Refreshing your home office to match your work style

For the creative thinkers, your workspace should be as imaginative as you are and refreshed to be the home of brainstorming new ideas. Start with a wide desk that has enough space to spread out your sketch pads, brainstorm boards or notebooks without feeling crowded. Keep colourful stationery, sticky notes and paper within reach, stashed neatly in desk storage for scribbling down ideas when inspiration strikes! Add a bright desk lamp for late night idea sessions and keep the creativity flowing by making your space comfortable and cosy with abstract rugs under the desk and a comfortable chair. Keep your headphones tucked away in a set of drawers to keep the space tidy but ensure they are within reach to tune out distractions when the ideas start flowing.

Minimalist to-do lists 

If you love ticking off a neat to-do list and keeping your workspace tidy, refresh your space with a sleek desk and matching chair in calming neutral colours like white, beige or warm wood finishes. Keep your desktop and mind clear by filling your space with stackable storage trays, desk organisers and labelled containers that make everything easy to find (and put away!). Tidy up your tech with our cable management solutions to keep power boards, cords and cable clutter under control. To add a touch of personality to your space, a small desk plant or scented candle is a great way to add calm to your new space while contributing to the minimal desk setup and overall look of the room.

Create a space that makes homework feel (almost) fun. A well set-up study zone for kids and teens encourages the right balance of learning, creativity and play. Add a small bookshelf or shelving unit to the space for school and reading books as well as tubs for school backpacks and tech. Set up the space with bright lighting and colourful décor but ensure the space is tidy to avoid unnecessary distractions when it comes to afternoon homework and assignments. Make it fun for the little ones with themed accessories from their favourite shows and movies and a mini whiteboard for doodling ideas and solving those tricky maths problems. A wall calendar or planner is a great way to help them learn organisation skills and keep track of school projects.

Small space, large ideas

Not everyone has a dedicated office or room in their home for work or study. If you’re working with a nook, hallway corner or part of a shared room, it’s all about choosing smart, space-saving essentials. Choose a compact desk with built-in drawers to stash away your everyday work gear. Add floating wall shelves above your desk to free up surface space while still keeping your must-haves within reach. Foldable laptop stands, slim desk lamps and mini organisers are great for flexible set ups that you can pack down or shift around. With our home office refresh tips and office furniture at our famously low prices, you don’t need a whole room to get into the zone.
