    Want to escalate your levels of productivity? Why not assemble an office in your own abode? Whether you have an entire room to allot or just a small corner to spare, we’ve got you covered. Decorate it with care using our top three home office trends as a guideline.1. Compact CurationIf you’re abode doesn’t allow you to dedicate a separate chamber for an office, no need to fret. Plan an striking yet utilitarian workstation despite size limitations in your living room or boudoir. You can use the furniture you have to partition the area and customise it with flat-pack friendly basics. Avoid bulky fittings and look for foldable desks, chairs and shelves with clean lines.

    2. Uniform CodeA cosy workspace characterised by similar hued elements leaves no room for distractions. Create an illusion of continuity in your domestic workspace that will guarantee peace of mind while you breeze through your to-do list. Opt for furniture and decor pieces in a homogenous set of colours and textures that seem to blend into each other.
    3. Statement WallsA pop of colour can do wonders to awaken your creative cells. Make a bold decision with unique partitions in vivid tones, decorated with accessories that are functional, yet eye-catching. Plus, surface coverings in colourful, graphic prints are ideal to enliven dull corners in your home.
