In the midst of her cottage makeover, our Creative Director Emmie has been working on her home office. In a cosy cabinet in her living space, Emmie’s home office is compact but functional, and above all, absolutely beautiful. But with home office decor on the mind, we thought we’d share Emmie’s top 10 home office essentials from our new arrivals. Whether you have a small space to work with or a grand office, here’s everything from luxury office chairs to finishing touches to your home office decor.
Home Office Furniture Sets
Chipping Wooden Desk With Drawers
Starting with the main event - every home office needs a desk. Whilst small home office desks can be ever so charming in a smaller space, the Chipping Wooden Desk With Drawers is striking and functional. Crafted in reclaimed wood with 5 drawers, this wooden desk is the perfect starting point for your home office. The natural wood finish complements all home interior styles, making it a beautiful blank canvas to style your home office around.
French Farmhouse Wicker Office Chair
Up next - a luxury office chair. The importance of a high-quality, luxury office chair lies not only in the aesthetic, but also in the physical and mental benefits for the office user. Investing in an ergonomic, well designed office chair will reduce back problems, neck pains, and most importantly, that uncomfortable feeling of wanting to jump away from work before you’ve got everything done. The French Farmhouse Wicker Office Chair is the genuine definition of a luxury office chair. It’s thoughtfully built with a rounded back, and perfectly levelled armrests, promising hours of unmatched comfort. Not to mention, it’s also brimming with timeless beauty. The perfect pairing with the Chipping Wooden Desk With Drawers.
French Farmhouse Armoire - Natural
Onto storage - If you have the luxury of a larger home office investing in storage is the ideal way to keep your home office organised. You know what they say, a clear space is a clear mind. The French Farmhouse Armoire Cabinet in Natural is an impressive investment piece, which styles beautifully alongside other natural wood pieces. Coveted for its effortless elegance and practicality, this armoire cabinet is the perfect size for your home office. Plenty of space to store your office essentials, but not too much that it ends up being your dumping ground.
Home Office Lighting
Once you’ve curated the foundations of your home office, the all important ambiance must be created too. For optimum productivity, the ambiance must be relaxing enough to keep you calm on rough days, but not too relaxing that work simply doesn’t happen. To find balance, Emmie likes to mix wall lights dotted around, and a desk lamp to avoid a brash light overhead.
Flora Aged Brass Wall Light
The Flora Aged Brass Wall Light has a feminine feel with a delicate floral inspired shape, yet feels infinitely timeless due to the matte, aged brass finish. When lit, these striking wall lamps promise a warming glow, and the adjustable knuckles allow you to direct the glow towards your home office desk.
Hoxton LED Desk Lamp - Black
The Flora Aged Brass Wall Light has a feminine feel with a delicate floral inspired shape, yet feels infinitely timeless due to the matte, aged brass finish. When lit, these striking wall lamps promise a warming glow, and the adjustable knuckles allow you to direct the glow towards your home office desk.
Smaller Storage Pieces
Not everyone has the luxury of a larger workspace, so of course Emmie’s home office essentials cover smaller storage bits to pop in tighter spaces.
Rustic Wooden Storage Ladders With Baskets
This wooden storage ladder with baskets is one of our favourite all-round pieces, which works in any room. In the home office, it would be the perfect storage piece for organising your files, pens, and workspace essentials you need at arms reach.
Nara Large Wicker Basket
We believe that every space that’s partial to clutter should have a wicker basket. Wicker baskets are the key to quick and easy organisation, particularly for larger items. Fill the Nara with important work files or even extra soft furnishings for late night home office reading.
Home Office Finishing Touches
Farringdon Wirework Office Bin & Letter Tray
The Farringdon Wirework Office Bin and Letter Trays are of course home office essentials. If you’re going to scrunch up your paper in frustration mid way through a rough work day, you should at least throw it in the bin. The letter tray and office bin provide all the functionality, without ruining the aesthetic with plastic.
Sences Alang Alang White Reed Diffuser
And finally, the last, but most definitely not least, a scent. A signature scent is not only a home office essential, but an ‘everything’ essential. No room is complete without a candle or a reed diffuser. Emmie loves the Sences Alang Alang White Reed Diffuser for a home office thanks to its distinctive scent that uplifts and unwinds. Notes of creamy tonka bean and musky cloves will subtly fill any space with a harmonious mix of sweet, spicy, and nutty. And, if that doesn’t set your work day in good stead, then we’re not sure what will.
