Choosing a Desk for Your Home Office

You work from home, so recognise the importance of efficiency in all aspects of your day. Choosing a desk for your home office should meet the two pre-requisites of saving you time and effort, and possible 'money' as a bonus.

Big bulky standard office furniture can mean your home office space (possibly your spare room) is going to be untidy, awkward and uncomfortable. Many business owners pay great attention to their office space - and try and choose a desk that provides the ultimate performance for the limited space.

Recent studies have shown that three-quarters of home business owners do not have a specific home office kitted out with the appropriate equipment. With new and affordable desks, any room in a home or apartment can be extended into a suitable and professional home office.

The basics you will need are a desk, a chair, and somewhere to store your paperwork. While a chair should be high on your list for the good of your health, it is rendered useless without a desk.

Your desk should offer you ample flat surface to work on, and provide enough room for your keyboard, mouse and monitor. If you use a laptop, you may still consider a separate monitor for offering better posture. At your desk, you may have to arrange separate areas for different aspects of your work. Typing, signing documents and other projects.

The style of the desk you get will depend on the nature of the work that you do. If it is mostly manual work you do, a lot of clear space would be appropriate so you can shuffle papers around.

If you work mostly on the computer, it's obvious your going to need a smaller space to accommodate your keyboard and mouse.

If you do a lot of reference work, and need access to multiple heavy folders and manuals, you'll need a strong desk to support these books. In addition, some shelving in easy reach with improve the efficiency of your work.

Depending on the room you have chosen for your home office, you could get a small desk for a corner, or a fold-away effort that disappears when not in use. If your work requires a greater degree of storage and extra surface for mail or cuttings etc., you might find it a more appropriate choice to keep your desk out of the way in the basement where you don't have to keep it spotless.
