tips and tricks for setting up a cocooning office

In an era when telecommuting from home is common practice, creating a workspace that is as practical as it is trendy is a must! Even if your home does not have many rooms, it conceals several forgotten places to create a cocooning office area perfectly suited to your needs. In most cases, the office is installed in the bedroom or living room where it occupies only a few small square meters. To optimize and make the most of them, designers come up with ideas for designer offices that combine both comfort and aesthetics. The walls host cute shelves, the furniture is space-saving and the storage spaces are decorative! Decorative items (baskets, boxes, blankets, cushions,green plants) invest the office space to ensure a 100% cocooning atmosphere conducive to creativity.

Favor greenery and natural materials

Long neglected, the office is now a space all to yourself! Teleworkers are no longer satisfied with a table and a computer. Today, we are all looking for decorative ideas to make this place in its own right, more cozy, stimulating and modern. It is adorned with greenery and natural materials to bring serenity and inspiration. We favor clean lines and natural materials, such as wood, to make it closer to nature and to combine it more easily with the already existing interior decoration. Moreover, increasing the amount of greenery on your desk rhymes with less fatigue and headaches during working hours. For those who don't have a green thumb, there are several plants that require very little attention and maintenance. Aloe vera is a good example.

Invest the walls

For an office as cocooning as it is functional, it is important to take advantage of the walls by installing shelves to decorate as desired! Small pots with succulents, holiday souvenirs, playful pencil holders, magazines, lamps, fairy lights, candles, vases or decorative frames, you are spoiled for choice for. Another option to invest in the office wall? As you know, choosing the right colors is essential for a successful cocooning decor and the working atmosphere in general. That said, investing in an original or trompe-l'oeil wallpaper is enough to transform the workspace into a separate cocoon. Plain or patterned, this type of wall covering is also a great way to make the office corner stand out in another room. Favor soft shades,delicate and welcoming like greige and ecru to get you down to work in a cozy atmosphere that boosts creativity. The softness of these complexions lets you go for accessories.

Lighting update

As you understood, the successful home office can be located anywhere you want. However, when it comes to a small apartment, the choice of location is limited to a few options: under the stairs, in the attic or in the bedroom dressing room. Setting up a cocooning office without a window is a real decorative challenge! Lack of light, feeling of being locked away, blind rooms often get a bad press. However, their decoration is not an impossible mission. So, after the light tones and touches of greenery distilled everywhere, it's the lighting's turn to do its magic in the workspace to make it more cocooning. The ideal will be to play and vary with the different light sources. So opt for indirect ceiling lighting or for several various sources to be modulated according to your preferences and needs. Candles and tealight holders are also welcome to create a cozy atmosphere.

Focus on cocooning furniture

For a cozy, chic office that is absolutely right in line with current decor trends, we rethink the dimensions of the furniture, favoring space-saving furniture. As practical as they are aesthetic, they are a safe bet to set up a work area as in a comfortable cocoon. And because the cocooning decor comes straight from the Nordic countries, we choose its office furniture and decorative objects in the Scandinavian or Scandinavian style. They are complemented with a soft or ethnic rug, a soft chunky blanket, patterned cushions or a sheepskin rug to further enhance the cozy character of the workspace and the room where it is located.
