Working from the comfort of your home has become increasingly popular and isn't going anywhere, anytime soon.

When your home has become your office, it creates a fine line between your work/life balance. It is important to maintain that work/life balance, but is that easier said than done? Maybe, but it will help by creating a dedicated area that has a professional appeal and promotes productivity.

Here are some tips to help inspire your ideal work-from-home space:

This may be a space that was already designed as an "office" where you had your computer or laptop sitting on a desk. Or it may be that living room you never use anyway, a loft area or a separate area in a finished basement. Regardless of what the space is currently, make sure it is a space that offers privacy, away from distractions and well lit. Invest in a noise machine or headphones, to help soundproof your space, to maximize your focus.

This is your permanent workspace. Make sure that you obtain the proper office furniture. The perfect office chair should be designed for efficiency and comfort. The perfect desk fits your space and organizational needs. Does it have drawers? Is it an L-shape or a rectangle? Maybe it's a standing desk. Whatever your needs are, make sure that you find what works for you in the long run.

Organization is key. Grab some desk organizers, baskets, etc., to keep your workspace organized and tidy. 

Let's face it. We spend more time working than anything else. Make your workspace an area you want to be in. A little paint, framed photos and artwork, inspirational quotes...whatever it may be, surround yourself with things you appreciate and love!

Hust like you used to walk out the door at your office at the end of the day, you need to make sure that you are doing the same thing in your work from home space. Just because the space is easily accessible, 24/7, doesn't mean it should be. Establish your work schedule and maintain your work/life balance and stick to it.

Finding the perfect office setting and creating the ideal work from home space may not be easy, but it is important to ensure it's a space you enjoy being in, can find your focus and be just as productive, if not more, than if you were in a professional office setting.

Your work environment plays a key role in your work happiness, so make sure you take the time to create a space that inspires you every day!
