Home office
Office chairs, monitors, desks and accessories for a home office that holds up for eight hours a day.
Remote work has become a permanent part of working life for many people, but far from everyone has a workspace that works. A kitchen chair and a laptop on the coffee table give you neck and back pain within weeks. A well-planned home office does not have to cost a fortune – but it does require prioritising the right things.
Our rule of thumb: spend on the chair and the monitor first. They are what you use all day. Next come a height-adjustable desk, lighting, webcam and audio. In our guides we explain what is worth paying extra for, and when second-hand is the smartest option.
If your work causes you physical problems, talk to occupational health or your employer. Many employers pay for or contribute to equipment. Our guides contain affiliate links.
