If our working conditions are shortening our time spent close to nature, we can invite nature inside our working space. Introduced as an “Ecco Style” this home office trend of 2022 incorporates as much nature inside the room as possible. Beautiful decorative trees, bushes or flowers in beautiful handcrafted clay pots will make your work space calmer, cosier and airy. Plants bring tranquillity and composure which are so crucial for your productivity and creativity. Blended in with the wooden desk and chair and other natural materials, greenery provides a perfect atmosphere, a real sanctuary for work and rest.

Colours strongly affect our minds and working environment as well, correspondingly. Bold colours can distract our attention and focus, which can cause an overwork rapidly. It is a better idea to go for classic colours and neutral palettes to keep the calm atmosphere. If you are a big lover of bold colours, mix it up with neutral accessories and decor elements such as rugs, carpets, curtains, etc. Neutral tones combined with strong colours like deep greens, reds or blues will continue to be a go-to colour scheme for 2022.
