Create your ideal workspace

Take control into your own hands! No more boring, uninspired office-environments. Keep the basics of your work-environment calm, but experiment with different colour accents and fabrics. A plant on your desk is very stylish and reduces stress. In this way you create a more homey atmosphere, which makes it a lot more relaxing to work in.

Sit comfortably

If you have a comfortable chair, it is easier to focus during your workday and sitting up straight and looking forward is important for your neck and back. Invest in a good chair that you can adjust, supports your back and sets you in the right position. For optimal comfort you could also put a Stoov Big Hug heated blanket on your chair. The infrared heating relaxes your muscles and helps you sit in a less tense position. Say goodbye to your stiff back!

Stimulate your creativity

Research discovered that people achieve more creativity in a sound environment of 70 decibels: just about the sound of a coffee grinder. Try working with the sound of a coffee bar on the background and find out if this boosts your creativity. Besides a sound environment of 70 decibels, music also seems to do wonders for your concentration. If it’s getting hard to concentrate, put on some nice music and there is a big chance that your concentration will be right back.

Keep yourself warm

It’s getting colder and that naturally means we turn on the heating, which is not only bad for the environment but it is also not great for your energy bill. Working in a cold environment is not always healthy for you either and can be bad for your concentration. So what can you do to take care of the environment, while still feeling warm? Use a Stoov heated cushion! Stoov will warm you directly, instead of the room around you. This means that you can turn down your heating, which is better for the environment and your energy bill while making your interior even more stylish!

Daylight and frequent breaks

Daylight is a necessity for your health. Make sure your workspace is near a window, so you absorb daylight and get some vitamin D. The temptation to keep on working and staying seated is bigger when working from home. But staring a whole day uninterrupted at a computer screen is not healthy. Variety and movement is a lot more healthy. Try to get some fresh air in your break to clear your mind, get some vitamin D and take short breaks during the day!
