The Best Work From Home Office Accessories
Do you see your future in a hybrid office or work-from-home (WFH) back instead of the back-to-office shuffle? Is WFH your normal or new daily norm? If so, make sure you personalize this space as a dedicated space you love! Here at SNPC Design, I have a real passion for creating designs for an office space custom to your needs! Your office space should also be somewhere that inspires creativity and increases productivity. Below are my top office decor elements to raise the bar for your work-from-home space.
Your desk
Think of your desk as your sanctuary space - this is where all the daily energy and grind flows from. This piece should be the focal point of your new office design.
The first question to ask yourself when starting your office design is how big of a workspace do you need? This will help you in selecting a desk. A writing desk is usually on the smaller side, whereas, an executive desk is typically larger. The second question to ask yourself is how much storage does your desk need?
Below, are a few of my favorite desks to help you get started with your search! Click the picture to find out more information on each desk:
YOUR CHAIR
Your body is your temple and it deserves only the best! Treat it right and select a chair that has both ergonomics and comfort in mind. Remember, you will likely be sitting in this chair for multiple hours a day. Here are some of the items you should consider when selecting your office chair:
Do you prefer a firm or soft seat?
Do you prefer a chair with armrests?
Does the chair need lumbar support or a neckrest?
Does the chair need to be mobile or stationary?
Does the chair need to be a fixed height or adjustable?
To help you get started with your search, I’ve provided a few of my favorite chairs below. Click the picture to find out more information on each chair:
Lighting
Adequate lighting levels in your office are extremely important to your health and productivity. Low lighting levels can lead to headaches/migraines, squinting, and overall inability to read documents and your computer monitor.
Make sure to invest in either overhead lighting, natural light, or a nice task light to sit on your desk. To help you get started with your search, we’ve provided a few of our favorite lamps above.
Acoustics
Is your office covered in hard materials? Do you have wood flooring in your office? Is the ceiling low in your office space? If you answered yes to any of these questions, acoustics will play a big role in your office space design to answer phone calls, sit on virtual meetings, or record any type of auto without echo or voice issues.
Here at SNPC Design, an area rug is my favorite decor element to add to an office to help with acoustic issues. Area rugs cover a large area with a soft material that helps with echoing and noise control. To help you get started with your search, I’ve provided a few of my favorite area rugs below:
Office Accessories
Who doesn’t love a personalized space? You could be spending 8-12 hours in your office (but hopefully less!). Make the design of this space speak to you. The design should help calm you, as well as, give some identity to who you are or maybe what type of work you do.
Here are some ideas on what types of accessories you could add to your office space:
Productivity tools
Dry-erase boards
A fun and modern calendar
Tack boards
Wall organizer
Computer accessories
Laptop stands
Monitor mounts
Desk Decor
Clock
Desk organizer
Picture frame (to remember who or what you are working so hard for!)
