Your Guide to Home Office Makeovers for the Colder Months

Seasonal Home Office makeover: create an invitng and productinve WORKSPACE

As the days get shorter and the temperature drops, it’s time to give your home office a seasonal upgrade. Here’s how to turn your workspace into a warm, productive haven—no pumpkin spice required.

1. The Big Light Stays Off!

Harsh, bright lights are out. Soft, warm lighting is in. Table and floor lamps > ceiling lights will make all the difference. Swap those sterile bulbs for something that creates a warm, inviting glow. And if you’re missing the sun, a daylight lamp might just be your new best friend.

2. Rugs are Your Best Friend

Cold floors? Hard pass. Throw down a plush rug to keep your feet warm and your space looking sharp. Go for something with a deep, rich color to add a bit of warmth and sophistication.

3. This Is Your Sign to Upgrade the Desk Chair

The reality is you likely spend 40 hours (hopefully less) in your chair every week - do your future self a favor and upgrade to something more ergonomic than that extra dining chair you may have ended up using as a placeholder. You don’t need to sacrifice form for function - opt for something sleek that marries visual appeal with solid support - because your back deserves better. 

4. Seasonal Touches

Add a few seasonal pieces that say, “I’m ready for fall”. A sleeker approach to seasonal decor makes a space feel elevated, modern, and ultimately homier. Think chunky textured pillows, a simple plaid throw in darker tones, or even some thrifted vintage brass candlesticks to warm it up.

5. Reorganize Like a Pro

It can be easy to set a room up and never look back, but is your current layout really serving you? Give your office layout a once-over, and don’t hesitate to play around. More natural light from simply pivoting your desk closer to the window? Yes, please. Decluttered desk for a clearer mind? Absolutely. Sometimes, these simple changes that reflect the ways we actually use a space are all it takes to feel more productive and actually get things done.
