Imagining how to create a work space at home can be a daunting yet fun experience.  Efficiency thrives in conditions where creative ideas blossom, interruptions are limited, and a healthy environment is welcome. Numerous cutting edge offices were designed for worker productivity, yet an at home work space doesn’t have that luxury.

Fortunately, those of us who telecommute can gain so much from the progressive plans of green, coordinated, and inventive workspaces.

Regardless of whether you’re going into business, you telecommute all day, or you infrequently work from your home office, you can profit by optimizing your workspace for genuine efficiency utilizing these tips.

 

Design A Workspace At Home

1. Make it Your Own Style

What tickles your fancy? Surround your environment with decor and personal items that make you feel good. Individual touches and keepsakes make you feel comfortable and increase productivity.

 

2. Better To Organize the Space You Have

Change the spatial arrangement of your workspace to increase the flow in areas you move about. It creates positive energy, like in Feng Shui. Install floating shelves in order to remove equipment and papers from your desk.

If you make piles on your desk, get baskets to hold & organize loose papers pencils & papers.

 

3. Green Could be an Essential Color for your Home Office

I’m learning TODAY that the color green stimulates some fascinating things within us!  It could boost your creativity, create a feeling of calmness in a work space at home, and increase productivity. Green is powerful!

Not wild about green paint on your office walls? you can still reap the benefits by having more green in your home office like maybe an accent wall, plants, or home decor.

 

4. Make Sure You Have a Balance Of Natural vs Proper Lighting

Eye strain and headaches can deter (and for some debilitate) you from reaching your daily work goals.

Use a desk lamp for immediate tasks and position the computer monitor so it will not cause glare from sunshine or regular room lighting. To avert possible fatigue and drowsiness, choose wisely for your office lighting.

 

5. Thought of using a Standing Desk?

This is not just a new trend. Using a standing desk can actually increase your productivity and be healthier for you.

The most common of these come with an assisted pump-action to rise and lower the standing desk. You can achieve the perfect height so you and switch between standing and sitting during your workday.

If you have cardiovascular or obesity issues it is absolutely better for your health and productivity to stand while working at least part of the day.

 

6. Did “Form vs Function” ever cross your mind?

This is a very old phrase used in design and architecture starting in the early 20th Century.  When putting a home office together don’t get caught up with decorating over what your workflow and basic needs are.

As we mentioned, you want your workspace to be warm with keepsakes, color, and decor that inspire your creativity.  But, the functionality and tools that you need quick access to can’t be overlooked. Inspiring pieces that are also functional is the best.

 

7. Treat Yourself To a Great Office Chair

Modern office chairs can range in price from $100 to $2,000.  This will take some research but don’t cheap out on getting yourself a decent, ergonomic, lumbar,  quality machined chair.  They come in many colors, styles, and fabric or leather coverings.

TIP: I would stay away from faux leather chairs. Many times you’ll see claims they will last for years under all types of conditions. My experience is, they do not.

Seek high customer reviews and possibly brands you’re familiar with within your search.  After all, you’ll be spending 8 hrs a day in these seats, so make it comfortable!  You get what you pay for in this instance.

 

8.  Room With A View

Give your mind and eyes a break, by positioning your computer and desk toward a window. The windows natural light is much more interesting than looking at a blank wall. That would be ideal. But, if you’re stuck with windowless at home work space;  move everything facing an open door and hang some soothing pictures you like.

Shaved Ice Snow Cone Maker Review – Is it Worth Buying?

Turn your kitchen into an ice cream truck and serve your favorite snow cone recipe with the Nostalgia RMS602 Cone machine.  Have some cool, creamy shaved ice treats just like the old snow cone place you visited as a kid.    Make these popular frosty desserts in the convenience of your own kitchen!

I remember getting them at the circus (boy does that date me) and SNO Ball stands by the roadside on my way to Granny’s house in rural North Carolina. The SNO CONE (how it was spelled) stands might be next to a fruit stand which were plentiful on a country highway.

