So you’re stuck at home. You might be working, you may not be working, but you are still at home. It’s not an ideal situation, but it could be worse. At first, staying at home is relatively fun. You can take your time at work; you can get to all the jobs you typically don’t have time to do. However, it only takes a couple of weeks for you to feel restless and on edge. 

What you need to do to overcome this is to feel comfortable. This comfort eases your mind and worries, but it will also give you something to do. If you’ve run out of things to keep you busy, creating a comfortable home environment could be for you. 

Getting rid of clutter

Clutter is something that no one can avoid. It creeps up on you. You realize that you have entirely lost control of the organization of your home. Getting rid of clutter is a good start,  the easiest way to feel comfortable at home.

Take a weekend to go through each house and cut down on clutter, rearrange shelves and boxes hidden under the bed, and liberate yourself from the ever-present mess that permeates your house. With a tidy home, you’ll enjoy a tidy mind, making you feel much better. 

Improve lighting fixtures

From natural light to dimmable UFO LED High Bay lights, your lighting fixtures have a massive impact on how comfortable your house is. The natural light is essential for getting the vitamins you need to keep energy levels up, which is crucial when you have nothing to do, while dimmable lighting allows you to adjust the brightness to suit the time of day. 

Bright fluorescent lights can wreak havoc on our heads, especially if they are still on late into the evening. It becomes difficult to switch off and get to sleep, which causes a snowball effect of exhaustion the next day. If this sounds at all familiar, changing the lighting could be what you need. 

Bring out the memories

There’s a reason people bring framed photographs of their family to the office. It gives them an anchor to drive themselves through the day, looking forward to getting home and spending time with their loved ones. 

Working from home means this isn’t the case anymore. However, you can still use the positive energy that photographs bring to make you feel connected to others. Putting pictures around your workspace will help to keep your spirits up. Additionally, it could also inspire you to reach out to those you’ve not spoken to in a while. 

Comfort confirmed

A lot of feeling comfortable is the mental aspect. If your mind doesn’t feel cozy at home, you can’t expect the rest of you to feel that way. You can work remotely with ease or relax while watching TV without feeling guilty. These ideas are something for you to consider.
