Interior Designer Inside Tips:

• We’ve partnered with Ammie Kim, who has been featured by HGTV, the LA Time, New Star Magazine, and has previously partnered with Tiffany & Co. She gave Irvine Moms some key tips to make your home office the best room in the house!
  • Colors and designs she’d recommend for home offices:
    • Subtle, calming tones are ideal for an office or a study area. For example, a neutral Off-White color or subtle gray is simple, versatile, and charming and won’t be too overwhelming of a color for when you’re trying to concentrate on important documents. If you want to add a pop of color, a light green shade is the perfect go-to for any office. Not only does it bring us back to nature with its leafy green tint, but it additionally sets a soothing, relaxing environment to focus in.
      • She recommends the following colors:
        • Benjamin Moore: Soft fern 2444-40
        • Sherwin Williams: Repose Gray 7015
  • Tips on making home offices much more comfortable and easier to work in:
    • A comfortable, high quality chair is essential to any workspace. Working from home requires sitting all day at the desk, so it is important that your chair is supporting your body and making you feel comfortable, so you are able to focus on your tasks with ease.
  • One thing every home office needs:
    • Natural lighting is the best source of light when studying or doing office work. To best achieve this, place your desk facing the window instead of a blank wall. Furthermore, fresh flowers or plants can revive a workspace. In addition to this, studies show that aromatherapy enhances productivity.
