Working from home allows you to create a personalized space that boosts productivity and focus while reflecting your personality. While your home office is a place to accomplish tasks and goals, the space should also serve you, such as window treatments. New blinds or shades can keep the space comfortable and block any sunlight from glaring in your eyes or on your screens.
Our
Window Magic Blinds & Drapery design team stresses the importance of updating home offices in the New Year, especially given the average amount of time people spend in them per year. Our team has compiled a list of five contemporary home office ideas, including incorporating Hunter Douglas window treatments.
1. Filter Light and Protect Privacy With Silhouette® Sheer Shades
Sheer shades adorn your windows and provide a beautiful appearance, filtering sunlight into a soft, radiant glow. Hunter Douglas
Silhouette® Sheer Shades create a calming ambiance conducive to a consistent workflow. They have smooth, adjustable S-shaped vanes tucked between two sheer fabrics.
You won’t need to adjust your Silhouette® Sheer Shades throughout the day constantly. They also offer UV protection, protecting you and your home’s interior.
2. Use Multifunctional Furniture
In addition to adding new Hunter Douglas window treatments, you can streamline your workspace with new furniture that serves multiple purposes. A desk or bench with built-in storage can keep clutter out of sight, while a stylish bookshelf can double as a decorative piece. Look for furniture with clean lines and neutral colors to complement a contemporary aesthetic.
For smaller spaces, consider a wall-mounted desk or foldable furniture. Both save space without sacrificing utility, making them ideal for compact home offices.
3. Try Layered Lighting
Lighting sets the tone for a home office and should be functional and pleasing to the eye. Layered lighting is trending for 2025, which combines overhead lighting with accent lights to create this unique effect.
Desk lamps with adjustable arms are practical for focused work, while floor lamps with dimmers can add backdrops for virtual meetings or brainstorming sessions.
4. Incorporate Contemporary Artwork and Greenery
Inject your personality into your home office with carefully chosen artwork that resonates with you. Contemporary paintings, photographs, or prints add visual interest. These elements should inspire and delight you as you work.
Greenery is another way to liven up your workspace. Choose low-maintenance plants, like succulents, to bring color and a touch of nature. As an added perk, plants improve air quality.
5. Include Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades
If you prefer a streamlined home office aesthetic,
roller shades make light control and privacy a breeze. Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades are contemporary, clean window treatments and come in over 350 fabric options, including sheer to opaque opacities, plus various solids, prints, textures, and globally sourced fabrics.
