organising the home the office corner This is the recipe for maintaining the leadership position that, year after year, it has gained, establishing itself as the leading all-round carpet specialist in Italy and Europe.
Olivo covers the entire carpet world and follows each market segment through its divisions Olivo Tappeti, Olivo Pro e Platinum Custom Rugs.

To date, the company is considered the most reliable partner for distributors, retailers and interior design professionals working in the home sector, and it is with them and all its collaborators that Olivo Tappeti today celebrates with pride and immense joy this first great stretch of road travelled, which it does not consider a finishing line, but only the continuation of a story that began 40 years ago.

It was, in fact, 1982 when Cav. Marcello Olivo took his first steps in the home carpet business, with a great desire to do business and a good dose of intuition. A dream that came true and later evolved with the entry of his sons Matteo and Francesco into the company in 1992 and 1997.
An evolution in terms of turnover, cubic metres of warehouse space, conquest of foreign markets and technology and innovation in the logistics and commercial sectors.
Since 2002, his wife Valeria's signature has appeared on all carpets, another fundamental part of Olivo Tappeti's history. The Olivo family This does not remind us of a happy time, but the wise know that every difficulty is a lesson.
What do we take with us into our new life from those days?
Perhaps the need, and consequently the pleasure of organised, tidy and functional environments that actually increase the potential of our homes because they force us to identify waste (including space) and optimise it. We therefore do not exclude that the idea of the home office, once (we hope) the emergency has passed, has remained as a pleasing motif in many homes.
Living has changed and still will.
It is up to us to govern this mutability, amplifying its positive effects on our lives. One of the aspects of the’home office, whether temporary or stable, is the fluidity of spaces that become versatile, transforming.
The ideal office corner, in the absence of a dedicated room, should be a disappearing office!
It is a question of the PC, which will be portable, slim and not too big, of furniture (a dedicated cupboard column, or a drawer in which to store paper material and the PC will suffice), of accessories, which should not be too explicitly technical (woe betide staplers as knick-knacks).

Everything that makes up the office corner must blend into the decor of the entire room.

I carpets Traditionally they are used to circumscribe an area within a larger space: think of an open-plan living area, where we can visually separate the sofa area from the dining table area, precisely by placing two carpets to define the different functions.
In the case of the office, however, the suggestion is not to create a gap between this corner and the rest of the furniture, otherwise it will become a looming presence even when not in use and, above all, it will be disharmonious with the house itself. Some advice, especially from the feng shui , They invite us to take very good care of what is in front of us when we sit at our desks.
Contrary to the most popular layout (even when preparing the study corner in the children's room), the gaze should not be directed at a wall, perhaps bare.
The correct position would instead be one that allows us to have our back to the wall, maintaining an open view into the room, preferably to enjoy the view through the window. Since working from home also means, to a large extent, video conferencing, to make up for the lack of direct contact with colleagues, customers or suppliers, specific attention should be paid to the background.
It is not enough to consider how we experience the work situation, but also how it would be perceived by one of our virtual visitors. In this, having a wall behind us helps a lot because it will be enough to take care of ornaments or pictures.
Let us be careful not to show intimate details of our family life: our photo at the beach might not give a professional image of us; let us keep in mind that always showing a part of our private life must be well considered, and not casual.
But it is facing the wall that brings with it the greatest pitfall, that of not caring about the background.
Even if it is now accepted that one connects from home, some views are to be avoided: kitchens, corridors where people pass by who have nothing to do with the work context (we do not want to make people think that we work with one hand and with the other we do the housework, which would be detrimental to our results).
To be honest, even a white, bare wall is not the best backdrop for a video call, and it will not look good, making us appear as if we are in an empty warehouse.
We don't realise it, but these are details that affect our professional relationships, a bit like phone calls constantly interrupted by phrases taken out of context (e.g. with family members that have nothing to do with professional activities).
