another guru in the field of Feng Shui?

Good luck and prosperity!

Only, there was not so much a post as a selection of photos for inspiration. Today I want to make a post, with tips, and the next dose of photographic inspiration. The ideas are partly inspired directly by photographs of the design of the workplace, and partly by their own experience. Well, as well as my dreams of my own office: D Of course, these ideas are applicable not only for the home (despite the rubric), but are designed for the workplace in the office of the company in which you work and for coworking.

• The very first and most commonplace advice - photo. Families, relatives and pets, or just an unfamiliar kitten, who will always touch the eye and delight the eye, raising the mood. After all, the main thing for us is not to let the working routine turn us into a robot, and in the worst case, a kind of Decepticon or terminator, that is, a robot embittered all over the world. Therefore, long live fotochki with kids and kittens  * sushushu-musushu *
• If there are no photos, or you do not want to be distracted by your relatives and friends, well, or you n other reasons, then photographs can be easily replaced with beautiful drawings, art paintings or even just - the pages of a magazine in a frame, or even printed quotes. The main thing is that this image is pleasing to the eye, and ideally also fits into the design of the office, if it comes to your own office, coworking, where you are free to change everything at your discretion - from photos babiesto a fully cabinet setting.
• Natural flowers. They are better than the dead. This is personal, but I'm not a fan of cut flowers, I like mini-bushes and pots of fresh roses. Get yourself a couple, and they will live, blossom and smell, and unlike their severed relatives, they will not die before your eyes (if you water on time, of course), and will not spoil your mood. And in the picture below - a couple of vases with corpses.

• Marker board with buttons for visualizing tasks. It's like a blackboard, only made of wood or cork (like mine), or other material, where you can sculpt important notes, clippings from magazines, etc. on different needles, pins and stationery buttons (or even stickers and scotch tape). This option is especially important for creative professions. In addition to a certain organization of space, such boards can carry the functions of a wall muse. So you look at the sticky beauty, and it dawns on you ... Well, for me, anyway - like that \u003d)
• Beautiful book dividers, if there are a lot of books, or vertical holders for working folders. Folders are more for those who have a lot of papers and documents involved in the workflow. And for creative people, for whom the book is an assistant and a guiding star, you can find beautiful and comfortable, and most importantly - stylish, book dividers.
• Favorite memorabilia with which pleasant memories are associated. This desktop design element will also help create a pleasant and relaxed environment around the perimeter of your workspace. If you have something that definitely makes you smile - his place on the desktop, well, or you can carry this thing in your pocket, if you can’t part with it for a long time.

• Bank with bright candies or dragees. Of course, in the absence of fellow gluttons and small thieves who like to carry other people's cookies, as well as if you are not currently on a diet. In this case, a large glass jar can be filled with multi-colored plastic or glass balls, a bright small stationery and so on. The key here is the color mix. Rainbow overflows always contribute to raising the mood.
• Beautiful lighting device. Surely, everything is provided for in the work office, but I think no one will bother you to bring your personal little lamp that will fit into your own mini-design of the work space. Perhaps it will not even always be used for its intended purpose - for lighting. In our situation, his highest mission is to create an atmosphere so that even #work days  they brought some pleasure, or at least did not spoil the mood.

I don’t know about the "interesting", but unusual - completely. A few examples can be given, some only indirectly:

1) Instead of partitions, the girl had mirrors in the workplace that could be moved. And when the rays of the sun fell on her table, she made reflections of various geometric shapes from them. Yes, it was dusty, so the rays were visible.

2) All kinds of games, obviously. A mini-basketball ring, a kit for assembling weapons from paper clips and the rest of the office, table mini-golf and stuff like that.

3) A colleague always had a bottle of wine on the table that contained water. But this is not for long, since when everyone got used to it, water at "biblical speed, bl, speed" became, of course, wine. And, by the way, a digression - he drank in the same amount and I only found out about wine about a week later.

4) About decorating - a common way when the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe workplace, except for the table, is pasted with colorful stickers. It seems like even practical, but I would have gone crazy.

5) Syndrome of imaginary pedantry. This is when I really want all the pencils to be in the right gradient - from light to dark, always in the color scheme. Like everything else on the table. If there are a lot of bright small objects, if arranged correctly, this will add decoration to the workplace.

