As return-to-work plans get delayed again, it could be time for a home-office refresh
Even those who already have a dedicated workspace might want to improve their set up. After all this time, "their makeshift office space could likely use an upgrade," McCaskill said.
Now is the time to invest in a few key essentials, such as a file cabinet to keep clutter at bay or a laptop stand, which raises the height of your screen and can help you and your coworkers see eye to eye over Zoom.When it comes to video calls, lighting is key. "Facing a window for some indirect natural light is a great option, or you can purchase a ring light if you want to take it to the next level," McCaskill said.
Otherwise, layer a desk lamp, sconces and task lighting, Rachman suggested. "Find a beautiful light and add a clip-on task light, there are tons of options that are super attractive."While your home office may have been purely functional until now, adding a few personal touches will make a big difference if you'll be working from home longer-term, McCaskill said.
Hanging art or wallpaper can provide a much-needed boost, Rachman said, "it doesn't have to be complicated and expensive." Rachman also recommends a fabric covered bulletin board or a big mirror to warm up your space.
