Home Office Furniture in London: Create Your Space
Since the corona virus and the resulting lockdowns, the number of people working from home or hybrid working (working part time in the office, and part time from home) has grown significantly all over the world. London is no different. There’s no doubt that home office furniture in London is a booming industry since the rise in popularity of home working, but what’s the best way to go about setting up your home office? We have five helpful tips for you.
Make The Most Of Your Space
Most people who live and work in London do not have an abundance of space in which to work. That’s why it’s so important to be considerate and resourceful when planning your space. Do you need a huge desk that takes up half of your space, or can you opt for a smaller desk? Consider paler colours when decorating. White office furniture is always popular because it’s bright, neutral, and helps to reflect light, making some smaller spaces appear larger. Plants are always a great idea to add more vitality to a smaller room too.
Choose An Office Chair That Works For You
The word ‘ergonomic chair’ is thrown around a lot in our industry, but that’s just a fancy way of saying ‘highly adjustable chair’. An adjustable office chair is good to have, no doubt, but what’s more important is that the chair is comfortable and supportive for you and your specific shape/size. It’s always a shrewd idea to go and try some office chairs out at a furniture showroom if possible, before you commit to buying, so that you know you are happy with the one you pick. Showrooms for home office furniture in London are a great way to try view/try all your furniture before you buy it.
Consider Investing In A Sit/Stand Desk
The sit/stand desk, ergonomic desk, or height adjustable desk, as it’s also known, is always worth considering when setting up any home office. These desks are height adjustable at the touch of a button (except some older models which are operated via a crank handle), allowing the user to alternate between sitting and standing for periods of time while working. This has proven to improve the all-round health of workers, compared to being sedentary the entire time you work. More and more people are deciding to go with these desks, and that’s especially true of those working in London.
Get The Correct Home Office Storage
One bad habit that can always lead to an unproductive home office environment is letting it get messy and cluttered. A great way to avoid this is to make sure you have the appropriate home office storage in place when you set up your space.
Under-desk mobile pedestals are particularly handy for stationery, paperwork, files, etc, and the slimline models are especially useful if you’re in a small London home office! Cupboards, bookcases, and filing cabinets may also be of use, depending on the nature of your business.
Consider Second-Hand Home Office Furniture
What with our species’ continued bid to be greener and maintain our planet as best we can, sustainability has become a huge requirement in the office furniture market. Not only are you helping to reduce your carbon footprint when you buy second-hand, you’re saving money too. Plus, if you’re a dedicated bargain-hunter, you can sometimes find high end designer furniture in as-new condition, for a heavily reduced price.
