Natural living ideas from Bravo London
With most of the nation enduring nearly a year of working from home, when it comes to creating that healthy work-life balance we can all do with some tips for working from home efficiency without taking its toll on our health. Whether it be home office ideas you’re looking for, storage space or simple solutions like adding in some greenery to give a fresh botanical feel – why not look at scenting the air with an uplifting aroma?
Your home office should inspire you creatively, as well as supporting your physical, mental health and wellbeing.
Bravo have created an inspiration guide on how to boost your health and productivity within your home office environment.
1. Storage is key
Short on space but don’t want to compromise on storage? Fear not, opt for desks with built-in storage solutions to keep unwanted clutter out of sight, especially with all those video calls where fellow colleagues can get a glimpse of your makeshift office setup.
Bravo home office solutions have a fantastic array of bespoke built-in office storage options to accommodate all your working from home needs no matter your space. If on the other hand you have space to play with, then you will want to keep your filing systems behind cupboard doors, with some added open shelving to display books, photos and decorative objects.
2. Add some plants
Adding a few plants into your home office environment will instantly create a more appealing environment by bringing the outside indoors. Small plants like succulents continue to be a hugely popular trend to have scattered inside shelving or around your desk and require little maintenance.
Larger leafy pot plants like rubber plants and Swiss cheese plants sat in raffia storage baskets continue to be an Instagram hit for an instant way to add an impact to a space and the health benefits that come with adding a touch of nature indoors.
I was mindful to choose an accent colour that worked with the palette of the natural materials. Olive green, one of my favourite colours to use in the home, works really well on the cushion, throw and accessories. It sits beautifully with the tan leather of both the ottoman and classic Corbusier chair in the background.

3. Good lighting
Good lighting is key for all those video calls, too bright can make you appear ghostlike on calls and too dark your appearance will become fuzzy. Not to mention dim or overbearing lighting can have a direct effect on your focus and creative output – therefore, be sure to carefully plan how you will add subtle lighting to your home office environment.
