Home Office
In 2020, many people have voluntarily or involuntarily "landed" in a home office. Good for those who have a study at home anyway. At first, you can make do with an improvised workstation on the living room or kitchen table. Other family members also make demands on space and want to have the kitchen or living room to themselves. Here, a clear demarcation between work and private life that is clearly visible helps. In the long run, it becomes uncomfortable and the back gives in, and recreational sports are also only possible to a limited extent.
Maintain health - create free space
With designer furniture from the pro office store, it is possible to design the room in such a way that calmness and a storage space are created and order can be maintained. With a shelf as a room divider you can separate yourself, with a good desk and a good chair you maintain your health. If you also like to stand sometimes at work or prefer the change, a standing sitting desk is one of the best tips. A standing seat desk offers both options and takes up less space than a standing desk plus conventional desk. You can find good solutions in the pro office store, such as the Vitra Hack, the Vitra Tyde and the USM Haller Kitos M. If you don't want to purchase a standing seat desk, the Wilkhahn Fold-Up Workspace, which is available in two sizes, will also help. The Workspace can be used as a table top or desk attachment, ensuring that you can alternate between sitting and standing.
The office chair for life
The right office chair is different for each "owner"; there are flexible models without backrests, such as the Wilkhahn Stand-up, or sophisticated ergonomic office chairs with lumbar support, which supports the spine at its weak point. Here, too, a change is recommended: if the spatial possibility exists, the sitting ball for in between also helps. You can find high-quality office chairs and desks from renowned designers in the pro office store.
Design small rooms beautifully
There are also good options for small rooms. If you don't have much space in your home, set yourself apart with a shelf that you can stock from the desk. A roll container can disappear under the desk. If the desk chair is delicate, it won't look as bulky as an executive chair and therefore take up less space visually. Deco in small rooms should be used sparingly, perhaps one large sculpture rather than many small ones.
Light in the home office
Lighting in the home office is also one of the important issues. Avoid glare, poor lighting and the wrong color temperature. Poor lighting strains the eyes, the wrong color temperature makes you tired or invites a cozy slumber. A high blue content activates and provides cold light, a high red content creates warmth and calming. Too much blue, on the other hand, also makes you feel uncomfortable, the color can cause a feeling of shivering.
The dear money
Designer furniture can also be deducted from tax, the taxman makes no distinction between cheap and high-quality office furniture and also sets no financial ceiling. The only thing that may happen is that high-end furniture may have to be depreciated over a longer period of time. If you are a dependent employee, ask your employer whether you can receive a subsidy or even the entire furnishing of your home office from him. From a purely legal point of view, the employer is responsible for the ergonomic equipment of your home office.
