If you’ve thought about setting up your own home office, buying the right office furniture and stationery are the two main things that you’ll need to get started.

Look no further as we take you through the step-by-step essentials to get your home office up and running.

Office Furniture

1. Workstations - A workstation can be integral to a home office and is generally the central hub of all activity, so it’s vital to buy one to meet your needs. With prices starting below £50, there’s never been a better time to start fitting out your new office.
2. Office Desks – Quite often an office desk is all you need to get your home office started. With ergonomic, executive, rectangular and wave desks available, you can be sure to get just what you want.
3. Seating – Choosing the correct chair to suit your needs is an important decision. There are all sorts of styles and sizes to suit your budget, from standard office chairs to posture, heavy duty and executive chairs.
4. Storage – Pedestal drawers, bookcases and shelving are great ideas for incorporating storage space into an office and for long-term, professional storage needs, filing cabinets are a great addition to an office.

Stationery

Here are some of the basic essentials you will need to get your home office stationery stocked up nicely.

• Post It Notes provide a quick and easy solution to note taking and act as a great physical reminder to stick up around the office.
• Scissors and Trimmers are really handy around the office when documents or packaging need resizing.
• Sticky Tape is essential in every office, when something needs sealing closed or sticking up.
• Paper Clips will be used on the majority of files and documents, so it’s important to keep them in stock.
• Desk Trays and Organisers are really useful for things like in-trays, out trays, to do trays and desk organisers for your pens, pencils and scissors.
• Staplers are essential for when things need fixing together permanently, rather than just held together with a paper clip.
• Hole Punches can be really useful for when things need putting into a file or folder for better storage.
• Others: There are a range of other things you will need, such as pens, pencils, envelopes, glue, pins, staple removers, calculators and many, many more.
