In an era where we are increasingly working from home or in offices that lack personal character, are dim and cold, the atmosphere we create around us plays a decisive role in our psychology and productivity. A dim and boring office can act as a drag — but with a little attention, it can be transformed into a space you love to be in, full of inspiration and calm (calm as much as possible).
1. Lighting that Refreshes
Good lighting is the basis for any workspace. Prefer natural light where possible, because it helps with concentration and improves mood. If your office does not have enough natural light, invest in lamps with warm lighting and the ability to adjust the intensity — this way you will be able to adjust the light depending on the time of day and your mood. A lamp with wooden elements will also add a warm, natural touch to the space.
2. Plants = Vitality
Plants are not just decoration, they are small pieces of nature that bring life and freshness to your office. In addition, they help improve air quality and have a proven positive effect on stress and productivity. You can easily choose plants that do not require much care, such as ficus, sansevieria or aloe. Place them in simple, minimalist pots that suit your aesthetic.
3. Organization with Style and Functionality
A tidy office is a clear mind. Invest in beautiful and functional organizational accessories: boxes, baskets, and organizers in natural wood tones or beige colors, which match a minimalist or Japandi aesthetic. This way, you will always have the necessary things close to you without creating visual clutter and the office will look more welcoming and neat.
4. Bring Nature Inside with Fragrances
The power of scent in psychology is priceless. A subtle but quality scent can lift your mood and help you focus.
Choose scents like:
The woody, clean scent of Palo Santo is ideal for clearing the energy of your space and creating a calm, focused atmosphere. A natural booster for your mental clarity and well-being.
Vanilla Dreams
A subtle and sweet scent that helps you calm down and focus without tiring you out. Ideal for moments when you need sweet, gentle energy and a clear mind.
Library
For those who want a warmer and earthier atmosphere, Library with notes of almond, amber and sandalwood is perfect for heavy or more classically decorated offices. It creates a sense of security and warmth.
Juicy Orange
If you feel like your mood needs a boost, the fresh and lively scent of orange will give you a strong dose of positive energy and renewal.
Salted Caramel
And for those moments when the day was difficult and you want to sweeten up, the warm, sweet smell of caramel will embrace you and transform your space into a small sanctuary of relaxation.
5. Create the Ideal Relaxation Corner
An office should not only be functional, but also welcoming. Make sure you have a corner where you can take a break: add a soft blanket or a cushion for the seat, and a small table for your coffee or tea. These small touches make the space warmer and invite you to rest, giving a balance between work and well-being.
With these simple steps, your office can become a space that not only helps you work more efficiently, but also offers you peace and pleasure.
Don't forget that the atmosphere plays a big role in your everyday life — and with Ethra Essentials' quality aromatic products you can bring this warmth and freshness to your space, without compromising on aesthetics and quality.
