When you shop for furniture, you have to think about everything. Do you often have guests who perch on the arms of chairs at parties? Do your kids flip over the backs of sofas? Are you prone to spilling on your furniture and need a stain-resistant fabric? Your life and your style goals matter a lot in the process. However, there are also objective ways to save money and ensure quality. Hi, my name is Allie, and I love shopping, decorating, writing and creating a fun but functional home for my family. In my furniture blog, I want to combine it all, and I hope these posts help you.
More people are doing their jobs from home than ever before, and it's never been more important to have a home workspace that works for you. Before you make your pick and order your new desk, sit down and consider your priorities: what do you need to work effectively, and how can a custom-built desk setup help you to achieve that?
Small, multi-purpose spaces
Not everyone has the luxury of a separate study, office or home working area. Many people are working from their bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens--especially young professionals living in shared accommodation, who are likely to be renting and therefore unable to make significant changes to how their home functions. That doesn't mean a proper home workspace is impossible! Having your desk custom made means it will be able to fit into any nook or cranny you have available, even if it's of a non-standard width. A desk with a folding top can be put away at the end of the workday, preserving your floorspace and giving you a way to separate yourself from work even when your working and living areas are one and the same.
Dual screens and specialised equipment
Many jobs require a little extra equipment like digital sketchpads, recording setups, or dual monitors to improve your workflow. Trying to fit all this stuff onto a standard desk designed to hold a single screen and not much else can be a challenge, but a custom-made solution can give you the space you need. Built-in tablet rests, charging ports and wire organisers are a gamechanger for streamlining your working experience, especially when you can decide for yourself where they go!
Comfort, ergonomics and safety
You're likely to be spending a lot of time at your new desk, so it's important that it's arranged in a way that is comfortable for you and doesn't cause or exacerbate long-term health concerns. Your custom-built solution can include roll-out mouse and keyboard rests to protect your back, shoulders and wrists, ways to angle your screen and/or laptop for easy visibility, and any number of personalised tweaks. If you think you'd benefit from something that isn't part of a standard custom package, ask for a consultation: you might be surprised by how much is possible.
Your workspace should work for you, rather than you needing to adapt your working habits for it--and a custom-made solution is the best way to achieve that. A chat with a pro can help you to clarify your priorities and figure out what you need, so get in touch with a local firm today! Your back will thank you for it later--and your boss might, too.
