Working from home can be a goal for some people at some point in their career or it may be a necessity at some point in your life. Either way, with wireless internet and a dozen ways to connect with people you work with all around the world, it’s not as difficult to do – and do right – than it used to be.

It’s important to have a clear and set office or workspace that you can associate with work and nothing else. Regardless of the work you do at home, a set space – even if it’s not a different room – can allow you to move things around to avoid distractions and give you the peace you need to give your full attention on your work. Our range of desks is the perfect place to start, thanks to the styles and designs that cater to all your needs.

A dedicated workspace

There are pitfalls to watch out for. Working from home can lead to a number of bad habits. In most cases, there’s no one there to keep you on track and this means it can be easy to become distracted by other things and lose focus – especially if you are sitting on the sofa and the TV is nearby or the phone rings and it’s not to do with work. Some people can use these to their advantage but for many people, it becomes hours wasted that can affect your quality of work, and if you are freelancing or working on your own business, this can have big impacts. You might eat irregularly, and dress standards can also drop since there is no one to see you, and these can also affect your focus and mentality of working at home.

A defined workspace without distractions and a good desk can make a huge difference here. The Satara Mango Dakota Computer Desk is an excellent option for having your laptop or computer on, with enough space to do other things and it is compact. Here, you can place it somewhere without distractions and use it to keep focused on what you need to do.

Desk size, shape and colour

Your home office or workspace needs to be carefully planned out. Depending on the space or room available, you want a desk that fits in with the décor and style (unless you are planning to redecorate first) that gives you enough space to do everything you need but gives you room to move or have other people meet with you in comfort.

Smaller spaces can take advantage of our Mandir Sheesham Corner Desk. Perfect for utilising corners, it gives you the freedom to have a window next to you or to face away from it entirely, making the most of the light without distractions. The shelves are great for files and computers and you’ll have enough leg room and workspace for anything. Its colour also lends itself to almost any style and décor already used in the room.

A very good choice is the Satara Mango Dakota Pedestal Desk, which has storage space for any supplies as well as files or computers and plenty of space to work on. This can be put to great use anywhere in a room and gives you more than enough space to do anything you need.
