How to set up a productive environment

If you work from home, here's how to set up a productive environment.

In connection with the global pandemic, many employees were sent home by their employers to work remotely. This was done, of course, to reduce the risk of infection in public transport and in cramped places, such as an office where many people meet. There is a separate category of workers called freelancers. They are already used to working from home. But for those who are accustomed to the usual routine of office space, interacting with colleagues, and even a chair of their own, it can be extremely difficult to get used to children running around and the lack of the necessary work tools that are often readily available at the office.

We always talk about the importance of having something nice on the walls (fint på väggarna) to give energy to the room. But some environments need even more adaptation than fine paintings on the walls (fina tavlor på väggarna) for it to fulfill its function in the best way. That is why we at Lexan Decor have now made this post about how to create an efficient workplace at home.

In the modern world with its mobile communication and access to the Internet offers unlimited possibilities.

Five important steps to succeed in creating a good work in a home environment

1. Ergonomics in the workplace

Here you have to be a little selfish and take the best table and chair for yourself. The children can color their drawings in the kitchen, it is after all most important that the main workforce and source of income are given the best conditions. Cover for unnecessary light sources; when darkness falls, use an adjustable lamp with even lighting. Do not let your elbows hang from the tabletop, if you do, your shoulders and shoulder straps will probably start to hurt after a while. When working from home, adjust your sitting position gradually. Because we do not know how long the quarantine will last, so it is important to take this seriously to avoid vision or back problems.

Working in a separate room is perfect, but not everyone has such living conditions. Draw for curtains and use screens, the goal is of course that the presence of others in the home should not be disturbing.

2. Real work tools

Everything you need should be easily at hand. Opportunities for noting and drawing, related documentation, books, and other guides that you may need in time and out of time. Keep it clean and tidy in your workplace, in order. The pens should be able to be sharpened, the phone charged, and access to water in a glass or even better a bottle that you can have nearby.

3. Improve productivity

Here you have to divide the problem into its components and then solve each of them in sequence. Be structured and work with lists. Here you need to have self-control. Here is an example of how to think:

"I'm almost done this, it just takes a little more time. Get it done and uncheck it from the list, stay focused instead of jumping between different tasks. It always takes longer for the brain to adjust if you start with something else and then complete the task that you were almost completely done with. ”

If you work in a structured and focused way, you will notice how suddenly eight hours will fly by on something that feels like half the time.

4. Work with the psychological aspects

Psychologists recommend that you constantly praise and encourage yourself during strenuous tasks. I did 50% of the task today, which is already half, ie that soon more than half the job is done. Think positive. Promise yourself a reward at the end of the day, like watching a movie, and then enjoy your accomplishments by repeating that you deserve it. It is extremely difficult to judge your efforts, so you can ask someone from your family, wife, husband, or adult children to do it to reinforce the positive feeling.

5. Introduce an efficient schedule

It is not worth breaking good routines that you have worked up over several years. If you are used to getting up at 7 in the morning to get to your regular place of work, continue with it. It's easy to pamper yourself and suddenly start waking up at lunch if you do not have children in the house. If you do this, it will be extremely difficult to return to the normal order later on. It is necessary to adhere to strict lunch breaks, as well as to carefully take micro-breaks with other activities during the rest of the working day. You can water the flowers, look out the window or stretch a little. But do not be distracted by movies and social networks, and then it can easily take many hours before you find focus again.

Every night, take a few minutes to plan the next working day. Getting it done allows you to get started more efficiently the next morning and avoid a tough start.

Buy unique paintings online

At, you buy unique paintings online (köper unika tavlor online) with motifs in both abstract art (abstrakt konst) and figurative art. Our paintings (målningar) are mainly hand-painted in various techniques such as oil paintings (oljemålningar), acrylic paintings (akrylmålningar), canvas paintings (canvastavlor), and watercolors in a modern and colorful design. We think it should be easy to buy works of art and paintings online (köpa konstverk och tavlor på nätet), which is why our acrylic and oil paintings (akryl- och oljemålningar) are delivered suspended on a wooden frame ready to be hung on the wall. There is no shipping or other fees with us, the price you see on our paintings (tavlor) is also the price you pay at checkout. With us, you can buy large paintings (köpa stora tavlor) and small paintings (små tavlor) at prices that traditional galleries do not come close to.

