Design a Home Office that Works for You

The trend toward working from home began even before the pandemic. While some people have returned to the office, many of us are working remotely-at least some of the time.

It is important to set up a home office where you can get things done, whether you take over the guest room or if you have a corner of the great room. Fortunately, name-brand home office furniture manufacturers have stepped up by offering a wide range of furniture to fit your needs.

Find a Quiet Spot

Now that people are working from home, space is at a premium. You may not have the luxury of keeping a guest bedroom set up for the occasional overnight visitor. But not to worry-you can still have a private home office and accommodate guests by including a sleeper sofa when you furnish the room. You will probably find that your sleeper sofa is the perfect place to make a phone call, make decisions and take a break.

Choose the Right Desk

When it comes to home office desks, the choice is yours! Today you can find a desk in every style, size, type and material to fit your needs.

Look for impressive executive desks, smaller writing desks, desks that are part of a hutch unit, and lift-top desks like the one pictured above. Corner desks are popular because they can fit in an unused portion of the room and free up space in a living room or great room. And don't forget an ergonomic chair that can help you feel comfortable and prevent back issues.

Install Storage Furniture

With the right home office storage furniture you can create a workspace that is free of clutter so you can stay organized and productive. From bookcases and file cabinets to storage units like hutches, you can find the right storage pieces to keep your office neat and tidy.

Personalize your Home Office

One of the perks of working from home is that you can decorate your home office any way you want to. Choose traditional, transitional or contemporary home office furniture to harmonize with the other furniture in your home. Then add a personal touch with family photos, houseplants and artwork to create a comfortable and personalized workspace.
