1. A customized desk
The desk is the basic requirement for a well-functioning home office. If you don't have a desk, you usually don't work on your bed, couch, or kitchen table anymore. None of the options listed above are helpful for your productivity. The first project is a custom desk. You have complete freedom here to design the desk of your dreams. Whether you want it to be elegant and modern or cozy is up to you. Of course, you don't have to build the entire base yourself, as you can order a simple desk and then customize it from there.
2. A cork board for memos
A pin board is a DIY project that can turn your home office into a work zone where you feel ready to wipe out the day. In addition, the construction does not take long and you do not need a large amount of accessories. All you need is a pin board and some decorations. The options for customization are endless. You can tie a ribbon around the middle of your pin board to divide it into sections. You can also paint part of the board to organize your memos.
3. A storage box for supplies
When you work from home, you can never have enough pens, paper, and pens. But even if you have a desk full of drawers, you might run out of space. This is where additional storage boxes come into play. Sure, you could buy average units on Amazon and have a place to store things, but does that help you feel stable at work? A storage box can be anything you want. Whether it is an old treasure chest that you had as a child or something that you picked up in an online shop is entirely up to you. The beauty comes in adaptation. Remember, DIY is all about your style and preferences, so have fun.
4. A telephone stand
An essential tool in your home office area is your computer. Your phone will most likely also play a role in your new work-at-home life. However, it will prove tedious to carry one of the two devices around all day. Your desk holds your computer well, but where's your phone? Most likely, keep your phone open next to your computer while you work.
Regularly looking at your phone can cause neck pain, but a DIY project can help you. You only need two blocks of wood to make a stand for your phone. Then you can customize the colors and accessories. Alternatively, you can order a special phone holder from Amazon or similar. Job done! Now you have a phone stand that you can use to track notifications without burdening yourself.
