More often than not these days, if you meet someone with an office job, there’s a good chance they’ll spend at least some of their working week at home.
It’s perhaps one of the small wins we got from COVID, but the way working from home—and, more importantly, stylish home office equipment—has evolved is something we’ll always be grateful for.
The Best Home Office Equipment, According To marie claire:
But how do you make sure you actually have an enviable home office setup, rather than simply spending your days hunched over a laptop on the couch?
For me, it starts with a standing desk and ends with the stylish accessories that allow me to personalise my space, making it feel less like an office cubicle and more like an extension of my home.
Whether you prefer something monochrome, sleek and minimalist, or a space filled with pops of colour and personality, there are plenty of ways to give your home office equipment an upgrade that makes working from home feel a little more chic.
Below, discover our personal favourites, from the essentials—desks, chairs and the optional walking pad (I’m still hooked)—to the stylish accessories we can’t live without.

Office Essentials
When creating a home office—whether it’s a small nook within a larger space or a dedicated room—it pays to consider your furniture first. Desky offers adjustable (read: standing) desks in a range of sizes and materials, allowing you to customise your setup to suit your space and your working style.
Next, choose a chair that you’ll genuinely enjoy sitting in, because comfort is non-negotiable when you’re spending hours at your desk. And if you’re in your wellness girl era, a walking pad or vibration plate can be a great way to break up the working day and keep you moving.

Lighting
Many millennials, myself included, have come to a unanimous conclusion: we hate a big light. So needless to say, it’s soft, subtle lighting only. Thankfully, there are plenty of options to choose from, depending on whether you have room for a lamp on your desk or would prefer a taller floor lamp to cast a softer glow across the space.
And this is your sign not to forget about candles, either. A candle in a subtle scent you love might just be the thing that makes your working-from-home experience feel a little more romantic.

Desk Accessories
The right desk accessories can make all the difference when it comes to making your workspace feel considered rather than purely functional. Think water jugs and glasses, a small vase filled with flowers (because who can be stressed or upset when there are flowers around?) and other desk-sized homewares that make it feel more like an office you actually want to be in.
You can also consider adding some artwork. It doesn’t have to be a large, wall-sized print; something small from a local artist you discover at a market, or an A4 piece that fits neatly into a frame on your desk, can be just as effective.

Office Organisation
What home office would be complete without a little organisation? From larger storage solutions, such as drawers and shelving, to smaller tools like daily diaries and calendars, there’s something undeniably satisfying about the art of organisation.
And yes, perhaps it is time to start looking at those 2027 planners. My pick is Papier, where you can choose from different covers and bindings, as well as personalise your planner to make it truly your own. Oh, and don’t forget something a little motivational. I’m adding the KIC Goals Journal to my cart and setting myself up for success.
