As you’ve figured out by now you are far from the first person locally to be looking for trim, comfortable and durable home office furniture to transform a corner of your abode into a high-function workstation. The remote-work revolution has been an example of creative destruction freeing many, many workers from the drudgery of a long commute and spending all day apart from the people and things they love. If that’s you, wonderful. Let’s celebrate! But before you stop by Roses Flooring & Furniture to choose a cool L-shape office desk or sit-stand desk converter so you can stretch in place by alternating sitting and standing as you dictate those emails, let’s take a look at the essentials you’ll need to make your work-at-home adventure a smashing success. Our Southeastern U.S. furniture stores are here to turn your dream job into a wondrous reality, and in a way that won’t put a big dent in your financial plans!
Well-Placed Home Office Desks and Chairs: Location,
Location, Location!
As you look in your home for a place to strategically park
your new executive desk and ultra-cushioned, neck-cradling office chair, be
honest with yourself. Can you really work amid distractions such as your
partner watching TV in the living room or your little ones and pets underfoot? If
you can’t dedicate a whole spare bedroom to your home office, and you don’t
need that to receive patients or clients face-to-face, consider something quieter
such as a disused walk-in closet, properly ventilated of course. Here you or
your resident budding scholar can work without undue noise getting in the way.
Most of our customers appreciate a nook that’s near your home’s activity but
far enough away so they can concentrate, oh, and have video meetings, a staple
of 2020s work life, without interruptions!
How Much Room Do You Need for Your Home Workstation?
Next when designing the space for your new home office bookcases
or file cabinets, take stock of all you’ve got for your job, break out the tape
measure, and stake out your space! Ask yourself these crucial questions. Will I
have enough room to move comfortably side to side, stand without bumping into
anything, and comfortably sit back from your desk? Nobody is expecting you to
sit ramrod straight in a broom closet all day. Professional designers suggest
that for most remote-work setups you need about 5 feet by 7 feet of space. If
you think you need more, consider one of our very movable bookcases, both libraries
and mobile walls so your office can stretch like it never could before!
Choose Your Office Desk and Chair Wisely
We recommend a sturdy home office desk at least 4 feet
across, sufficient for most modern business activity such as with your laptop
and docking station. As for choosing an office chair, it would be best for you to
stop by the Roses Flooring & Furniture store nearest you to “test drive” a
few. That cool-looking midcentury number might leave you feeling pinched and
cramped while a wide wood banker’s chair may be the ideal complement to your home’s
classic design as well as a practical place to sit for long periods.
Let’s get started on kitting out your ideal home office with
cool work-from-home furniture always for closeout prices at Roses Flooring &
