LUXURY OFFICE FURNITURE: ELEVATE YOUR WORKSPACE IN STYLE
Whether you work from home full-time or just need space to do your accounts, browse the internet or type some emails, your home office can be as comfortable and elegant as the rest of your house. Home office furniture has come a long way from a flat-pack desk and an uncomfortable chair. Today, we have bespoke designs and contemporary luxury office furniture that can elevate your workspace. Here are our top tips on how to create the ultimate home office.
Balance form and functionality
While the aesthetics of your home workspace are important, you also need to balance its functionality. Desks that have enough space for a laptop or computer, an open book, and even separate keyboards are important, as are those that allow you to keep cables and wires out of the way.
An office chair that fits both you and the desk is also essential, especially if you spend long hours sitting in front of a computer. Adjustable chairs with plenty of lumbar support mean you can focus on your work.
Set up for online meetings
Online meetings are part of everyday working life, so your practical considerations need to include the desk height (so you’re not cutting off the top of your head on-screen!) and your office background. A cluttered, messy background won’t send the right message, especially during a high-level meeting. Clever storage ideas such as elegant office bookshelves send a much more professional message.
Make sure it fits in with the rest of your décor
A home office can be a space under the stairs or a separate room. But it needs to fit in with the rest of your home décor so that it doesn't break the flow. Choose colours that complement your home design and furniture that fits in with the aesthetics of your living space so that you can transition seamlessly from one space to another.
Use the same design principles
Home office furniture has moved on from black chairs and wood veneer desks. Today, you can choose from a wide range of colours and styles that embrace contemporary design principles. Chairs may still use leather, but you’ll find creamy white and rich teal options, while modern office desks use unusual materials such as concrete and the warm tones of acacia wood in their construction. Curvaceous, almost sensual lines add a whole new dimension to home office furniture while never losing sight of their purpose and functionality.
Create a space where you can focus
A beautiful, uncluttered and comfortable home office isn't just a nice place to be; it helps you focus and prevents you from being distracted. That doesn't mean it has to be austere – an artful vase or a pot with a lush green plant softens the ambience (as well as adding some oxygen into the room to keep your head clear!). Wall art adds character to the space, while little touches such as coasters to pop your morning coffee cup on and fluffy, colourful floor rugs all add those little finishing touches to make your home office feel more luxurious and more you.
