Home Office Furniture: From Formal Workplaces to Functionally Furnished Home Offices

The unique East Rand town of Benoni is the home of our business, Quantum Office Furniture. We specialise in the supply of stunning ranges of the latest fresh, modern Home office furniture designs, as per our company’s name.

It’s All at Home

Benoni is a peaceful, leafy, largely residential area with tree-lined roads. Many a dwelling is set in lovely spacious gardens. To top it all, many Benoni residents no longer need to leave their comfy homes to commute to work at formal places of work.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, the way in which people work and their working conditions have changed enormously. Successive stages of lockdown meant that most South Africans, previously office-bound at formal business premises, began working from home. Home offices were created throughout the country, a move which is virtually the norm now, merely two years after the start of the pandemic.

For some years prior to today’s adapted conditions, working from one’s residence was permitted by numerous organisations abroad, but many South African businesses remained hesitant to allow their employees to do likewise. Now, even the smallest corner of one’s house is a potential office, providing it’s suitably furnished.

Demand for Home Office Furniture

We’ve certainly recognised this trend since the demand for suitable furniture for domestic workspaces continues to grow. It’s important to dedicate an area in the house to utilise for work, because sitting at a desk on an office chair in a secluded, private, and quiet place helps one to concentrate and focus on the tasks at hand, free from undue interruptions.

In fact, many companies and employees have reported that they perform better and are considerably more productive when working from home. Moreover, these people save time and money by avoiding a lengthy commute in peak-hour traffic and wasting extra money and fuel in doing so – this despite incurring the one-off cost of procuring new or fresh home office furniture.

Now, the home office has assumed its current prominence, as has the fabulous furniture with which to equip umpteen types of fully functional residential workplaces. No matter how compact or small the workspace, furniture that fits and functions to plan may be found at our store. Fresh ideas and furniture innovations and possibly space-planning services are all you need to create an attractive, functional residential workplace, small or otherwise.

Common Sense Tips and Fresh Ideas

• Take measurements of the entire floor space – with and without any furniture, since size and furniture choice does matter in all room sizes, but particularly those that are small.
• Consider possible locations of essential elements, firstly focusing on the largest pieces, including the quintessential desk and its chair.
• Note the position of power points, doors and windows, natural light, and ventilation, plus the direction in which the room faces, which will affect ambient light and temperature.
• Ensure that you have ample light and ventilation. Desk lamps do wonders, whilst taking up minimal surface space.
• If already equipped, declutter and remove unnecessary items permanently. When equipping a small home office, less is definitely more. We have a lovely range of desks, designed specifically with smaller residential offices in mind.
• Ideally, start with a blank canvas and make a sketch plan of likely furniture placement possibilities. Less is more in limited spaces, so don’t allow clutter to build up again.
• A single broad, wall-mounted shelf serves almost just as well as an iconic traditional desk. Loose pedestals that slide in beneath the shelf may be acquired separately.
• Think “unusual” and utilise compact, normally awkward nooks – a great, practical space-saving solution that maximises use of available space.
• A lick of paint and the paint’s colour may provide the inspiration to develop ideas for a small domestic workspace. White and lighter shades perceptually create more space and seemingly open up the area. Add focal points and accent colours with small items – a pretty pot plant, wall art, a contrasting wall panel, brightly coloured desk accessories or lampshades, and more, with which to get your idea machine going.
• Unobtrusive, yet stylish home office furniture enhances the ambience of your study, bedroom, living room, landing at the top of stairs, or even your kitchen – providing that your home office furniture, its selection, and its placement is done in style, with space in mind.
