How to Design a Functional Home Office
As a computer technician, I am surprised by the many home offices that I visit that are arranged in a haphazard order with old furniture. With some simple rearranging and budgeting, you can make your home office functional and stylish.
1. Designate a room to be used for the office and just for the office. This is important. Just as you don’t have a bed in your living room (sofa sleepers excluded) you should have only office furniture in your office, and every piece should serve a purpose.
2. In designing a home you have two options: you can use furniture from relatives and friends or you can save for and purchase new furniture. If you really want to be able to design your office, I recommend saving your money and purchasing new furniture. Although you might be tempted to just get some old office furniture from a yard sale, leave the room empty and let ideas fill your mind on how to utilize the space.
3. Picture it. Try to visualize what you want your office to look like and then look online and in catalogs for furniture that matches your tastes and preference. Once you found the furniture you want, you may have to decide between picking it up locally and putting it together yourself, or having it delivered and put together for you.
If you choose the latter, budget for it in your savings. If possible try to theme your furniture. If a collection exists that offers everything you are looking for in furniture and style, go with that collection.
4. Create it. Once you have your furniture, arrange the furniture to your liking, but these things in mind: is everything accessible? Can I get to everything without having to move anything? In designing your office, every piece of equipment should have a place for itself: computer, printer, LCD monitor, shredder, filing cabinet for papers, laptop, etc.
Don’t crowd an area, and experiment with placement.
Make sure all electronic items have surge protectors. If you have had a recent spike, replace your surge protectors with new ones. Read the rest of this entry »
Office Furniture Tips
With your office being a place where you spend time every day, it needs to be comfortable, practical and stylish. Because your office is also a reflection of who you are and how you work, you need to set a good impression for your guests and employees by choosing the right office furniture.
The number of choices available at chain stores and specialty office supply stores might seem overwhelming, but there are a number of tips and tricks you can use to ensure you are furnishing your office properly to meet your current and future needs.

Plan and Research
Your office is the place where you will spend most of your days, so it is imperative that you carefully plan the pieces of furniture you will purchase and how the furniture will be laid out. Impulse buys are a no-no. Remember, while that bright red leather office chair might look
trendy and edgy, it easily can end up an outdated eyesore that you have to look at all day, every day for the next few years. Consciously plan your office’s color scheme and theme before you hit the stores, and evaluate your furniture needs by asking your employees’ input as well. Read the rest of this entry »
Home Office Furniture Ideas
A home office is important for those people who work from home or simply want a quiet space to work on the evenings and weekends. A well-designed home office creates a comfortable, inviting environment.
Several furniture styles work for a home office depending on the level of formality you’re looking for. Using multiple furniture styles means that you can find comfort in a number of ways when you’re working from home.

Desk
The desk is the centerpiece of any home office. Most people use it to hold their computer, so consider the size of your computer when choosing a desk. A large, dual-monitor desktop will command more desk space than a sleek laptop. A small office might benefit from an L-shaped desk that abuts the wall. This desk style provides space for both computing and working.
A more traditional stand-alone wooden desk works well for a classic office. Often, these desks include a few drawers to store your belongings. Choose a metal or wire desk for a more modern look—these desks will take up less room than bulkier wooden desks. Consider the size of your space and your decorating style when choosing your desk.

How to Choose Quality Computer Office Furniture
Computer office furniture is sold nearly everywhere. Costco, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Office Max, and high end furniture stores.
That means there is a large range when it comes to quality versus crap. This article explains how you can tell the difference and choose quality computer office furniture for your home or place of business.
Get physical with the computer office furniture before you buy it. Knock on the wood. Grab the desk and wiggle it back and forth. Does it move? It shouldn’t move easily. If the piece feels sturdy, it probably is.
Determine the composition of the computer office furniture. If it’s metal, ask what type of metal. Steel is best if you’re talking about metal.
In fact, stainless steel is better. Maple, and oak are good woods if the furniture is made of wood.
Check the rolling keyboard shelf if the computer office furniture has one. These should glide without a hitch in and out. They should make no noise and feel well lubricated when they move.
Check the shelving units on the computer office furniture. Are they held up with pegs? This isn’t necessarily bad. If the pegs, however, are plastic, walk away. It’s not a quality piece.
