COUSINS DESIGN INSPIRATION: CREATING A HOME OFFICE SUITABLE FOR YOU
IN THE HOT SEAT
In addition to the desk, the next important piece of furniture is the chair. If you are working for long periods at your desk, it is essential the chair offers comfort and support. Having a higher back chair helps to support your back. The practicality of the chair should also be another deciding factor. Features such as tilt adjustment, gas lift seat height adjustment and castors for manoeuvrability all help to add to the practicality.
Perhaps you want to make a statement with a bold colour or you want the colour to work with other existing parts of the room, such as wall colour, curtains or blinds.
For another stylistic approach, you can even use a dining chair, this works great especially if the desk is going to be in your dining room!
STORING THE ESSENTIALS
Although still a relatively new concept but remaining as popular as ever in the world of interiors, the home office is now considered a staple part of the home. With many still working from home thanks to a new way of life after the pandemic, Cousins Furniture have put together a guide on creating a home office suitable for you.
STARTING WITH THE BASICS
Firstly, it is important to create a workspace that encourages creativity and productivity in a comfortable environment that suits your needs.
Finding the area in the home is the first step. Whether you have a whole room to utilise as a separate space, or if you can only make room for a small desk in the corner of your living room, it is imperative that it works for you.
The first and (probably) most important piece of furniture for the home office is the desk. Finding a desk that not only fits within the space of which you are going to be using but also offers practicality and durability, is important. Choosing a desk that comes with integrated storage such as drawers or a sliding pull out tray, is a great way to store stationary but also to put away anything that can make the room feel cluttered when you have finished work for the day.
A great solution is that it does not necessarily have to be a desk you use as your main surface. Console Tables and Dressing Tables are a different alternative to a desk in the sense that they are often slimmer in stature whilst also tending to have drawers too, so you still get to keep some storage solution! Even if your home office becomes surplus, you will still have a use for a console table or dressing table!
At Cousins, they have various cabinet furniture available as not only office, but also dining or bedroom furniture. Ranges such as Weston, Durban or Cape for example are also dining or bedroom ranges that can help blend in the same room, so your office furniture will not stand out too much. The Cape and Durban ranges are modular furniture ranges, offering flexibility and are highly practical so will not compromise on work or floor space either. Inspired by the needs of open plan living, they allow you to create functional combinations of shelf units and cabinet pieces that fit seamlessly within dining, lounge or home office settings. Popular combinations include a corner desk, wide sideboard with an open display unit sitting on top. By utilising storage furniture like a stylish filing cabinet or open display unit, you can keep everything tidy and divide a room to make it multi-functional. When everything has its own home, it is easier to maintain a tidy, clutter-free desk, making it easier to focus.
Cousins Furniture’s collection of space saving office furniture is styled to help you visualise your dream flexible workspace, with many in stock for immediate delivery.
