Having an office within the home, and working from home is a dream for many. After all, it has so many advantages over a regular office. It saves time travelling from home to office, saves you the effort to drive (and possibly be exposed to all the pollution outside), it gives you the comfort of your own home (that no office can ever give), and most importantly, it gives you the flexibility of utilizing your working hours smartly. The trend towards working from home is on the rise, and I thought of writing an article on furnishing the home office that would be within your budget, and exceed your expectation. Take a look:
This home-office depicts a modern, minimalistic style that features a well-designed desk and a comfortable chair. The desk has a glass top and an MDF frame. It has a long drawer that has many integrated compartments built into it for organizing your stationery better. There is also a provision for a computer keyboard. The glass top makes it easy to look through the drawer, such that the stationery and office supplies in the drawer are in open view and easy to locate. The chair is quite comfortable to sit in with an embedded cushion. However, for long hours of work, I would recommend to go for a more comfortable office chair with features such as adjustable armrests, lumbar support, adjustable height, etc.
Here is a stylish workplace designed especially for the home office. The desk is simple, but features attention-grabbing sawhorse legs. The desk has four shelves for storing stationery items. The chair has a cushioned design with modern look.
This combination of desk and chair can create an extremely stylish and yet comfortable pair. The desk has stylish swoop shaped legs and is a unique combination of wood, steel and glass. This is a perfect example of contemporary design, inspired by the industry. The desktop also has a sliding computer keyboard tray. The chair is made of black bonded leather, is smooth, and accented with contrasting cream stitching. The steel frame has a chrome plating. The chair swivels 360 degrees and has adjustable seat height with tilt control. In other words, this is a chair that has a high style quotient, and at the same time, is highly comfortable to sit on and work for hours.

If your previous employer made you get used to a more spacious desk, this one should be your perfect solution. This contemporary designed L-shaped desk offers plentiful desk space along with a great file storage solution. The desk is made from silver powder-coated steel frame and has a veneered MDF desktop. Pair it up with a timeless office chair that is packed with all features of comfort, and see your productivity increase in no time!
Installing other accessories such as a white board, an office lamp or a pin board may also be a good idea. Invest in a quality home-office and give your work-from-home stint a professional and comfortable touch.

Neutral colors seem to be the choice for the larger purchases – things like the sofa and the carpet. Again, the neutral colors can be accented with bright colors such as acid green or violet tulip. Color forecasters unanimously agree that neutral colors are THE color of choice this year, either as standalone monochromatic one’s, or as bases for brighter hues.
Brown, the all-time favourite for all kinds of interiors – home, industry or institution, is seeing a mild change. The chocolate brown is being replaced by the lighter brown – such as the brown color of spices and beverages. Grey, however, is expected to surpass brown in popularity, especially the metallic and the pearlescent accents.
And then there is the quintessential green that is becoming a favourite for the eco-friendly.Various shades of green are showing up in everything from sofa fabrics to curtains, to counter-tops.
Blue – the color that denotes consistency and stability – is seen in almost every home décor product, and can also be paired with some other colors such as brown.
Pink and red are finding their place in homes that reflect vibrancy. Pink can be found in a romantic bedroom, in a modern girl’s living room, and even in the kitchen.
The combination of black and white had been very popular in Europe for the last few years, but it seems like this combination is slowly losing its charm. It has been suggested that this combination of black and white be complemented with some hot accent colors such as acid green or dazzling blue to create the latest look.
The colors to avoid this season:
This year, avoid investing in the true yellows – these are not “en vogue” this spring. Orange is another color that is best avoided this season. If you are a real admirer of orange and cannot do without it, then do go for corals or an earthy, deep orange. Remember to use them only as accents, and not as standalone.
Soft lavenders and true purples are taking a back seat, and do not go for those if you want the latest look for your home.
Follow these suggestions, and show off your style by becoming a trend-setter this season.
