Create A Home Office With These 5 Essentials

During the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of us found ourselves working from home and scrabbling together a makeshift home office space.

But now, with many offices opening back up again, the discussion of working from home is in the spotlight more than ever. And in fact, following it’s success rate over the pandemic, studies have estimated that in the near future we could even see between three to four times as many people working from home as before the pandemic!

So while those temporary office spaces may soon be being dismantled, it is worth bearing in mind that you may find yourself working from home again sooner than you think! So, with working from home becoming a possibility sooner rather than later,  we’ve decided to help you get ahead of the game and get those all important home office essentials in place.

1. Desks

Every home office needs a desk, but with so many options available, where do you start?

3. Lamps & Lighting

It’s always better to bright up your home office through natural lighting where possible. However, it’s useful to have that extra light source at your desk; particularly during those long, dark winter days.

Our sister site BPF offers a slim range of lighting, but nothing compares to their stylish new Pendant Ceiling Light & Power Socket.

This innovative pendant ceiling light and power socket provides both UK power and dimmable LED lighting, neatly combined within a single unit.
