10 Best Things to Buy for Your Home Office

For people that are working from home often, it’s absolutely vital that you have a home office that feels like the best possible place to do work. You need to feel productive and have all the essentials at your fingertips. This article has picked some of the best possible options you can buy for your home office to maximize your work.

A New Set of Stationery

Sometimes, what you really need is to freshen up your environment. While you could buy some new furniture or expensive equipment, why not buy a set of office supplies. When you were a little kid, getting fresh new spiral bound notebooks and glossy folders could give you a rush. You can get that same feeling as an adult with post-its, pens, pen cups, planners, and stationery that creates the vibe you like. Minimalist, hip and modern, funky, or abstract - there are plenty of themes to choose from. And you can support independent designers and artists too when you check out sites like Redbubble or Minted.

A Folding Table

This table is sturdy, well made and can offer you an extra surface space to work on when the surface of your current desk is not enough space for your various projects. If you ever find yourself running out of workspace, then this is a great option for you. While a folding table desk sounds far from ideal, there are plenty of chic and useful options - and at every budget too.

A Set of Speakers

While some people are happy to work in silence, plenty more love to work with some music. Whether it’s to help you focus on a big project or simply to chill you out and lighten the mood, a nice set of speakers is a must.

A Quality Lamp

It’s important that you have ample lighting while you work. While it's tempting to grab the cheapest lamp you can find at the store, consider that a lamp can really do triple duty. A good quality lamp not only adds light to your space, but it can also provide storage and be a modern work of art. Use a lamp with the right aesthetic and it will really elevate the overall look of your space. And not only can a really nice lamp can class up any room, it can become a cherished, fought-over heirloom too. (Because you can't use a porcelain teacup to see at night.)

A Classy Throw Rug

You can add some extra cozy charm to your home office with a tasteful throw rug like this lovely Maples Tatum Washable Throw Rug from Kohls. The design is elegant and will make your workspace more welcoming and really brighten up your mood.

Utensil Organiser

You certainly don’t want your office supplies thrown out haphazardly across the place. What you need is a good quality organizer that ensures everything, from the last pen to your stapler are in the proper place and ready for easy access. With cash back bonuses from Kohl's, you can always get a great deal too.

A Diffuser

If you’re working in the same room for up to several hours per day, then it’s so important that your surroundings are pleasant. A diffuser is a great option to keep the room from getting too stuffy and your sinuses will thank you!

A Coffee Maker

Nothing says productivity quite like fresh coffee. A simple drip brew coffee machine means you’ll never be more than arm's length away from some fresh brewed coffee for those times when you feel yourself waning. If you're more of a tea drinker, consider a wood or metal caddy to hold your tea bags or canisters of loose tea and a tea infuser.

A Comfy Office Chair

Since you're going to be sitting for several hours a day, it might at least be comfy. We recommend going for a mesh office chair that will provide great support for your back while also being comfortable. While office chairs can be costly, waiting for sales and using a promo code at Office Max will ensure you get one for a fraction of the price.

Some Delightful Faux Succulent Plants

Everyone should try and add a little greenery to their office. It will improve your mood and brighten up the space. While real plants can need a bit of maintenance, a faux succulent requires no work at all!

Summary

Remember that when shopping for the best options for your home office, you’ll want quality without having to overpay. Start with a comfy chair, adequate lighting, and plenty of elbow room. Then add a few personal touches to make it yours, but less is always more so you can avoid the clutter. Be thoughtful and judicious with every piece you bring into your office space, and even though it's a place for work, you can also make it your oasis too.
