Having your own personal nook at home is key, especially if you work mostly from home. Having finally taken the step, to get off the sofa and turn my little nook in the hallway into my personal office space is exciting, to say the least, and this week I am starting on creating my very own dream space.
As small as my little nook is I am bursting with beans to create my new working space, I've headed to my favourite new one stop destination Pinterest to come up with some ideas and incorporating it into my own style, all whilst keeping it simple and clean.
Workstation
When designing your home office, you need to make sure that you have a suitable and functional desk. with so many designs and colours to choose from, make sure you find what is right for you and fits your area. I have decided to opt for a floating desk, that way it can fit into my very own little nook, due to my space being limited.
Comfy Desk Chair
You are sitting down for a long while, so you need to make sure that you find a comfy yet stylish chair. Why not head down to a few furniture stores, be it Made to Oliver Bonas and test drive a few. I am sure you will find something that while have you sitting pretty.
Lighting
You may have found your perfect office space in your home, but you may be lacking that natural lighting that your eyes will crave, nothing more annoying and stressful on your eyes than that lighting from your computer screen and having that to use to read your paperwork or sneaky magazine. So why not add an aesthetically pleasing plush table lamp.
Print & Scan
With all that paperwork required signing, sometimes things are not electronically done, you are going to need a printer and scanner. This is something that can sometimes be forgotten about and you find yourself running to the library or hunting for an internet cafe.
Art Up
You want to add a touch of personality to your home office, so why not decorate your walls, even just have one feature wall with some fun and stylish, fun colourful prints and inspirational quotes to keep you motivated.
Do you have any great home office decor essentials? I would love to hear your comments below.

Currently in the throws of redecoration? I am!
I have been living in my home for 2 years now and I have not really done that much to it other than furnishing the whole house and just laying down flooring, partially throughout the house. But now I think it needs a whole uplift a lick of paint, a few new items to make my home look fresher and more cozy.
Here are some tips that to make your little home an instant uplift.
Colour
You may not realise it, but colour influences everything we do, including the way we act and the mood we're in. This makes choosing colour for your home an important task – not only do you want to make sure you create the right look; you'll also want to create the right feel.
Texture
A simple rug can automatically bring a room together and perfect for keeping your tootsies warm, plus adding a throw to snuggle up into after a long day creates a new element and looks aesthetically pleasing . A subtle mix of textures will bring the room together, making you feel extra cozy and relaxed, all whilst giving your home an instant uplift.
Scent Up
Nothing more cosier than a delicious warming smell of candles. They are a firm favourite in my home, big fat ones, tall skinny ones, to tiny littles ones you name it we've got it. Plus at night it is a perfect alternative of lightning than a ceiling night, perfect especially for those date nights.
All items are super affordable to add a touch of cosiness to your home. Do you have any tips on giving your home an instant affordable uplift?
Nothing more cosier than lighting a few candles at home after a long day. I literally have them strategically placed throughout my home reed diffusers too and is one of my favourite things to shop for the ladies know me well at my closest Space NK, but I've recently feel in love with H&M too I can't get enough of the warm aromatic glow.
A relaxing and calming aroma is always wafting throughout the house, but I do have to be careful as I've a darting toddler and kitten so I always make sure these are placed out of reach or kitty leaps.
So I was delighted when Puressentiel sent me their Gentle Heat Diffuser and a few perfectly selected Essential Oils from Diffuse Respiratory Blend, to help promote wellbeing and perfect to use at the first of golds, weather changes would be perfect for those like me suffering with hay fever.
Air Purifying Blend this has to be my one of my favourites this is great as I have a child and a pet, it's helps purify the air and rid pollutants and nasty smells, especially after Milo has done his thang in his litter box, still kept him inside, far to cold for him to go out yet. Also we do not but it is perfect and could help those who suffer with asthma.
Relax Blend, now this beauty I pop on once both Cha-Chi and Milos have gone to bed and I'm about to settle down and read a book or lounge on the sofa and catch up on the latest episodes of The Haylcon. This Relax Blend is jam packed with 10 aromatherapy oils which is to help bring you into a state of tranquility and peace which will aid a relaxed mind and help you have a better nights sleep.
To get these aromatherapy essential oils going, you will need to have the Puressentiel Gentle Heat Diffuser. This is great to be placed in any room and on any surface thanks to it being made from insulated porcelain and hear only being emitted from the top, but if in doubt certainly as I do place a mat/coaster underneath. It's super stylish design looks great and being blue it fits well in to my home, it also comes in white and looks just as great.
All items are affordable and leaves your home smelling divine from the aromatherapy oils and these can easily be snapped up from good old Amazon.
Have you used essential oils before? What are you thoughts? Or do you prefer to just have candles, if so what is your favourite scent?
