Work-from-home setups have become the norm ever since the pandemic, and while some companies are returning to the office, a few more will keep their employees at home. If you have a work-from-home setup, you can optimise your productivity by creating a home office. Here are four home furniture pieces you can put in your office and say goodbye to your uncomfortable office chair.

1. Office Chair

The core of a home office is your desk and chair. An uncomfortable office chair discourages you from working and negatively impacts your productivity. You might even find yourself dreading work because of the unwelcoming environment. When looking for furniture to add to your office, look for an ergonomic chair. An ergonomic chair helps you with your posture and supports your body efficiently. The furniture store usually labels ergonomic chairs as such, and you can sit on them if they allow you. That way, you’ll be able to tell if it’s comfortable enough to sit on all day.

2. Sofas

Working hours without any breaks can result in productivity loss in the long run. You can create a separate area in your home office dedicated to your break times. Add a comfortable and soft sofa for relaxing or sleeping. You can also decorate and add personality to your office by getting sofa cushions. A sofa cushion aids your comfort if you want to nap during breaks.

3. Functional Home Furniture

You might not have the budget to buy a room’s worth of office furniture, but you don’t have to. You can reuse home furniture to decorate the place instead. There’s lots of home furniture that you can turn into office furniture, such as tables for your work desk, dressers for your work supplies, and shelves for your books or files. If you have some furniture stored, they might be worth revisiting now.

4. Decoration

A dreary home office will turn work into a chore. Add your personal touches to your office by putting some decorations. Figurines and trinkets are attractive options for desk decorations. You can also set a floor rug for comfort and a splash of colour. If you’d like an incentive to go into your office every day, you can add a houseplant that requires daily watering. Make your office a happy place using home furniture so that work becomes something you look forward to every day.