6) Lego. The largest number of Lego blocks in the workplace and it will never lose its individuality. Like you among colleagues.

7) A well-known thing - to use clamps for an easel as fasteners for cords. The black clip is at the table. In the "ears" - wires.

8) If you are organizing, then do it on large (in moderation) sheets of cardboard in block letters. This adds style. True, it is not clear where to get so much cardboard, but they found it in my office.

9) Buy upholstery for a chair bright. Or textured - from suede, for example.

10) Screw to the wall next to / in front of / behind / not far from the perforated board and hang everything that the soul asks for there.

11) Thermal stickers, cute toys, figurines and so on. Do not overdo it.

12) If the office is allowed, then the cat. Belly is the best decoration on your desktop.

13) Order.

14) Minimalism.

15) The woman had photographs of some people into whom she threw darts. Even now it seems to me that this is interesting and unusual.

16) Cleanliness is very color.

17) If possible, then the drawings on the table. There are crayons, I won’t lie which ones, I don’t remember the name, but, in general, they can be painted on different surfaces and they are erased. IKEA seems to have it.

18) Upholstery with sound-absorbing material. It is of different colors, it seems. You will not be heard / heard wrong, but you can stick something into the upholstery itself.

19) Often an employee is a decoration of the workplace. This, I would say, is the best option.

20) Artificial vegetation. The lawn is at hand, the lawn is underfoot, branches, bushes and ferns. Usually, it looks nice, but there is a risk if you do not wipe it all, breathe dust, which is enough in the office.

Where to engage in your favorite hobby, so that it is convenient, but there is order in the house? It is necessary to properly organize the workplace of the needlewoman using our tips.

When a hobby imperceptibly becomes a part of life or gradually grows into income, the house is filled not only with beautiful crafts, but also with materials for their manufacture - yarn, fabrics, accessories, a glue gun and other attributes of creativity are scattered throughout the apartment. Only one thing can save from chaos - a properly organized workplace of a needlewoman. How to equip your own corner, if you have at your disposal not a separate room, but one-room apartment? Everything is possible with a thoughtful approach.

  Hanging workplace - the choice for a beginner needlewoman

If your hobby does not require a lot of space, for example, you study, or it is quite possible to equip the needlewoman’s working corner from a hanging cabinet-table, designed for students and office workers working at home. Such systems are sold in furniture stores and are easy to modify to fit your needs.

Wall furniture is a compact cabinet with a folding table, similar to the secretary. When folded, all accessories will be securely hidden from the eyes of guests and the hands of young children, if you master. When unfolded, you will receive a full-fledged table, next to which there will be all the necessary little things neatly folded into boxes made of love and decorative jars.

Such a table-locker can be placed in any room, including in the kitchen and even in the hallway, but do not forget to provide good lighting, which will be described below.

  The workplace in the closet is always the perfect order

If you are engaged in types of needlework that require more space, including for installing equipment, for example, sewing or knitting, or your hobby has already left the category of spending evenings, turning into, look at the transformer cabinets. The organization of the needlewoman’s workplace in the closet will always maintain order at home and hide the traces of the work process from guests, showing them only the results of their work.

Such cabinets can be ordered at a furniture factory or individual furniture maker, having prepared a preliminary drawing in advance or showing him as an example a photo of the needlewoman’s workplace. Naturally, in every finished project  There is always the opportunity to make additions based on your type of activity. Also, then it will be possible to build baskets, boxes and other vaults with your own hands.

Do not forget to use the doors. If you earn by sewing on order, then glue mirrors to the inner sides, if mirrors are not needed, organize additional storage there in the form of pockets. You can also attach holders for rolls of colored paper or fabrics to the doors.

  Storage room as a separate office

Before organizing the needlewoman’s workplace in the pantry, decide to get rid of unnecessary things that have accumulated there over the years. Seeing an empty pantry, you will understand that here you can equip a full-fledged workshop for sewing, knitting and weaving.

You can equip the interior space of the pantry with the help of finished furniture, items made to order or with your own hands. It is most practical to approach the task in a comprehensive manner - to buy part of the furniture, and make and sew all kinds of shelves, hanging baskets and pockets with your own hands.

