I miss going out to see my friends and co-workers. However, if I want to keep my family as safe as possible, I need to stay at home at all times. Because of COVID-19, protecting my family and myself is the number one priority.
Besides shopping for household essentials, I always stay tucked away nice and cosy at home. Due to the nature of my business, I have my very own workspace, so I needed to invest in high-quality home office furniture from top brands in Singapore.
Setting up a personal workspace at home is much more fun than doing the same at the office. Back when I was still working in a typical corporate office, I didn’t have much freedom when it came to organising my workstation. But for my home office, I could arrange the furniture in any way I want!
There is so much room for opportunity when it comes to designing a home office, including the furniture arrangement. I highly recommend looking for a job that allows you to work at home since it is much safer and more convenient! After all, it is better to be safe than sorry, especially in this Coronavirus-ridden society.
THE PERKS OF HAVING A HOME OFFICE
There is no more fitting (albeit unfortunate) time to have a home office. The fear of getting infected made me set up a personal workspace, free from aesthetic criticism from most people other than my wife and daughter.
Nonetheless, my family helped me with choosing the perfect luxury furniture in Singapore for my office. That was the most enjoyable part of setting up a home office since I have total control over the entire project. Not to mention, there are tons of different styles to choose from, so I can pick whichever one I want.
In terms of finance, the best part of designing my home office is to be able to manage my funds. I can invest in affordable furniture and spend as much money as possible, depending on my budget. There’s a variety of high-quality home office furniture, some of which are affordable and perfect for my workstation.
Another thing to consider about having a home office is the motivation to work. Don’t lie: we all experienced the unsavoury feeling of waking up early with a sour taste on our tongues because we have to work. Fortunately, if you have a home office, you will not have to worry about struggling through your daily commute. Plus, you can sleep a lot more comfortably, knowing that your office is right at home!
Still, my family’s safety is all that matters. With a home office, I can keep myself safe at all times. Having to invest in my preferred luxury furniture is fun, but the main reason for working in a home office is my mission to protect my family.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN DESIGNING A HOME OFFICE?
Just because I have a personal workstation, doesn’t mean I am archaic when it comes to home office furniture design. You can describe my taste in residential and commercial interior design as something leaning towards a combination of contemporary and minimalism.
I am not a professional interior designer, but I can speak my opinions about interior design, mainly regarding home office furniture. For starters, try to look for pieces of luxury furniture that bring joy. I know my advice sounds like something Marie Kondo would say, but it is still accurate. I displayed most of my action figures, statues, and novels next to my desk, and I feel a lot more productive and cheerful compared to working in a dull and uninspiring workplace.
The most manageable piece of advice I can give is to keep your home office spotless. You could use that same tip when it comes to working at the office. However, there’s something about cleaning my home office furniture that feels so satisfying and rewarding. Whenever my desk and keyboards are all dusty and greasy, the germaphobe inside me shouts in joy as I wipe away the dirt with a clean cloth and alcohol.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, INVEST IN HIGH-QUALITY FURNITURE
Quality is the most vital factor to consider when shopping for luxury furniture. The good thing is that there are tons of affordable, high-quality furniture. If you have no other choice, then avoid skimping on quality furniture or else your home office will fail in meeting your expectations!
Go forth and invest in high-quality home office furniture. As long as you have the money and time to arrange your furniture, then go for it. I bought my chair and cabinet furniture in Singapore from Snow Globe, and I have never regretted my decision to do so!
