Just because you work from home doesn’t mean that you cannot enjoy the same functional, practical and stylish work environment that you would come to expect working in a large organisation. In fact, if anything, your office design is even more important when working from home as you need to be able to distance your work day from your own leisure and family time, which is why it is crucial that you pick the right home office desks and chairs to enable you to do your job efficiently.

There are many different styles of desk you can choose from – much of this will depend on how much room you have, how many people will be working in your home office and how it fits in with the décor of the rest of your house.

Home office desks come in a variety of wooden finishes such as maple, cherry, walnut, oak and beech – giving shades that will fit in with almost any home office colour scheme. These desks come with panel ends or a range of legs in colours such as white or silver to lighten up small spaces and give the whole thing a more modern twist.

You can also consider glass or metal desks if you prefer to steer away from the traditional wooden look, though you will need to choose wisely if you are limited by space or are likely to have small children running around your office!

You may want a desk that fits up the corner or one that hides away your computer equipment and files. You could add a pedestal, either fixed or mobile, to store files or stationery items or you could add a storage cupboard, filing cabinet or tambour cupboard to keep those files neatly tucked away.

Whatever your home office desks requirements, whether you simply need one desk and a chair in your spare bedroom or if you have an entire annexe you can devote to your working environment and need complete home office design, making the right choices now will ensure you are productive and efficient when working from home.

The reception area of your commercial building is, in most cases, the first thing visitors and prospective clients will see when visiting your premises so it is important that these areas are designed and furnished to send out the right message about your business and what you do. The importance of choosing the right office reception furniture cannot be underestimated for many reasons, including:

1) First impressions count – In business you often don’t get a second chance to make a good impression and an untidy, poorly designed reception area with ill-fitting or worn out furniture gives the impression that you don’t really care about your workplace. Smarten it up with bespoke reception furniture and accessories to match your corporate colour schemes and all of a sudden you could be onto a winner.

2) Size matters – the size of reception office furniture you choose will largely be dependent upon the space you have available but you need to be careful not to go too big with your choice of reception desk, as this will seem overpowering. Similarly, too small a desk in a large area will make your receptionist look lost, rather than being the focal point of the room.

3) Somewhere to sit – reception areas often double as waiting rooms and you don’t want to leave potential clients standing around whilst you prepare for their visit, so your choice of reception area seating is as important as your choice of desking. You can choose from cantilever chairs, tub chairs and sofas, soft seating or stackable chairs if you are short of space.

4) The finishing touch – a desk and chairs do not a room make! So you will also need to think about accessories to complement your office reception furniture. Pictures, plants and decorative items make a good starting place and you can co-ordinate these to adhere to your corporate colour themes.

Whatever size organisation you work in, the reception needs to be a welcoming, professional and well-designed space in order to help your business make a good first impression with visitors, so make sure you choose wisely when you come to buy your office reception furniture.

With more and more people choosing to set up their own business ventures and organisations having to offer better flexibility to staff with young families, there are increasing numbers of people who are working from home. This means that spare bedrooms, attics and garages are being converted into home offices and there is more demand for home office furniture desks and chairs.

It can be difficult to decide how to furnish your home office, after all in most cases the room or rooms that you base yourself in will not have been designed as commercial office space in the first place so you will have to adapt your available space to create the working environment you require.

You will need to choose home office furniture desks to house the computer, screen, keyboard, mouse, files and stationery that you need to complete your day to day tasks. You can select from a wide range of designs to suit all spaces including corner workstations, wave desking, cantilever desks and compact desks. Desks come in a range of wooden finishes such as oak, beech, walnut and maple and you can even get then in glass or metal to fit in with your contemporary-themed house.

To compliment your desks you will probably also require some storage, either in the form of an under desk pedestal, filing cabinet or cupboard, and of course a chair to sit on! Chairs come in a range of designs to suit all types of desk work and are available in designs that support the back and spine.

Once you have chosen your home office furniture desks, chairs and storage you can turn your attention to the smaller things which make your working day easier such as stationery, files and noticeboards…and remember, since you are working at home you are never that far from the kettle and a nice, refreshing cup of tea.