It is better to buy or order a table, given your type of needlework. Think about whether you need a sewing machine, whether you will use hot objects (iron, soldering iron, glue gun), whether there is a danger of moisture - taking into account these and other points, determine the height and size of the countertop, as well as its cover.

Under the table, you can organize additional storage, but so that the legs have free space. Place the most sought-after items above the table, and be sure to equip the remaining walls for storage, not forgetting the beauty of your handmade “boudoir”.

  Arrangement of a balcony for a home workshop

Try to convince homeworkers to organize a needlewoman’s workplace on the balcony, promising them perfect order and comfort in this abandoned area. Naturally, for such purposes it will be necessary to glaze and insulate the balcony, so without investments you can’t get a mini-workshop. The workplace on the balcony is ideal for those whose work is accompanied by the release of unpleasant and harmful odors, for example, you use chemical dyes, varnishes or glue.

To equip the needlewoman’s corner, select the end part of the balcony. It is advisable that daylight fall on the left side. Be sure to take care of the curtains and do not forget about the floor covering, which is easy to remove from the remnants of thread, wool and other small debris.

A narrow cabinet for small things can be made under the window, and the walls can be supplemented with shelves and hanging vaults. Also on the balcony you can use the suspended workstation and wardrobe described above. Or set up a full-fledged table, taking into account your main hobby. Look in furniture stores folding tables, transformers, increasing as necessary. There are special models for sewing machines in which the machine hides inside.

  How to equip a part of the room under a needlework corner

Having at your disposal a separate room or part of it, you can turn around to the fullest! This option is ideal for types of needlework, requiring a lot of space for work and storage of materials and tools.

All the same tips that we have already given above will do here, but on a scale you can not limit yourself.

Be sure to provide mirrors and screens, if customers come to you, buy mannequins, arrange seating for visitors. Do not forget about open shelves, but be sure to keep order on them, and if accuracy is not your line, put only finished work on open shelves, and hide everything that is in the process in cabinets.

  Design Ideas - How to Organize Storage Locations

It’s convenient to use hanging baskets mounted on rails for storing accessories, these can be plastic containers, cardboard boxes, upholstered in fabricknitted bags.

Buttons, beads and other little things conveniently stored in. To maximize the use of space, screw the twisting lids to the bottom of the cabinet - so you can screw and screw the jar at the right time, and at another time it will hang stylishly, decorating the cozy workplace of the needlewoman.

For trifles, it is also convenient to use transparent plastic chests of drawers, sold in stores for beauty salons, and suitcases with many compartments, designed for amateur anglers.

Naturally, do-it-yourself storages are welcome - chests of cardboard or plywood, caskets with dividers, boxes made of denim and other attributes that emphasize your talent.

Remember that the corner should be not only beautiful, but also functional. Take care of sockets, trash cans, practical flooring.

  Lighting is an important point

Do not forget that any work that requires attention negatively affects the eyes, and if you perform it in a poorly lit room, then fatigue will quickly become chronic, and your vision will begin to deteriorate.

Take care of the top lighting first. If there is no desire or opportunity to change ceiling lamps, pay attention to floor lamps with a long and high leg - such a lamp is quite capable of replacing ceiling light, moreover, its mobility allows you to quickly direct lighting to another place. This is very convenient if you work in different parts of the table or room or people come to try on you.

Contrary to popular belief, sunlight cannot be considered the best solution, so consider providing protection from it when working near a window or balcony. Too bright a sun leads to fatigue if you embroider with beads or create jewelry from small details. However, daylight is also necessary - without it it is impossible to choose the right shades of thread, fabrics and accessories.

When working with small parts and be sure to buy a table lamp. It’s good if it is a model with a smooth adjustment of the degree of lighting - so you can choose the right intensity and create the most comfortable conditions for the eyes. Now there are batteries on batteries - an ideal solution that protects against power outages in the house.

A lamp with a magnifying glass is a special invention that facilitates working with miniature elements, complex embroidery and is indispensable for those with low vision. Such lamps can be supplemented with holders on which it is convenient to fix patterns for embroidery.

We will be glad if our tips help you in arranging the needlewoman’s corner, and the photos inspire new solutions!

