Office Furniture Buying Guide

Setting up your office furniture that can go with just about any style and office size. Below, check out some furniture ideas and pointers for setting up your work area, whether it be at home or in an office building.

Tips

* If you're setting up at home, make sure your office space is in a relatively quiet part of the house. If it's right off of a high traffic area like the kitchen, you might want to consider how the noise is going to affect getting your work done. * Try to pick a decor before you start shopping for office furniture. For example, if you decide that you want most of the furniture to be black, then you'll know what you want to pick out for your desk chair. If your office is already set up for you, then this shouldn't be a worry! * Don't forget the essentials: a desk lamp, a phone, paper and pens. It sounds simple enough but you may not think to purchase these things when getting all of your other supplies. * Lighting is always key. When picking out where you want to position your desk, make sure it's near a window or gets enough daylight. Lamps work well at night when you don't want to strain your eyes, but having some light during the day is helpful and more conducive to getting your work done.

Work Station

Your work area is important to making your office a comfortable environment. There are varying desk sizes and different kinds of work spaces to help you get your work done with ease.

Storage

There are a variety of ways to store your office supplies. You can place valuables in one area while using shelves to store your reference items. Filing cabinets are also helpful when you have a large amount of information to organize. See some suggestions below.

Furniture

If you have some extra space in your room, why not accommodate your guests with a leather chair or sofa to sit down in? Decide what you want the feel of your office to be before picking out the furniture; if you are going for a more cozy feel then some couches or loveseats would compliment the theme. If you want spare items then one or two less cozy guest chairs might be a good idea. Check out a few recommendations below.

Seating

If you don't have a comfortable chair, it can be pretty difficult to get work done. Chairs are designed for just about any type of preference, so you have the freedom to pick one out that suits you best. If you typically find that chairs are too high or too low for your taste, make sure you buy one with adjustable armrests and base. Also, if you tend to have back problems when sitting up straight for long periods of time, consider a chair with some extra cushioning in the back.
