At One 51 Place, our apartments are spacious and uniquely designed with color-coordinated elements. Your apartment will be enhanced with one of three professionally chosen color schemes (beige, taupe, or grey) and you’ll see that color implemented in the wall color, cabinets, paddle fans, light fixtures, carpeting, and ceramic tile. Our apartments are also ideal for setting up a home office, whether that means utilizing a corner of your living room or setting aside an entire room of your apartment to be designated as home office space.

Here are some tips for setting up a great home office:

• Consider your existing décor. Your home office should be a natural extension of your apartment, so if your apartment has furniture and knick-knacks that are cozy and comfortable, your home office should reflect that.

• Invest in an ergonomic chair. You may end up spending many hours every day in your home office, so it makes sense to have a comfortable, supportive chair to ensure you don’t wind up with aches and pains when you’re finished using the office.

• Invest in storage. You’ll want to decide how you want to keep track of the items stored in your home office, whether that involves scrapbooking materials, crafting supplies, or anything else. Find great ways to store your items so you’ll always have a place for them, and they won’t clutter up your home.

• Think about lighting and glare. You’ll want your home office to provide good lighting to reduce the amount of strain on your eyes, which can cause headaches. Use natural light, if possible. You could also invest in a desk lamp that will emit a lower level of light.

Hopefully, with the tips above, designing a home office in your apartment will be a simple process that will provide you with an area to be productive or simply enjoy some quiet time reading.
