How to make your office feel more like home

"Make yourself at home", "Ah, I feel like home" ... how many times have we heard it said? How many times do we wish it were like this? Often, however, when we think about work, we perceive it as the antagonist of the house. Cats and mice, good and evil, home and work: two things that must be separated.

The pandemic has changed a lot of things, including the boundaries between home and office. After experiencing work from home, there are those who can’t wait to go back to the office and those who just don't want to go back.

But one thing that is certain; whether you want it or not, even if partially, you must go back to the office.

How to make going back to the office sweeter? Here are some tips!

Lighting.

Not everyone knows that light in the workspace affects our ability to work. In fact, it has effects on mood, energy and productivity.

A dim light is definitely warmer and favors a more relaxed mood, but a light too dim makes you feel more tired and lazy. On the contrary, bright light increases energy, but an environment too bright strains the eyes and makes it difficult to reconcile rest, altering the natural circadian rhythms. The perfect light is a compromise halfway between a dim light and a bright light; to understand which is the best light you have to evaluate many factors.
