DIY duo, Heather and Sarah from Oak and Orange have shared their tips on how to liven up the office space. After their most recent home office makeover, they have shared their best-kept DIY secrets that'll have your space looking fabulous- no matter what you're working with.
Preparation
Of course, before one starts any project, preparation is key. While a relatively simple DIY, there are a few key things one must prep before commencing their office makeover. Sarah and Heather recommend these few key tips:
- Consider practicality: When planning an office DIY, allow for ample storage as it allows for a clear workspace, free of cords and other distractions.
- Mood board: Sarah and Heather recommend physical mood boarding to inform design choices. By visualising your dream space, project work can be completed with ease. Partnering with Brother Australia, they recommend the Brother INKvestment home office printer for any printing needs.
- Measure your space: One of most important tools in any home project is a tape measure. Before making any purchases, measure your space to ensure you have enough room for all your essential items.
- Check the placement of power points: Checking power point placement can ensure their locations are suitable for your room layout.
It is important to invest in necessary tools like your desk, office chair and printer. The MFC-J4440DW is perfect for any work-from-home set up.
