If you work from home creating the right space can be the difference between being distracted or being productive.  As a person who works from home much of the time, I understand the challenge of staying focused on work matters and not allowing the personal 'to-do list' to distract you.  By having a dedicated and personally appealing office space this becomes less of an issue.
As you can see in this photo the draperies help to bring in interest and personal style without being boring or over-stimulating.  There are a variety of ways to make your home office, work for you.  Having colours that have enough energy to keep you focused, yet not to energizing that you are worn out before you get to lunch.  Keep your space clear of clutter and organized for easy access to anything needed to successfully complete your job.  Have some art on the walls that motivate you and bring out your creativity.  A real plant or two is great to keep your air quality at a maximum, as long as you enjoy caring for them.
We have enough stress in our lives and by designing a home office that balances creative energy and productivity without over-taxing us, work becomes an enjoyable part of the day.  If you feel overwhelmed with the task of creating a home office that is best suited for you, hiring a professional designer is the solution.
May you find the style that brings out the best of you in your work.
