The pandemic ushered in a new wave of remote and hybrid working, and there is no doubt that even in this post-pandemic world, they are here to stay. As of 2022, 16% of companies worldwide are fully remote, and it is estimated that 22% of professional workers will work remotely by 2025, as opposed to 6% before the pandemic.
If you’re reading this, you probably have a remote or hybrid work style and are looking for home office ideas. We have you covered.
Before we get started, we want to emphasize the importance of having an ergonomic setup even for your home office. Ideally, your home office setup should be as comfortable and ergonomic as your office workspace setup because you would spend most of your time sitting at your desk and chair in front of the computer. Investing in furniture pieces that fit you and your space and will last for a long time is crucial.
Some essential ergonomic items you should have in your home office include:
Task Chair
The ergonomic task chair is full of comfort and adjustable features that allow you to maintain the correct posture while being productive on your job. In the same way that a quality mattress is unmatched, nothing beats an ergonomic task chair.
Monitor Arms
Adjustable monitor arms help to place your monitor in the proper viewing position for your posture so that no matter how you sit, your screen will be right in front of you.
Keyboard Tray
Adjustable keyboard trays can be attached to any desk surface and set to a comfortable level for your hands.
Task Lighting
Task lighting helps to reduce eye strain.
Power Module
Power adapters help to make device charging convenient and keep your plugs within reach.
