Key Elements Every Home Office Needs

Since remote/hybrid work is here to stay your home office should be stylish, comfortable, and functional. When you collaborate with Made Goods and Pigeon and Poodle setting up your home workspace is effortless.

Made Goods' Alessio Desk

The Right Desk and Chair

 

Do you work with just a laptop or a larger desktop? One or two screens? Do you need room for paperwork and/or a printer? Will you need room for personal photos? These are a few of the questions to consider when choosing the size and functionality of your desk. Typical office desks are 29 to 31 inches high. Made Goods offers a range of styles, shapes, and widths to consider depending on your needs and your space.

 


 

This stylish Conrad desk checks all the boxes with its unique proportions. This functional faux raffia beauty comes in four different sizes (36”L x 24”W x 31”H,  54”L x 20”W x 31”H, 64”L x 30”W x 31”H, and 72”L x 34” W x 31”H)  and three different finishes (black, white, and off-white).

 

If you prefer functional elegance, this Olive Ash Veneer Lindsey desk also comes in the same four sizes as the Conrad above.

This dynamic desk provides a beautiful, burled wood workspace with two drawers featuring faceted brass hardware. This Lindsey desk is also offered in a Walnut Veneer if a darker version settles more into your home office vibe. 

 

Long workdays spent sitting in an uncomfortable desk chair can lead to back pain, poor posture, low productivity, and even long-term health issues. Choosing the right chair, such as an ergonomic desk chair, can avoid all these issues and provide increased comfort and improved focus. An item that is considered “ergonomic” means that it is designed or arranged to fit the person using it. Adding this type of chair to your office space can have the added benefits of adjustable lumbar settings, height settings, and armrest settings.

 

Remember to keep clutter to a minimum around your desk for both safety and accessibility. Allow a 36-inch clearance for the chair and set aside 30 inches around the front of the desk with 30 inches around the sides of the desk.

 

 

The Right Space and Lighting

 

The right home office space is crucial for productivity. Whether it is a dedicated room in the house or just a partitioned portion of a room, the space should be private and multifunctional. Also, consider the color of your space. Green has been proven to increase productivity, blue is associated with logic and inspiration, and natural pastel shades can create a peaceful and safe atmosphere. Don’t forget to bring nature indoors. Natural plants give off oxygen and reduce stress.


Natural sunlight has long been proven to have a direct correlation with work productivity. It boosts mood, improves health, and increases productivity. However, artificial lighting is a necessary addition to natural lighting. Consider the Made Goods Calvin Task lamp or Calvin Floor lamp.



The Right Desk Accessories

 

The best way to focus on and accomplish your daily goals is to use the right desk accessories to keep you organized and to keep your clutter to a minimum. Pigeon and Poodle’s beautiful desk sets and accessories make getting work done simple and in style.

 

One of the first items to consider is the desk mat or blotter.  A desk mat offers protection from spills, scratches, and stains. Additionally, a desk mat provides a comfortable workspace and enhances your workspace aesthetic.



 

Clutter can magically ruin a productive office space. To compartmentalize

chaos, the following items are necessary to house on your desk.

·         Glasses/key/trinket holder

·         Desk tray

·         Mail holder

·         Pencil holder

Don’t forget to take a few minutes at the end of each day to clean your desk and file important papers. This provides a welcoming mindset to start your next workday!
