The latest research findings from Global Workplace Analytics provides insight into the state of telecommuting in the United States. According to the report published in 2017, telecommuters account for 2.9% of the labor force. This number seems trivial, but it turns out to be approximately 3.9 million workers.

If you’re one of the millions of people who work from home, it pays to set up a dedicated space that is free from distractions. Our San Diego house painters recommend:

  • Finding an Ideal Space – Whether you live in a larger single-family home or a smaller apartment, the key to designing a productive home office is pinpointing an area that is quiet and less likely to cause disturbances. Think a garage, a dedicated room, or even a walk-in closet, for example.
  • Make Small Adjustments or Repairs – Once you’ve identified the best section of the home to work in, it’s time to make a few changes. Depending on the space selected, minimal or extensive work may be required, such as house painting, insulating, or adding a fan or space heater – to help keep you comfortable throughout the workday.
  • Choose a Paint Color That Boosts Energy – In addition to investing in ergonomically sound furniture, zoning off this area with a dedicated paint color can help you separate work from home life. Experts suggest using bold colors to increase your energy levels. As a long-time house painting company in San Diego, however, we suggest choosing a paint color that fits your style preferences. A calmer paint color, for example, could lower stress levels and subsequently help you accomplish more.
