We hope everyone is doing well and that they are staying safe, at home and keeping their social distances. For M2 Office Interiors it is still business as usual as the Government has put office supplies as an essential business so that more people can work from home with the items they need. The current situation while not ideal it is perfect for starting the practice of home office ergonomics.

The right chair for you could be just a phone call away.

Ergonomic Desk

Movement helps promote circulation and relieve stress on your back and muscles. Sit-Stand Height Adjustable Desks help reduce and prevent back problems by promoting movement. It’s for these reasons that companies are embracing this way of working because the wellness benefits to staff are enormous. Particularly as our working day is getting longer, It is well documented sitting for more than eight hours a day is extremely bad for one’s health.

Electric operation means that the user can adjust the desk to their own height, easily with the touch of a button, and alternate between sitting and standing positions safely and quickly. This makes work more comfortable while standing or sitting and improves both health and productivity.

Monitor Arms

Don’t strain your neck or change your posture for your monitor, get complete control of the placement of your screen with adjustable monitor arms. The great thing about a monitor arm is it’s not only functional and a good way to improve overall comfort in your workspace, it also frees up your desk so you have more room and less clutter.

The sign of a good monitor arm is one that has 360 degree tilt movement, height adjustability, viewing angle adjustability, distance setting – these are all the features that an ergonomic monitor arm should have.

Light

Natural light has been shown to raise energy and alertness in the office. Research from the International Well Being Institute and World Green Building Council reported that employees who worked next to windows enjoyed 46 minutes more sleep than those who didn’t (outside of work). Employees who had access to natural daylight were shown to be 40% more productive, on average, than those who worked under strip lighting.

While choosing where to work from home, try to position yourself near natural light. It will lift your mood and concentration.
Where access to views and daylight is difficult, circadian lighting provides a great alternative. This LED lighting design emulates real light and changes throughout the day, casting a different light, just as the sun would.

Task-based lighting is something you should consider for your home office. Home lighting tends to be more atmospheric lighting that specific to a task, apart from the kitchen potentially. Invest in a desk light for the purpose of reading or working in a correct light.
