AGILE WORKING

-

Currently more than four million people in the UK regularly work from home, and this figure is set to rise, with half the workforce expected to be working in an agile way by 2020. This means that while a home office was once regarded as a luxury, it’s now becoming a must-have, because tempting though it may be to work wherever takes your fancy – on the sofa, hunched over the kitchen worktop or even in bed – you’ll be more productive and comfortabl­e with a properly set up workspace. Even if it has to be a laptop on the kitchen table, having access to natural light and a view outside, surroundin­g yourself with efficient storage, a few favourite lovely things, and plants or flowers, will all help to create a happy and inspiring environmen­t.

In her latest book, Natural Living Style, interiors stylist and bestsellin­g author Selina Lake has found some truly gorgeous home working spaces that inspired us to show you how to create an office in your home that not only looks fabulous but feels good too. Here, we’ve also added some great wellbeing ideas and tips to help you boost your productivi­ty and re-energise your space – and yourself – so you can really get the most of out where you work.
