For many of us, working from home is now part of our lives, love it or
hate it. Whatever your take on it all, getting your home office set up properly
can really boost your productivity.

We recently covered everyday carries (EDC)
for the pro on the go, but suppose you’re working from home, perhaps a couple
of days a week? A great home office will help you make the most of it.

However, it’s important to remember two things here. Not everything on this list is
essential and once you’ve bought it, it’s yours. For example, if you’ve got a
great pair of earbuds with a decent mic that can connect to your computer, you
can skip our recommendations. If you’ve already got a decent chair, then you’re sorted there, too. That said, here’s part one of our guide to creating a great, productive space.

Laptop Stand (and Keyboard)

We’ll assume you’ve got a laptop. But do you have a laptop stand? These elevate the position of your laptop and make it easier to see the screen
and to type for long periods of time. Regarding the latter, we’d also suggest
that you invest in a decent keyboard, wireless or wired, to make life just a
little more pleasurable. For tech enthusiasts, perhaps a mechanical board is the way to go?

Monitor (and the Mount)

Invest in a decent monitor. There’s no need to be staring at a laptop
screen all day, why not give your eyes a break? It doesn’t need to be
anything fancy (unless you’re gaming during your lunchbreak), but a decent
resolution and size can help ward off eye strain. Monitor sorted? Excellent, know
find a decent monitor mount. They should put your screen at eye-level and preferably
have some storage options, too.

Admit it, you’re a little jealous.

Souris et tapis de souris

You’ll want one. Trust us. You don’t need anything fancy, but we’d
suggest an entry-level “gaming” mouse, they really are much better than the
cheap deals you’ll come across at an electronics store. If you’re organized and manage to charge things, why not go wireless? Also invest in a mouse mat,
or better yet, a desk pad. They’ll stop your table from getting scratched and
most of them are machine-washable for when the coffee gets split.

Audio Gear – A Camera, Mic and Headset

OK, conference calls are a pain, but hey, this is a home office, and what are offices great for if not useless meetings? Don’t worry though, there
are plenty of great ways to make your life a little easier. Consider getting a
microphone, it doesn’t need to be expensive. Alternatively, invest in a headset
with a mic, though don’t cheap out. Again, the cheaper gaming headsets are something you might look at. You’ll also need a decent webcam, there are loads
out there and you don’t need anything fancy as you’ll be blurring the
background in every shot, right? Finally, consider speakers, they don’t need to
cost the earth and they’ll be vastly superior to your PC’s built-in audio.

Bureaux

There are plenty of options here. Standing desks are all the rage, and
there are affordable (manual) versions for sale at everyone’s favorite blue and
yellow flat-pack warehouse shop. Alternatively, buy an office desk at an office
supply store. But, we’ll leave you with one suggestion – make sure that whatever
you get also includes drawers … we’ve lost countless office supplies thanks to
enfants curieux.

Chaises

Don’t be cheap here. A good chair is wonderful thing. We’d suggest
doing your research, but there are all sorts of brands that offer full back
support and their products are well worth a look. There are also kneeling chairs
that help you work your core and balance balls which do the same. Remember, you’re
at home now, you can do what you want.

So, there you have it, your ultimate home office. Whether you’re a stay-at-home forex trader, an HR professional doing all your admin from home on a Friday, or a conformité guy ticking all the boxes, we hope we’ve
offered you a few suggestions to make your remote work life just a little
plus appétissant.

In a following article we’ll cover some of the technical gear you might
need such as VPNs, password managers and more.
