Top Tips When Buying Home Office Furniture How we can add value to your office space

Setting Up Your Workspace with Home Office Furniture

Thanks to the pandemic, the home is now part of the South African workplace scene, almost as if it’s been the norm all along. In this article, we’re offering helpful advice on how to set up your ideal office space and choose the right home office furniture.

Changes and the New Norm

In general, across the world, and in particular, throughout South Africa, people have adjusted to vastly changed lifestyles, circumstances, and working conditions. One doesn’t know whether everything will ever again be the same as it was before the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, or whether the “new normal” is to remain with human beings permanently – forever.

 

Return or Stay

Nonetheless, chances are good that you may still be working from your home and making do with whatever furniture you’ve had on hand. Now that the pandemic’s most stringent lockdown stages and subsequent countermeasures have been relaxed considerably, government decision makers’ less strict approach mean that more folks are permitted to return to their company workplaces.

However, many staff members don’t do so. They’ve become accustomed to working from home. In fact, they now prefer working from their residences, since their employers have no qualms about their preference. At long last, employers have realised that working from home may increase productivity and workplace performance, despite their former fears to the contrary.

 

Equipped to Focus on Work

Now that you have a choice in the matter and you’ve opted for a home office as your regular workplace, it’s the optimal time to give thought to converting your office space into a more professional, better laid out, more meaningful place in which to focus on work.

Unless already done, this probably means buying home office furniture with which to set up a more professional environment.

 

Tips, Suggestions, and Guidelines When Looking For Home Office Furniture

The next question is: How do you go about choosing your home office furniture?

• Take a good look at how the space appears now and start thinking about how it should look.
• Think about what you must have in this space, what you’d like, and what you dream about, then prioritise accordingly, unless you budget allows you to obtain just about everything on your wish list.
• Declutter, which is always a good idea, even if you don’t have to accommodate new purchases and extra pieces.
• Decide which furniture stays and what might go, as well as what you intend to do with unnecessary items, including donating them to a favourite or worthy cause or putting them into storage.
• Take measurements of the entire existing or proposed home office space as well as the open floor area and the area that’s occupied by items that you wish to keep.
• Draw up a basic plan denoting these items and areas, as well as openings and airways – doors and windows.
• These steps should help to clarify, evaluate, and visualise your creative and essential thoughts and ideas.

When it’s time to get your creative side going, consider:

• Who will be using this office – permanently or occasionally?
• Is this home office to be used as a workstation or a private workspace for one?
• What equipment and other items do you want/need to keep? It’s important that you determine how much surface and floor space is required.
• If deemed necessary, think about what provision you’re able to make for additional storage.
• Do as much online research as is required about what suppliers have on offer, their quality and customer service records and reputations, new office and home furniture trends and which appeal to you, and as always, supply, delivery, and installation lead time and costs, plus the supplier’s terms and conditions.

Request a quote from shortlisted suppliers and voila, now you’re just about ready to start shopping for the home office furniture that you’ve chosen in principle.
