A new workplace trend is occurring close to home. In fact, it’s happening in the home. More and more companies are expanding their workforce to outside of their base of operations by on-boarding remote employees. We’ve been furnishing brick and mortar businesses for years and, as we’re seeing a rise in remote office work, we are raising our game to meet the needs of at-home workers. According to Small Business Trends, remote work options are cost-effective, decrease typical office anxiety, and allow for flexibility in scheduling. Based on our years of experience, a home office that promotes an efficient work style should allow privacy to focus, a dedicated work surface (not your kitchen table), comfortable seating, and ample storage. These are our suggestions for creating your home office. The home base of a truly mobile remote employee needs to be intuitive and fluid for your fluctuating schedule. Start with the ample storage of Meridian filing to organize your paperwork. Next, create a flexible work surface using one of our office savvy tables. This can serve as a simple desk or you can choose a round table that doubles as a meeting space. Complete your office with a comfortable task chair, like the Haworth Improv, or take a seat in one of our many side chairs.

This chair allows for full adjustments to support your back in addition to featuring breathable fabric so you’ll sit comfortably all day. Pair this chair with the Hon double pedestal desk with built-in storage or with one of our table desks and a mobile pedestal. If you’re an entrepreneur running a business out of your own home office, why not give your work space the prestigious look of a private office? For a comparable, yet cost-effective office, choose an L-shaped desk. You can finish off either look with the professional and contouring Humanscale Liberty task chair.
