Upgrade your Home Office – 5 Essential Accessories

24 February 2022 by Eileen

Whether you have a dedicated home office at the bottom of your garden or you’ve carved yourself a little corner under your stairs, hybrid working is here to stay.

Research found that 60% of the UK’s adult population worked from home during the first coronavirus lockdown and 26% of Brits plan to continue to work from home permanently or occasionally after lockdown.

Upgrade your home office – 5 essential accessories

So, we’ve got the essential accessories you need to upgrade your home office – and with retirement ages increasing, you could be there for the long haul!

Standing desk

We know that sitting for long periods is bad for both our physical and mental health and with many adults spending around 9 hours a day sitting down, investing in a standing desk or cycle desk – or at least one that’s adjustable could be a worthwhile investment.

Ergonomic chair

We’re not expecting anyone to stand for the duration of a whole day, but when you do take a seat, make sure it’s in an ergonomic chair. The added support will help improve your posture and could help reduce long-term lower back and neck pain.

Not only that but ergonomic chairs have been shown to increase productivity.

Bespoke storage

A tidy office is a tidy mind. If you’re sick of being surrounded by mountains of paperwork, then adding bespoke storage like built-in sliding wardrobes can help create a clutter-free environment.

You can even up your style credentials and build your desk within the cupboard, so come five you can close the door on your desk.

The right lighting

The right lighting can have a huge impact on the way think, feel and work. Firstly, if you don’t already, working by a window will help provide you with that all important natural light – staving off SAD.

If you communicate with your colleagues and clients via Zoom, adding a ring light to your office setup creates flattering soft-focus light.

House plants

Humans have an innate desire to connect to nature and despite the majority of us living in urban built-up areas, we still crave that connection. House plants are a great way to bring the outside in. Not only do they help add colour to a workspace, but plants have been shown to help reduce stress. One of the theories is that we associated the colour green with relaxing and calming environments.

Plants can also help provide you with cleaner fresher air. During photosynthesis, plants not only remove carbon dioxide from the air, but they’re adept at removing chemicals including benzene and formaldehyde.