They’ve come a long way baby since 1916 and this funny little washed out Drive -In intermission clip. (for your entertainment!).  And they’ve always been popular with everyone.

Shaved ice is the best!  Snowballs in the past could be clunky, hard to eat with big pieces of ice.  This unit creates a cool refreshing treat on a hot summer’s day. A snow cone recipe with fluffy, snowy shaved ice with a cornucopia of flavored syrups to goMakes fruity cones like old timey snow cone places on top. What could be better? I really liked a rainbow of syrups and flavors on mine.  It was always so colorful and tasty.

So, the answer is absolutely yes. In this review, we discover you can make these professional icy treats at home.  It is convenient, easy to clean up and makes them just like your favorite snow cone place or off the local ice cream truck. Delicious!

Nostalgia RSM602 retro style and color – who cares?

Nostalgia is a perfect name for this brand of retro electrics. When you look at this ice cone machine it brings back memories, of movie theatres, Drive – Ins, State Fairs, etc.  With its metal stripes, ruby red color and deco rounded corners it looks like it jumped right out of the 1950’s, or earlier.  If you’re too young to have an emotional attachment to such objects, you’ll be seeing something very cool for the first time!

Of course you agree this is a handsome appliance, but when it comes to features this unit really has it covered. Very high ranking with Amazon customers and with us. This is a number one seller from a well respected company Nostalgia.   Check this video – here it is in action.

If you’re a child of the Sixties then you probably remember seeing “educational” film clips like the one below:

Is The Kitchen of the Future Finally Here?

Push button refrigerators (no ice makers), scrolling recipe cards and cabinets that drop-down at the wave of a hand, no less.

Of course most of these “dream” kitchen appliances never actually saw the light of day…except for the stove top combo.

Oddly enough it was the 3-in-1 toaster oven, griddle and coffee maker (commonly called a breakfast station) that made it from the engineering lab into the family home.

While there have been a lot of 50s Style 3 in 1 Breakfast Makers made thru the years, the Nostalgia brand offers a wonderful attention-grabbing cute product – the BSET300RETRORED Retro 3-in-1 Family Size Breakfast Station.

3 in 1 Breakfast Station Review – Is it Worth Buying?

The Retro 3-in-1 Breakfast Station combines in one easy-to-use machine (a toaster oven, griddle and coffee maker) everything you need to make quick, simple meals.

NOSTALGIA BSET300RETRORED RETRO 3-IN-1 FAMILY SIZE Breakfast StationPerfect for singles, college students, campers, RVer’s, and tiny house or small apartment dwellers. Also a great gift idea for folks who just love old vintage or mid modern things, too!

In a small space the BSET300RETRORED Retro works great. It will transform your morning routine instantly. This compact unit will eliminate the hassle of different juggling pans and pots on a tiny stove top.

You can make a pot of coffee then start cooking your bacon and eggs. Then without having to unplug any other appliances, you quickly toast your favorite breads.

Advantages & Benefits of the Nostalgia BSET300RETRORED 3-in-1 Breakfast Maker

Make a complete breakfast using just one appliance – save hassles when cooking in a small space

Large 4-cup Coffee Pot – make enough coffee for the entire family

Wide Non-Stick Griddle – treat your hungry horde to eggs and breakfast meats like sausage and/or bacon

A good multi-purpose appliance. Not into breakfast? No problem. This all-in-one unit can also cook up burgers, hot dogs, toast buns, grill veggies, or even bake a 7-inch pizza.

What we like?

Very lightweight – just 12 pounds

Large 19-inch family size griddle

Glass griddle lid with stay-cool handle

Toasts up to 4-slices of bread at a time
Coffee maker brews up to 4-cups of coffee

Has 30-minute timer with automatic shut off

Multi-function toaster oven bakes, toasts and reheats

Removable oven tray and non-stick griddle for easy cleaning

What we don’t like?

Griddle top has ridges – ridges make it a tough to clean off burnt-on food

Lightweight construction doesn’t stand up to a lot of rough handling or constant moving

At 1500 watts you can only use one function (toaster, coffee maker or griddle) at a time
