Unlike the shared office buildings of years past, a home office is truly YOUR space. You can’t be told that a certain plant is good for morale or that a certain radio station is more productive to the overall team; no. Here is where YOU decide what works for YOU. One of the perks of working from home is that you are your own boss when it comes to your environment.
We suggest you think carefully about what your home office should look like. After all, you are going to be spending most of your time in this space. What wall art would you prefer and how does it impact your work and feelings? Would you like to sit facing a window? Which part of the room gets the best light? How many plants would you like - if any? Where should your desk go? What office accessories do you want? Do you want music? Don’t worry if you aren’t quite sure. Here at Flexispot we have some ideas to help you.
Standing Desk
We know what you might be thinking: am I cool enough to pull off a standing desk? The answer should always be yes, because this is your space, not anybody else’s. A standing desk is more than just a cool new trend, it has health benefits that really should be more common knowledge. Just by standing, you’re automatically being more active which directly leads to enhanced blood flow, where the long term effects in terms of reduced stress and lower chance of heart disease are well documented.
We recommend the Flexispot Active Standing Desk EQ5 for a sleek, professional look yet with the warmth a home office deserves. To fully master the standing desk experience, we also offer the Standing Desk Anti-fatigue Mat MT1B to prevent soreness in your feet from standing for too long. With this ergonomic standing solution, you’ll really be watching the hours absolutely fly by without so much as an ache from your heels.
Now, if this isn’t for you, we understand. It’s YOUR home office, after all. Just know that our standing desks are adjustable so you can go from sitting to standing just like that. And when you are sitting, it’s important that you’re doing it in the right way.
Ergonomic Chair
To work effectively, you need the right tools for the job. Typewriters had their time, but if you were at a Zoom meeting and your peers saw you clacking your notes on some machinery from 1934, we think there would be a medical professional knocking at your door before the day was done. And it’s the exact same thing with our office chairs. After an hour or two, or maybe even less, our backs remind us that they exist. So how can we shut them up?
Ergonomic chairs. Say it out loud. Sounds good, right? Ergonomic literally means ‘designed for efficiency and comfort in the working environment’. Well, that sounds absolutely perfect for a home office, doesn’t it? A Flexispot ergonomic office chair is specifically designed to improve posture while working, resulting in little to no back pain. It also decreases stiffness and straining of the hips which, in turn, enhances circulation, helping boost the body’s metabolism. All of this leads to significant long-term beneficial health effects and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Can you call your home office complete without one of these?
Cycle Desk
We know, we know. Trust us, we know. But you’ve got to admit it’s a bit cool, right? An exercise bike made for working. Space for your computer, keyboard, mouse, drink, really all you need to make you feel productive. The whole idea behind it is that professional people might not have the time to effectively exercise, but why not combine work and working out?
It might seem silly at first, but it’s actually more productive to exercise and work at the same time. If the body is active, the brain is active. Your concentration is performing at high levels and, despite actively exercising, fatigue seems to be less of an issue. You’ll find you’re doing more in less time, and it means you’ve burned off the calories from last night’s takeaway before you can tuck in to today’s hearty luncheon. We’re sure you can burn that off before work’s over, don’t you?