When you decorate your home (inreder i hemmet), it is often easy to forget about the walls. With us, you can not only buy nice paintings (köpa snygga tavlor) for the living room, paintings for the kitchen (tavlor till köket) or paintings for the bedroom (tavlor till sovrummet), the metal paintings that we call "Metal Art", you can even have in outdoor environments because they are made entirely of metal, they will, of course, get even more patina from the weather and wind, but it will only make your artwork even more unique. We also have a large selection of sculptures (stort utbud utav skulpturer) in different colors that are made from recycled flip-flop sandals. This is a collaboration we have with an artist group in Kenya called Oceansole and they are the ones who make these colorful sculptures for us (färgglada skulpturer åt oss).

There is often a focus on price when talking about famous works of art (berömda konstverk) and perhaps especially then for paintings and paintings (målningar och tavlor) that are actually in private ownership. Paintings or works of art (Tavlor eller konstverk) as investments are not the focus for the people who buy their paintings from us at Lexan Décor (köper sina tavlor hos oss på Lexan Décor), here the only thing that is in focus is whether you think the painting is nice or not. But we still think it's a little fun to list the 10 most expensive paintings sold, so this is rather at the other end of the scale when it comes to buying paintings (köpa tavlor).

1. 'Salvator Mundi', a painting by Leonardo Da Vinci - 382 million euros

2. 'Interchange', a painting by Willem de Kooning - 266 million euros

3. 'Number 17A', a painting by Jackson Pollock - 177 million euros

4. 'The Card Players', a painting by Paul Cézanne - 173 million euros

5. 'When Will You Marry?', a painting by Paul Gauguin - 162 million euros

6. 'Les Femmes d'Alger ("Version O")', a painting by Pablo Picasso - 161 million euros

7.' Pendant portraits of Maerten Soomans and Oopjen Coppit ', a painting by Rembrandt - 160 mill. euro

8.' Nu couché ', a painting by Amedeo Modigliani - 158 million euros

9. 'No. 6 (Violet, Green, and Red) ', a painting by Mark Rothko - 140 million euros

10. 'No 5, 1984', a painting by Jackson Pollock - 109 million euros

Whether the price is decisive for whether a painting becomes famous (tavla blir känd) or not is not a given, what limits this is probably not the quality of the artwork (kvaliteten utav konstverket) or how beautiful the painting (snygg faktiskt tavlan) is, but rather that the most famous paintings (kända tavlorna) will never be sold on the open market. These are the 5 paintings that many consider being the most famous in the world (kända målningarna i världen). These are paintings (tavlor) that are on the walls in many homes, but then of course not as paintings in an original edition but usually as posters.

1. Leonardo Da Vinci - a painting called "Mona Lisa"

2. Monet - and a painting called "Waterlilies"

3. Tintoretto - and his magnificent mural "Il Paradiso"

4. Rembrandt - with his painting "The Night Clock"

5. Picasso - with a painting called "Guernica"

Different types of paintings and art

Oil paintings (Oljemålningar): A painting (tavla) of oil painting (oljemålning) is not transparent, a painting (tavla) of oil painting (oljemålning) can also fade a little over time and when you paint with oil paint, you rarely put thick layers of paint on a painting made as an oil painting (oljemålning). Acrylic paintings (Akrylmålningar): A painting with acrylic painting (akrylmålningar) is very similar to a painting (tavla) with oil painting (oljemålning) as it is not transparent either, but unlike paintings with oil painting (oljemålning), it can be applied in thick layers and it becomes a painting (tavla) that retains its colors well over time. Watercolor is a technique based on watercolor, they are transparent in the sense that you can see the paper through the color. You often combine watercolor withdrawing from a pencil. Wall decals, Art Prints, Posters, and Photographic Artor graphic print is a work of art produced with the help of a print on various materials with artistic intent. Canvas prints can also include works of art and paintings that have been produced digitally. Mixing techniques are paintings and visual art that combine several different techniques, e.g. a painting made in a combination of oil painting and watercolor.
