Struggling to concentrate while working from home? Overwhelmed by distractions or hesitant to show your workspace on Zoom calls with clients? Whether you’re making do with the kitchen table, repurposing a spare room, or seeking a fresh revamp for your usual home office, it’s time for a change.
Tips for Creating a Stress Free Office
There’s loads of advice available on creating the ideal office space, from optimizing natural light to managing cords. While you’re likely aware of the functional aspects like proper chair height or task lighting, aesthetics and ambiance are equally crucial.
It’s not just about how the office looks, but how it feels. A workspace should inspire and invigorate you. Moreover, if you’re hosting clients, the atmosphere should exude comfort and professionalism. Remember, a well-designed office is both efficient and evocative!
Design Ideas to Make your Office Serene and Calm
In designing this office, my aim was to create the energy of tranquility amidst the chaos. With today’s challenges, a serene home workspace is essential. Here’s how I infused serenity into this design:
Nature’s Embrace: Merge your space with the great outdoors. Whether it’s an inspiring outdoor view, nature-themed decor, or lush plants, let nature be a prominent guest. In this layout, my “Spring” fractal energy art from my collection infuses the essence of springtime greenery. Accentuating the theme, I’ve included plant motifs, florals, and bird-inspired art.
Palette of Peace: Opt for soothing hues like blues, greens, and gentle yellows. For this room, I drew inspiration from the woodland view outside, ensuring a harmonious and calming color flow.
The wallpaper, reminiscent of water, embodies the essence of fluidity and “going with the flow.”
Illuminate Naturally: Optimize natural light by choosing rooms with ample windows, complemented by window treatments that welcome sunlight. Here, textured semi-sheer draperies maintain a light, breezy feeling.
Streamline and Store: Minimize clutter by integrating concealed storage solutions. In this setup, bookshelf cabinets effortlessly stow away files, paperwork, and other essentials, ensuring a fresh, clean and organized energy for visiting clients. Clutter can block the flow of prosperity.
Embrace Comfort: Transition from the rigid aesthetics of conventional office furniture. Choose soft, inviting materials for seating; like the plush velvet-covered chairs in this design, which offer both comfort and color. A productive and comfortable workspace can help attract financial success.
A Haven of Calm: Seek a secluded, noise-free zone or one where doors can seal off distractions. Should ambient noise or a sense of serenity be desired, incorporate a sound system for gentle melodies or calming nature sounds. The colors of nature such as blues and greens are also calming.
Harness Energy Art to Magnetize Wealth and Prosperity.
Energy art seamlessly intertwines the abstract with the tangible, channeling spiritual energies through vibrant colors, patterns, symbols, and the artist’s fervent intentions. It serves not only as a visual feast but as a beacon, attracting harmonious energies. The “Spring” piece in this design, painted in prosperous shades of green, symbolizes renewal, invigoration, and flourishing growth. Evoking the Wood Element from Chinese traditions and Feng Shui, it embodies strength, warmth, and idealism. Let such art be your muse, amplifying the energies you channel in your endeavors.
Are you trying to work at home and finding it hard to stay focused? Feeling stressed with everything going on around you? Are you uncomfortable connecting with clients online through Zoom because you don’t want them to see the background of your office or workspace?
Right now, you may not have the perfect home office. You may be working from whatever space is available such as your kitchen table. Or maybe you have converted a spare room to make an office space. Maybe you normally work at home but you are ready for a change.

Love love love all the colors and pieces you’ve chosen for this office design! Blues and greens are my faves! And what a brilliant zoom background it would be!
Thank you Janet!! I love it too, wish I had it here in my home! I used it as a Zoom background on a couple of calls already and it has worked perfectly!
Mary Ann, so many great suggestions. We recently moved the Mister from the kitchen table to the guest bedroom. Since we seem to be in this for the long haul, we felt that we needed our table back to ‘normal’.
Thanks Sheri! Yes, a kitchen table can get hard since so many other things need to happen there and its hard to always move everything. If he ever has client meetings, hopefully he will find a virtual background helpful. Thanks for reading!
All your points are so right on to help create a calming but fruitful space for a home office. My favs are cut the clutter, add natural light, plants, and the best for me is privacy. Thanks for this post especially now!
Thanks Mitzi! I think those are my favorites too. I really need quiet when I am working, so having some privacy and a door I can shut is a must for me. Thanks for reading.
I love the velvet chairs! What a great touch for a home office space! Nice job!
Thanks Heather! Me too, I feel like the office should also be soft and plush so you want to stay a while:)
So lovely! Remember I said green is supposed to be a good office color? I looked it up and I found this ” Green is calming, suggesting security, growth and money.” It does need to be balanced with other colors which you’ve done well here.
Thank you! So great to know! Alot of my choice was about trying to bring the outside in from the colors of the outdoor view and highlighting my fractal art which was green, but that sounds perfect for an office!
Your projects are so beautiful! Great tips!!
Thank you so much Leslie! And thanks for stopping by to read my post.
Movement is a great antidote to stress, and you should always incorporate short movement breaks into your work day. As little as five minutes of exercise can be enough to reduce feelings of stress and frustration. Walk a few laps around your home, do a 10 minute yoga routine, dance, lift weights, anything really works. Good article with an excellent way of presentation. Keep it up. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for reading and I agree, especially with breaks for dancing and walks!