Regardless of where you work, at home or in the office, it is important that you feel comfortable at your workplace. After all, a cozy and attractive office increases productivity and work efficiency. Before delving into the details, let's look at some things that can improve the work environment.

Lighting

Ideally, the workplace should have a lot of windows and natural light. However, since this is not always possible, you should try to increase the coverage that you have using special lighting.

The lamp should be on the table, but also for this you should consider using artificial lighting. Most likely you noticed that you feel less energetic during the winter months, and so this is due to the lack of exposure to sunlight. The sun improves your mood and makes your work more productive. It is also important to receive some artificial lighting in the work area, for example, to facilitate reading, writing and other activities.

Good storage solution

A tidy and clean work environment inspires more than a dirty and messy environment. Therefore, before starting your tasks at the beginning of the day, put your table in order, arrange everything as it should be.

To do this, you need a good place to store your belongings. Open shelves are wonderful because they store and display all the elements that you can easily get later.

Cabinets and bedside tables are ideal for disguising other items that you don't use as often. If you work with documents and files, or you have a lot of books in the office, then a bookcase is an ideal place to store.

Occupy a separate area for work

Do not mix work with personal life. If you decide to work at home, you must choose a place that will be used only for work! It would be great if you found a separate room for this. Other additional goals will only distract you from work.

Also, having a specific workplace, you can decorate it as you want, without worrying about anything else. A person must establish some boundaries between work and personal life. Therefore, when you are at work, you should think only about it, and not about the house.

Tidy the wires

I think we can all agree that wires can sometimes be annoying with our mess. We often try to ignore this problem, but this only leads to the worst. Therefore, try to find a way to put them in order. This problem can be solved in many ways, for example, by connecting the wires together.

Get rid of all cables that interfere with your work. You can also somehow label, sign, or find a creative way to organize them.

Set a comfortable temperature

One important factor is temperature. If it is too hot for you, then you cannot concentrate properly, and if it is too cold you cannot be productive. You must set a temperature that will make you feel comfortable. To do this, you can use a fan, heater or air conditioning.

Personalization style

You can add a few details to your office to make you more inspired when working. To do this, you can try hanging a poster. This will increase your mood and productivity. Choose something that can relax you for a while, which will relax your brain.

Comfortable armchair and desk

Of course, the most important thing is that the workplace has a comfortable chair and a comfortable table. There are several details that you should consider before buying these of them.

Comfortable seat

• A comfortable office seat is a good investment. Make sure you know what you are looking for before making a purchase. An excellent chair should have a comfortable back, so that, for example, not to damage the posture, not to have back pain. It would be very good if he had a breathable fabric.
• A good seat should also have armrests, although some people do not take this into account. The armrests should be low enough for your shoulders to keep your elbows relaxed and bent at a 90 degree angle.
• Any good office seat should have an adjustable height. This allows you to adjust your position when you are sitting at your desk. Your legs should remain on the floor and your arms should be at the table level.
• The adjustable backrest height is sometimes neglected. But it is important to have good posture during work (for this you need to adjust the height and angle of inclination of the back).
• Speaking of posture, do you know how to sit at work? We will tell you. You should sit as close to the table as possible, with an even posture, without hunching, and so that your hands are on the work surface. Your legs should also be bent at the knees at an angle of 90 degrees. Try to sit that way, and your back will not know about the pain.

Also, you better have a footrest, as this can reduce pressure on the legs, and therefore pain at the end of the day.

Desktop

• Choosing a table is just as important as choosing a seat. Therefore, when you go shopping for furniture for a new office, you must take into account several factors.
• The mouse and keyboard should be as close to each other as possible. If you have a shelf for the keyboard, then the mouse should be there. Make sure the table is at the perfect height. Of course, you can adjust the height of your seat.
• When placing the monitor on a table, you need to pay attention to several things. First of all, after you have adjusted the chair, close your eyes. Open your eyes, your gaze should be directed to the center of the screen. If the computer screen is too low, then you can use the stack of books to pick it up.
• After all the important things are properly organized on the table, you need to take care of the little things. On the table should be the elements that you really need and so that they can be easily reached. Do not clutter your workspace with decorative elements.

This will help you concentrate better and make your work more productive and efficient. Even if you work from home, you should take a lunch break or find something that relaxes you from time to time.
