6 Stylish Home Office Ideas

Essentials: A desk, chair, storage… and a view

First, consider the desk’s placement in the room. Your view from the chair should align with your needs.

To boost concentration, place your desk facing a wall. For inspiration, position it to view the entire room or in front of a window for a glimpse of the outdoors.

Choose an office chair with armrests, wheels, and adjustable settings for maximum support if you plan to spend long hours at your computer. For occasional use, a simple chair can add a more stylish look to your home office.

Dreaming of an executive home office? The Neghan offers a comfortable work surface, storage with two drawers, and a shelf. Its matte-finished metal X-base is striking. The Stealth, a customer favourite at Mobilia, has a flamboyant personality yet remains lightweight with its sleek lines and glass top. It even incorporates a filing cabinet into its design.

Want to double your workspace? L-shaped desks are practical and functional, creating a productive teleworking space for two people.

Finally, consider storage: a well-organized home office ensures productivity and creativity. Use drawers, shelves, and bookcases to maximize available space. Under the desk, a freestanding or wheeled filing cabinet is ideal for keeping documents within reach.

Prioritize multifunctional furniture in small spaces

A smart home office will be comfortable, ergonomic, and arranged to accommodate other activities outside of work hours.

For small spaces, choose compact furniture or lighter materials, like the Westlyn desk. Its high-gloss white finish and minimalist design give it a very sleek appearance. It’s available in two sizes and can be paired with a console or filing cabinets from the same collection. The Winter desk, on the other hand, is ingenious with its multifunctional design that rotates 360° to transform as needed. A true gem!

If space allows, add a rest area near the desk with an accent chair or a pouf. You can also add a secondary work surface with an extra office chair to vary your positions throughout the day.

Your new ally: The side table

One of the perks of working from home is setting up wherever you like. While a structured setting is preferred for video conferences, curling up in a comfy chair or sofa for brainstorming is perfectly acceptable. A side table makes it easy to set up wherever you want!

A side table allows you to move your laptop easily for impromptu meetings. Enjoy a flexible and efficient workspace.

Choose a side table at the right height to place electronics, a cup, and other accessories needed for a productive day without excessive bending.

Convert the kitchen or dining room into a home office

Has your kitchen or dining table officially become your desk? Opt for the comfort of a traditional office chair with wheels. A low-back model like our Eban chairs is more discreet.

You can also choose a comfortable, padded dining chair for working at the table. For the kitchen island, prefer a stool with a backrest for better comfort.

When mealtime arrives, you’ll need storage for your computer, cords, notebooks, and other daily tools. Forget the old filing cabinets we all know; there are elegant and practical solutions today to “hide” the workday, which can also serve as a console table or sideboard.

Vary light sources

Artificial light is just as important as natural light for setting up a home office. Vary light sources and their intensities to avoid harsh contrasts and create a warm yet functional atmosphere.

Place your desk near a natural light source and choose a lamp with a broad beam and warm light bulb. Opt for a pendant light and floor lamps to envelop the room in a softer atmosphere.

And don’t forget a desk lamp with direct lighting for your work surface!

Impress with a polished decor in video conferences

Teleworking imposes unusual demands, inviting colleagues and clients into our homes.

Virtual meetings expose part of our decor, prompting careful selection of what to show in the background: a well-organized bookshelf, a wall art piece, a beautiful floor lamp, or perhaps an indoor plant adding a touch of nature.

If you don’t have a green thumb, choose realistic artificial plants. A great way to add a touch of nature without the hassle. Canvases, memorable photos, and rugs can also make a big difference.

Teleworking is here to stay. Make yourself comfortable and optimize your space with well-designed versatile furniture, adequate storage, and accessories that brighten the space without cluttering it.
