Home Office Decorating Tips from Madison Seating

Do you work from home? Are you becoming overwhelmed by the task of creating and decorating your home office and feel a little stuck? We all get that way sometimes. Let the experts at Madison Seating, your premier provider of office furniture, give you a few quick and easy tips to turn your ho hum work space into a sleek and professional haven.

1) One of the first mistakes most people make when preparing their office is with paint color. Painting your walls a dark color can make your work space feel small, cramped and depressing. If you go with a lighter, neutral shade your room will feel more spacious, energetic and professional.

2) Measure your room before shopping for your home office furniture. Your office should not be overcrowded nor should it be decorated too sparsely. You don't want a cluttered office or one that feels sterile. Keep your bookcases, desks, file cabinets and sofa appropriate to the size of your workspace.

3) Have a budget worked out. Your budget is directly linked to what you get as far as quality and craftsman ship.

4) You will want to set aside money for a good office chair. Skimping on your home office chair is a big mistake. Your chair is probably the single most important piece of furniture in your office. You will need to choose something with good lumbar support, arm rests and swivels. Madison Seating carries excellent office chairs including the Steel Case Leap Chair and the Herman Miller Aeron Chair.

5) While very tempting, do not buy veneered or laminated "wood" furniture. These pieces look cheap and flimsy and are a headache to assemble. They also fall apart very quickly, costing you more in the long run.

6) Don't forget to add lighting, mirrors and decorative touches to maximize your room's warmth, space, style and appeal. A nice plant, artwork, or black and white or sepia toned photographs are always a safe bet. Don't overdo it though. A few well chosen pieces go a long way. These pieces blend in nicely with almost any style of office furniture too. Madison Seating carries excellent accessory pieces for your home office needs.

7) While arranging your furniture, keep in mind that placing your desk as far away from the door as possible gives your office the illusion of more space. Another great tip to add the illusion of

spaciousness is to stay away from desks that are too dark or too large for your room.

8) Keep in mind that modern and contemporary furniture, like that which Madison Seating has to offer, blends well with every motif.
