8 Modern Ideas for a More Marvellous Home Office
Bring your workspace up to speed for maximum comfort and productivity
If your home office is looking a little tired, or you feel tired just thinking about having to set foot in there, it’s time to re-energise it. Breathing new life into your workspace need not be expensive, but it can make a huge difference to how you feel when you’re in there and how efficiently you operate. These ideas are sure to supercharge the hours you work from home and change your life for the better in the process.
Design an office built for two
If you like to work in the evenings, but also need to help a child with their homework, this set-up allows the two of you to work side by side with ease. The same goes if more than one adult gets work done at home – it’s nice to have your own desk space, but this design means you don’t have to dedicate two rooms to make it happen.
Make working from home a no-brainer with these smart ideas

Rethink the standing desk
If you don’t yet have a standing desk, but think you should probably invest in one, consider this option instead. A bar-height desk eliminates the need for an expensive standing desk you need to keep lowering and raising whenever you want to sit down or stand up – with this one, you just add tall chairs.

Let it slide
Small changes can make a big difference to your working life, and this is one of them – enabling ease of movement. It’s quite simple: a hard floor makes it easy for a chair on wheels to roll around; carpet doesn’t. The solution is simple, too: just top carpet with a plastic floor mat. This inexpensive office addition can also protect floorboards from the wear and tear caused by chair castors.

Allow creative juices to flow
Don’t let your life be all work and no play – playtime is when the best ideas tend to emerge. Break up your day with some downtime in a hanging chair for some quiet reflection on the big picture. You might be surprised at the groundbreaking thoughts that begin to surface.

Go for ergonomic excellence
How comfortable is your office chair? If you’ve had yours for years and rarely sit anywhere to work but your home office, you might not know what you’re missing out on. Well-designed office chairs can be supremely comfortable for long periods, and keep those aches and pains at bay.

Create clean lines
Mess isn’t good for stress levels or clarity of thought, so make it a priority to hide it away with adequate storage. If you still rely on an old filing cabinet to stash your stuff, it’s probably time to think about an upgrade.
The streamlined storage solutions in this home office might take up some room, but the space is clear and clutter-free as a result – just what you need to do your best work.

Easily distracted by noise? Why not seal yourself away from household sounds with a glassed-in home office. You can focus on your work without feeling too closed off, but earplugs will be a thing of the past. Plus making a phone call to a client while someone’s doing the vacuuming will suddenly become possible. A workspace like this could be positively liberating.
