Remote work – how to make your home office functional

Temporariness – this won't work
Until now, some of us worked from home from time to time. We often worked at the dining room table, in the kitchen, on the sofa and even in bed. We used tables, windowsills or even our own knees as desks. After all, it was only one day a week, or even just from time to time. Now this model won't work. If we work mostly from home and we go to the office rarely or not at all, we need to change our habits. In order for our home office to be effective, we should make sure to designate a working space and arrange it properly. The way in which our home office is arranged depends on how much space we have. It is best if we are able to create a separate office. A private room will provide us with peace of mind, especially if there are other people in the apartment with us.

Light – no trivial matter
Choosing the lighting is not an easy task. In your home office, you must skillfully combine functional and mood lighting – so that you don't feel like you're working all day.  A well-lit workplace increases efficiency, but also affects our well-being. First of all, we must remember that daylight is extremely important for our well-being. It has a positive effect on concentration and gives us more energy. It makes it easier for us to work and makes us feel happier. If you can, place your desk in close proximity to the window, remembering not to sit with your back to it. The rays of the sun can reflect in your computer monitor, so make sure the window is in front of you or on the side, or use blinds, then the light will not disturb you during work.
 

Desk lamp – an indispensable tool for work
If you can't use natural light in your home office, or there is less and less natural light due to the season or the weather, then use desk lamps. This lighting will prevent us from damaging our eyesight and will properly illuminate our working surface. Ones that emit 4000-5000K light with a neutral color will work best. Do not use warm, yellow light for work. Such a light will make you feel lazy by causing your body to expect rest.
Nowadays, desk lamps can have many functions. Choose lamps that can be dimmed, then you can easily move from functional to mood lighting, as in Kanlux DOSAN lamps. An equally useful function will be the ability to change the color of light, which can be found in Kanlux ISTI lamps. We can also choose a lamp with a clock, like Kanlux AWAN, or with a socket for charging mobile devices. A lamp that combines many of these features is Kanlux REXAR. These little amenities will make our daily work easier, remind us of a meeting or save our phone battery from dying.
