David Lorenzo shares some tips setting up the perfect home office. As someone who’s recently built a home office, the first few are VERY important:

  • Start from scratch. Clear out your entire office and paint it a fresh color that inspires you or makes you feel focused. Stay away from reds and blues; choose energizing greens, comforting golds or pale yellows. Color is a bold and inexpensive way to transform a room.
  • Organize. When it comes to organizing, think modular, so you can move pieces around to suit your various needs and create more desk space. Determine which items you will need easy access to and arrange them accordingly. Bins and boxes are great for storing the things you’re not using all the time and give the room a clean and organized look.
  • Declutter your desktop. This applies to your virtual desktop as well as your physical one. A recent survey by Harris Interactive revealed that 61 percent of PC owners are more likely to store their music, photos and other personal files on their computer rather than anywhere else in their house. However, it can be frustrating if the information you need isn’t easy to locate because you’ve forgotten the file name or the folder where it’s stored.
