Design your ideal workspace

Take control into your own hands! No more boring, uninspired office-environments. Keep the basics of your work-environment calm, but experiment with different colour accents and fabrics. A plant on your desk is not only stylish but is also proven to reduce stress. Simple tips which can create a cosy atmosphere, promoting productivity.

Sit comfortably for peak productivity

If you have a comfortable chair, it is easier to focus during your workday. Your posture matters and sitting upright, straight and looking forward is important for your neck and back. Invest in a good chair that you can adjust so that your back is fully supported. For optimal comfort you could also put a Stoov Big Hug heated blanket on your chair. Out infrared warmth technology relaxes your muscles and helps release tension in the body. Say goodbye to your stiff back and say hello to productive warmth.

Stimulate your creativity

Research discovered that people are more creative in a sound environment of 70 decibel which is about the noise level of a coffee grinder. Try working with the sound of a coffee bar on in the background to discover if this boosts your creativity. Aside from background noises of 70 decibels, music can also do wonders for your concentration. If you are finding it difficult to concentrate at home we recommend you put on some background music and there is a big chance that you will notice your concentration increase.

Keep yourself warm at work

It’s getting colder and that naturally means we turn on the heaters. It's a solution to keeping warm that isn't the most sustainable and it can cost you a lot in energy bills. Working in a cold environment can be uncomfortable and affect your productivity and concentration. Thats where Stoov comes in! With Stoov's cordless infrared warmth you can stay cosy while working from home sustainably and without adding to your energy bill.

Stay active with daylight & frequent breaks

Daylight is a necessity for your health and wellbeing, so how to make sure you get enough light while working from home? Set up your workspace near a window, so you can absorb daylight and get that extra vitamin D even during the winter months. The temptation to keep on working and stay seated can be difficult especially when things are busy. But staring at a screen the whole day isn't great for your health or productivity. Help boost your concentration and your creativity with some movement. Try to get some fresh air during your lunch break to clear your mind, get some vitamin D and keep your body moving.
