If the last two years have taught us anything about the future of remote work and working from home (WFH), it’s that investing in a decent home office set-up is never a bad idea. When it comes down to it, a good set-up often consists of four things. The first is an ergonomic office chair — usually, a good swivel chair with lumbar support will do the trick. The second is the right kind of technical equipment and desk accessories, because trust us, these can go a long way when it comes to productivity. Last but not least, you’ll also need a desk that’s big enough to support your computer, be it desktop or laptop.
How much space you have in your home office will inform what kind of desk set-up you’ll need. You can get small enough desks to hold your computer or laptop alone or regular-sized office desks if you need additional space for files, planners (and maybe even a plant). Alternatively, you can also have a look at standing desks or sit to stand desks if you’re sick of being on your toosh all day. Corner desks even work great when it comes to creating your own little productivity nook in the lounge or dining room.
They also come in a range of different materials — plain, timber, metal etc. — so you can find one that suits the decor and style of your home. We’ve found a variety of desks for every budget, with the cheapest setting you back around $72.12 and the more expensive ones falling under $399.
Oh, and if you need a matching chair, we’ve found a bunch of those too. Happy Shopping!
