Home Office Upgrade #1: Add layered lighting

more people are working from home than ever before, and they’re performing a variety of tasks. That means your home office needs specific task lighting – and that’s more than you can get from a simple overhead light. Consider adding a floor lamp, and if there’s space, a few table lamps. That way, buyers can see how versatile the room really is.

Home Office Upgrade #2: Place a few plants in your space

Plants improve workspaces; science has shown that plants can improve worker satisfaction and concentration levels, and they can lower stress. Even if buyers aren’t familiar with the data and science, Val enjoy seeing plants in your home office. It’ll make them feel more comfortable, and probably even more likely able to envision themselves working in the space after they buy your home.

Home Office Upgrade #3: Invest in better seating

Decorate your Home Office by making it appear more welcoming and inviting. Simply adding seating for guests can make a huge difference. If you have the space, you may even consider putting two chairs near a small table, which can show buyers that kids can fit into the workspace, too.

Home Office Upgrade #4: Say goodbye to heavy drapes

Buyers like to see light, bright spaces, which means it’s time to say goodbye to heavy drapes. Replace your heavy drapes with airy window treatments that you can pull back when people come to see your home. Even if the view isn’t amazing, buyers want to know that they won’t be holed up in a small, dark space if they have to (or want to) work from home.

Home Office Upgrade #5: Set up a “Zoom” space

Zoom rooms are a thing – with more people working from home than ever before, people are having online meetings every day. Although buyers know that your things will go with you when you move, it’s in your best interest to show that you can use your space for video conferencing. the best way to do that is to set up a tastefully decorated corner or wall that can serve as a great backdrop for online meetings.
