Just because your office needs to be functional, however, doesn&#39;t mean it can&#39;t be chic. Here are a few smart tips for creating a home office that&#39;s the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Create a private workspace. <\/strong>Even if you don&#39;t have an entire room to use as your office, you should still have a designated space that is just for working. Invest in a full-sized desk, a compact folding desk that tucks away when not in use, or even a kitchen table that can be used for work. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Take advantage of natural light. <\/strong>If possible, maximize your home&#39;s natural light to keep you focused on work. Arrange your desk near a window, and use sheer curtains to let in as much light as possible. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Corral all clutter. <\/strong>It&#39;s unrealistic to think that your workspace won&#39;t become cluttered, so create storage spaces that will help you to keep it all organized. Invest in attractive trays, cups for pens and pencils, and a separate file cabinet if you need one. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Decorate with inspirational quotes. <\/strong>Frame print-outs of your favorite inspirational quotes to keep you motivated while working. Create a gallery wall or simply prop a few up on the edge of your desk. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Add some greenery. <\/strong>Freshen up the air and add a pop of color with a plant or two. Try a healing aloe plant, some easy-care cacti, or a colorful orchid. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theeverygirl.com\/essentials-for-a-home-office\" target=\"_blank\">Essentials for a Home Office<\/a> [The Every Girl]<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.realsimple.com\/home-organizing\/decorating\/home-office-ideas\" target=\"_blank\">17 Surprising Home Office Ideas<\/a> [Real Simple]<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/5-mistakes-everybody-makes-decorating-their-home-office-186701\" target=\"_blank\">5 Mistakes Everybody Makes Decorating Their Home Office<\/a> [Apartment Therapy]<\/p>\n<div class=\"pophld\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/respage-upload.s3.amazonaws.com\/img\/26054459776_a462490b9e_z_640.jpg\" style=\"margin:0;padding:0;\" title=\"Flickr\/sue seecof\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:0;padding:0;clear:both;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\">CC-BY-2.0<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/126344637@N05\/26054459776\/\" target=\"_blank\">Flickr\/sue seecof<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you run your own business or work for a company remotely, having a functional home office is essential for success.
