A balanced home sets the foundation for a balanced life to unfold. At Create & Cultivate, we apply this same principle to our workspace—which, for many of us, has taken on new meaning this year as WFH has become the new norm. Whether you’ve temporarily transformed your guest room into a home office or simply designated a corner of your kitchen table to your workspace, the importance of having a dedicated place to work within your sanctuary has never been more abundantly clear. We tapped three entrepreneurial and influential women to showcase simple ways to level up your WFH setup and maximize productivity with Thomasville accents and accessories — proof that small changes can make a BIG impression.

Read on to hear their tips to level up your WFH setup.

1.  An ergonomic office chair is a great investment piece because our chairs are the place many of us spend the majority of our WFH hours. We produce some of our best work when we feel comfortable and supported, so finding a great quality office chair to do just that can help boost productivity while elevating your workspace. 

2. Never underestimate the power of a little extra comfort and support in your workspace. Adding a plush accent pillow with a pop of color can help bring the space to life while also helping provide upper back support in your work chair. 

3. For the ultimate comfort starting from the ground up, adding a soft shag rug adds an extra element of warmth to any space!

1. An organized home echoes a balanced state of mind. Between busy schedules, commitments, and to-do lists, it’s important to keep life organized to maximize productivity.

2. Begin by creating storage space, so you can declutter and rearrange. Drawer organizers are great because they give smaller objects a designated place. Reducing clutter means you’ll spend less time looking for things, and more time focused on your to-do list.

3. Whether you have a designated home office, or are utilizing your kitchen as your workspace, our WFH environment can quickly become overrun with clutter. Use separate systems to organize your work life, especially if you share a space for work and household duties.

1. A great office chair is a must when working from home! This Thomasville office chair is supportive and functional, but also gorgeous! It’s completely changed my opinion of the typical “office chair”. Yes, it’s easy to pull up any old chair you have lying around the house, but taking care of your back and body is important when you spend so much time sitting at a desk.

2. A large, cozy rug really ties a space together. I love using warm neutrals to create an inviting space for productivity and creativity. I always recommend choosing a larger sized rug that will really fill the room. You want all of your furniture to fit comfortably on the rug with room to spare! This new rug is a much better fit for my office and makes the space feel larger.

3. Little accents, like this lumbar pillow, add personality to a space and also tie together your home with your home office. When the rooms flow seamlessly together, you’ll be more likely to enjoy spending time there. Maybe this becomes your new favorite reading corner - whether it’s a budget report or a new novel.
