Home Office Furniture In New York to Create your Dream Workplace
Whether you work remotely or take your work home (shame), you need a well-rounded workspace. But, how can you know what furniture you will need to get your home office up and running?
To help you out, we have partnered with Manhattan Home Design. Manhattan Home Design is an award-winning company offering the best mid-century modern furniture. Together we’ve come up with a complete yet efficient list of what you need in your home office.
Use this checklist to create the perfect place to work from home:
Build a Solid Foundation
Your home office starts with the right desk.
But before you buy a desk, consider how much space you have available. Take the time to get the measurements of the place you’ll want an office desk right. This will prove helpful if you’re working with a small room or one that requires a specific size.
Keep in mind also what you’ll do in your home office. If you’re the kind of user that needs some extra space, consider something that offers a storage solution.
Most office desks we offer come with several storage solutions that will adapt to your needs. But you can even get separate storage furniture, like a sideboard or bookshelves.
If you’re working with a small space, consider floating shelves above the desk. It’s a great way to having everything at hand without compromising valuable space.
Our recommendation? Steelcase Standing Desks allow you to change posture and pace throughout your day. They’re a great way to keep you focused and your back pain-free.
Sit on the Job
Even if you use a standing desk to mix things up, you’ll spend some time sitting at your home office. So take the time to ensure that the chair you choose to it’s comfortable.

Light it Up!
Having a well-lit home office is essential to keep eye-strain at bay. Not only that, lighting is a great way to upgrade your home office style. You can do more than adding a desk lamp that will light your way.
We have talked about the benefits of having dual-source lighting before. Manhattan Home Design recommends using a floor lamp. An Arco Lamp will give extra overhead lighting while gaining valuable desk space.
Get Organized
Whether you’re immaculately tidy or wired to thrive on chaos, you need an organization system.
Create separate stations on your desk by tasks. This will help you understand your workspace visually. Styled organizational tools will make your home office interesting and organized.
You can also use shelves and drawers to unclutter your home office and turn it into a clean place to work.
Happy Home Offices, Happy People
Finally, incorporate things that make you happy. You’ll spend a significant amount of time in your home office. Make it a space where you’re actually willing to sit and work for a long time.
For example, some plants will increase happiness when placed at your desk. Inspiration boards, idea books, whimsical accessories, these will make your home office your favorite room.
Of course, there will be more home office furniture you’ll need, based on what you do or what you need. Feel free to visit Manhattan Home Design for more home offices ideas.
