The rise of work-from-home arrangements and the growth of the remote workforce has led to an unprecedented amount of home office spaces. As anyone who works from home can testify, the perks of convenience and comfort can be undermined by an uninspiring work station.
Be in control of your workspace and your productivity by applying these tips on must-have items to your home office. You may just see the benefits accrue through improved efficiency.
1. Sit and work in comfort and style
To start with the basics, a comfortable chair and spacious desk are foundations for any home office ensemble. Considering you'll be spending a good chunk of your working life on these very objects, think of these essentials as an investment - and don't be afraid to spend accordingly.
Look out for ergonomic office chairs with an adjustable height range and backrest, and a five-point base for optimum stability (just quietly, cool swivelling ability may be another consideration). Arm rests maximise support and seating posture during computer use, and the health benefits acquired through better posture and back support make the investment in a good office chair well worthwhile.
As for the desk, adjustable desk and work stations are ideal, especially for those with bad backs. When choosing a desk for your home office, make sure that you can rest your elbows at a 90 degree angle at all times when sitting there. That said, research shows that the occasional bout of standing while working can help us reap benefits in terms of not only productivity, by fostering alertness, but also increasing circulation and preventing the dangers of over-sitting.
