DESK CHAIR

A good desk chair is a MUST, if you are stuck with a dining room chair, get a great lumbar pillow to help with lower back support.

DAYLIGHT

Set up your workspace near a window to rely on natural daylight over artificial lighting, this will help with your circadian rhythm while working from home and make you happier! Truly!

PLANTS

Bring the outside in! Fill your space with plants or flowers, there is a plethora of scientific evidence that having biophilia in our homes supports our mental health and productivity.

RUGS

Define your spaces with a rug, this will help distinguish workspace from leisure areas. Always remember to put an under-pad beneath a rug for more cushion and less strain on your joints.

NATURAL MATERIALS

Find a desk in wood or with a stone top, natural materials help connect us with nature and improve indoor air quality.

STIMULATION

Don’t over sterilize your space. Some tend to want a minimalist space for working, but our brains are actually developed to look for information-rich complexity in our spaces. Whether it is a neat pile of books, artwork on your walls, or patterns in your rug, having some pattern complexity will help keep you mentally satisfied and work important muscles in your brains that help keep you focused and productive.
