How to set up your home office?
Once you have decided where you want to build your home office, it’s time to plan the space out. Where will the biggest item fit? Once you have a desk area then progressively optimise your space with all the little extras that will make your life easier when accomplishing your workplace goals at home.
Home Office Desk
For a home office desk, we like something simple and minimalistic with ample room to set up our laptop and monitor. Our preference goes for standing desks that are easily adjustable with an electric system. The Actiu Talent. With manual height adjustment, you can easily turn it into a standing desk when you want to stretch your legs and with its mobility it can even be folded and put away if you are tight on space.

Monitor Arms
If you are working with a second screen to your laptop or dual montiors for your desktop then a instantly improve comfort, health and productivity as you get manoverability that you just can’t get with a traditional monitor stand. For those with a sit stand desk the montiro arm is crucial. We suggest the M8.1 from Humanscale. Fully compatible with traditional desks and sit/stand workstations alike, M8.1 meets a variety of configuration needs for single monitors from 6 to 28 pounds or – with an optional crossbar support – dual monitors up to 12 pounds each.
Featuring innovations like Humanscale’s patented Weight-Compensating Spring Technology and Smart Stop functionality, M8.1 enables the personalization and flexibility needed for today’s evolving workplaces.
Home Office Chair
For your home office chair, it’s worth investing in quality as this is an item you will probably use the most, an ergonomic chair will play a big part in your comfort at work and ultimately a chair not fit for purpose will lead to a drop in productivity or even injury. Our preference goes to high-end office chair brand Humanscale World. The chair is made right here in Ireland and truly is one of the best ergonomic chairs on the market. It will keep you comfortable for hours while sitting at your desk and is highly customisable for anyone looking for a particular look.
Laptop Stand
A laptop stand is the thing that will make a big difference throughout your day, its often forgotten but for those working on a laptop, once you use a laptop stand you will never go back. It’s inexpensive and discreet but will make it so much easier to work comfortably.
