Transforming Your Garden Into an Inspiring Place to Work
If you work for yourself or you work for someone else, you may have the option to work from anywhere, at least sometimes. This can include working from home, but on a nice day, it can be more inspiring to work outdoors. This may make you more productive. Here are some tips to transform your garden so it becomes a hive of productivity for you.
Use lighting
Lighting can create the perfect work atmosphere, whether you’re working outdoors in the shade, or during twilight hours. A festoon garden light kit can be arranged in a way which makes it easy to see what you’re doing, but also to create the mood you want to achieve. At Ultra LEDs, you will find a wide range of outdoor lighting, and these are available in white, warm white or multicoloured. They’re more affordable than you might expect, and you can choose the shapes which will look best in your garden. They’re often more affordable than expected and can be a practical yet decorative addition to your outdoor setup.
If you are exploring options of lighting stores hyannis (or elsewhere), you’ll find a variety of functional and aesthetic choices that blend well with modern garden and patio designs.
You can also make use of the lighting when you’re not at work and are entertaining guests.
Make it comfortable, but not too much
Make your garden a comfortable place to work, but not so comfortable that you doze off halfway through working on your laptop! So, a big chair which is cosy but helps your posture is a must. Use a foldable laptop tray as your desk, preferably one which lets you adjust the height and position of your laptop. Avoid using a sun lounger where you might be tempted to lie back and close your eyes for a few seconds.
Stay out of the sun
Create a shaded area of your garden to work in, so you can avoid being directly in the sun. Besides not being good for your skin, you will struggle to see your laptop screen. This could mean you have to squint and lean forward or strain your neck, and this is bad for your posture.
Create your own garden office
You could use a garden canopy to create a working space during the day. This is also where outdoor lighting can be useful. If you find a canopy that offers a little more privacy than an open space, it might mean sacrificing some of the natural daylight.
The canopy can also be used as a place to relax and spend time with family during the evenings and on weekends. Anything portable is a good idea. This makes setting up and packing away easier, and you don’t have to worry about leaving valuable and essential work items outside at night. If you need access to office supplies, then a small trolley on wheels is easy to transport into your garden.
Music
Depending on where you live, there may be distractions such as the sounds of heavy traffic, or neighbours in their gardens. So invest in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones and listen to some music which doesn’t distract from your work.
With the right lighting and additions to your garden, you can combine your desire to be outdoors with having to work.
