When the pandemic first arrived, nobody imagined we'd still be working from beds, dining tables, and couches months later. But withWFH settling in for the long haul, it's time to carve out a dedicated corner of your home for the daily grind.
The goal is to breathe new life into your workspace with a handful of pieces that feel professional and polished (well, as polished as one can be on Zoom in sweatpants). From investment-worthy classics to wallet-friendly finds, we've gathered the smartest ways to give your home office a fresh feel. Since WFH won't last forever, we've also included pieces that pull double duty—like a rolling supply cart ready for a second life as a bar cart once this is all over.
Desks
The classic:Herman Miller's then design director unveiled this vibrant surface back in 1958. Today it stands as a mid-century icon that makes even the dullest paperwork feel a bit brighter.
The splurge:Antique brass legs paired with a sleek glass top turn even routine paperwork into an elegant affair. This is the kind of desk you actually dress up for.
The steal:Offered in four color combinations and a compact 42 inches wide, this little standout holds its own in tight quarters. Bonus: The pencil drawer can be installed on whichever side suits your setup.
Chairs
The classic:The price tag comes with good reason—upholstery, seat height, frame, and caster options enough to induce decision paralysis. Yet ultimately it's the rugged build and clean lines that justify every penny.
The splurge:When the back of your chair faces the room, choose a seat that looks polished from every angle. The curvy silhouette and creamy velvet upholstery stay comfortable through the longest shifts.
The steal:When the laptop shuts for the evening, this mid-century pick seamlessly transitions into extra dining seating.
Wall Organizers
The classic:Offered in seven colors and compatible with awidevarietyofaccessories, this wooden pegboard adapts to practically any room.
The splurge:An ultra-sleek wall caddy proves that organization doesn't have to be purely utilitarian—it can be genuinely beautiful.
The steal:This metal photo grid comes with 20 chip-bag clips, four nontrace screws, four regular screws, one large basket, and two small ones—endlessly customizable, in other words.
Desk Lamps
The classic:Task lighting earns its name with,ahem,tasks of all kinds. From desk work to bedtime reading, it delivers focused brightness without washing out the entire room.
The splurge:Brass and marble team up to create a lamp so striking you may catch yourself admiring it mid-Zoom.
The steal:Twist the base clockwise to dial in your preferred brightness on this minimalist pick.
Wall Art
The classic:Minted carries a wide selection of limited-edition fine art prints, with framing available.
The splurge:A Slim Aarons portrait of Truman Capote in his Brooklyn Heights home sets a serious mood—and offers a glimpse of what everyday WFH could aspire to.
The steal:Print a favorite shot from your own camera roll on gallery-quality paper. With sizes ranging from a practical 8-by-10 to an oversize 60-by-40, there's a fit for every wall.
Accessories
The classic:This beloved houseplant doubles as a living sculpture, with blooms that outlast any other indoor variety—low-maintenance at its finest.
The splurge:With a knowing nod to the 1960s, this wall-mounted piece keeps you on schedule without skimping on style.
The steal:This apartment-friendly rolling cart is a multitasker: one month it's office supply storage, the next it's fully stocked as a bar cart.
Office Supplies
The classic:Ink is forever, so channel your inner architect and invest in a refined mechanical pencil. Crafted from brass, it's as satisfying to use as it is to admire.
The splurge:Bring a touch of playfulness to your desk without sacrificing function. Available in eight colors, this stapler proves that office supplies needn't be dull.
The steal:Even the most devoted techies appreciate the details of Leuchtturm1917's signature notebook. Pages are numbered and formatted with a dotted grid rather than lines. The back cover even includes a jacket pocket that fits a 6-inch ruler, and two ribbon bookmarks are sewn into the binding.
