Furnishing the home study: how to choose the office desk

Where do we start to furnish the home studio? But it's obvious: from the desk!

Smart working fans know it: having a comfortable and organized surface is the first step to setting up a home office, without sacrificing the convenience of large workplaces. But how do you choose the right desk?

First of all you will have to find a good compromise on the measures. You may not have a gigantic open space like those of large companies, yet ... there is nothing worse than a narrow desk crammed with objects!

The solution, especially if you have to furnish a small study, is to organize the desk to save as much space as possible. And for this you need a desk with additional compartments and shelves like those you find in our store, a table to work or study that allows you to arrange notebooks and files while saving precious centimeters. Choosing a desk with shelves will therefore be a valid help to work in an organized way: everything will be in its place and distracting elements will be minimized!

One last tip: always evaluate with an eye on practicality and one on aesthetics. Do you have any idea how boring office furniture can be? The secret is this: when you find yourself deciding how to furnish your home study, try hard not to think about what an office should look like, or you will risk choosing a monotonous furniture and the same as all the others. Rather, think outside the box and risk a particular model, with a unique design: it will immediately give a more original look to the entire room.

How to organize your desk so as not to lose focus

We have already seen how to choose the right desk to "get rid of" the most bulky objects. But obviously it's impossible to work without having anything at hand, so ... here are some tips on how to best organize your desk.

First of all: if you work on the computer, you will surely have quite a lot of intricate cables to contend with. The cables don't take up much space, however they give the room a very messy look. Not ideal for concentrating! Then equip yourself with a box for cables or, even better, have fun creating your own with DIY: just take a shoebox, decorate it as you like (perhaps with adhesive paper, or washi tape) and make two holes at the short sides. Hiding that tangle of electrical wires in a nice container will give your eyes instant relief - seeing is believing.

Another formidable ally, to order the desk, is a pen holder or a small table chest of drawers to be placed on your table. A small compact organizer, but also beautiful to look at, in which to arrange the stationery: hiding all those objects from view will allow you to clear your mind and finally concentrate on your work. Help yourself with labels to always know, at all times, where are the things you use most often.

Office chair: which one to choose?

Never, as in the case of office chairs, the keyword is comfort. Especially if you spend many hours in front of the computer, taking a correct position is very important to avoid any postural problems. Not only that: an uncomfortable session is really the easiest way to lose concentration! The home office should be, for you, like a small sanctuary dedicated to work: any element of distraction must be promptly banned.

To choose the right office chair for you, therefore, you will have to take into account several factors. First of all the padding, which must be sufficient to guarantee you a comfortable seat even after several hours of work. Then, the backrest. The perfect one will be tall enough to support all your weight: in this way you can assume a relaxed and relaxed position, avoiding overloading your neck and shoulders incorrectly.

Choose an ergonomic and height-adjustable office chair like one of our armchairs, and remember: if there are armrests, your office chair will be even more comfortable! Finally, always check the pedestal too: is it wide and stable enough? Do the castors look solid and secure? All these features will help you identify the perfect office chair to furnish your home office.

And now there is only one thing left to do: choose your favorite color!

And next to the chair, a comfortable footrest!

There is another element that allows you to work in comfort: the padded footrest!

We bet that, after a day spent at your desk, you always find yourself in the same position: with your legs crossed. True? We knew it! Unfortunately, the most comfortable position is not always the healthiest. Crossing your legs for too long, specifically, can lead to damaging stagnation of circulation.

What is missing to furnish a home studio and work in comfort? A small, comfortable and versatile footrest that will allow you to stretch and stretch your limbs after long hours in front of the computer. And most importantly, it will save you from the temptation to cross your legs again. In our store you will find a series of upholstered footrests in many different colors and of various sizes, perfect accessories also for decorating a home study!

To furnish the studio it is always recommended to use colors that are as neutral as possible. We agree: tones that are too bright could cause the brain to tire. But that's what small accessories are for! To bring that note of color that livens up the environment without overloading it. So choose a bright shade for your office footstool: it will give the room just that touch it was missing.

Bookcases for home stud room. What you need to know before buying one

Only her was missing from our list! The study bookcase is the main piece of furniture to set up the home office: nothing like a beautiful library gives the room the right atmosphere. But how to choose the perfect one for your needs?

First of all, as always, we evaluate the spaces we have. If the room is large, you can opt for a model with a regular structure and combine several shelves, until you fill the entire wall: in this case you will have plenty of space available for your books and files. Maybe your work is related to accounting: in this case you will know very well that files and files take up a lot of space in the office. Keeping them all in view on the shelves, perhaps sorted by year, will help you work faster, because you will know where the files you need are at all times.

If, on the other hand, you need to furnish a small study, a tall and narrow study bookcase is the solution for you. According to the style of the house, choose the right color and finish. In a context with classic furnishings, a bookcase in dark wood will be perfect; on the contrary, a modern studio will prefer white or black, perhaps combined. If, on the other hand, you love the Scandinavian style, light wood combined with white will be the perfect combination to furnish a study with a simple, tidy and bright look. To get a pleasant glance try alternating books and magazines with green plants (which purify the air and promote concentration) and special knick-knacks.

A bookcase is also an excellent choice to enliven a white and too bare wall a bit, even better if combined with shelves. Hanging shelves on the wall is also an excellent solution for furnishing a home study and having extra surfaces available to use for all your needs. In our online store you will find many bookcases of different colors and sizes, perfect furnishing elements also for your study room!
