Home Office Bargains
In my last post I talked about some ideas that I had about setting up a home office. Today I want to look at all the different options for decorating, or as in my case, redecorating your home office.
Now as I said in my last post, it is a good idea to find a reasonably secluded location for your home office. But if that is simply not possible, it may be a good idea to set up a kind of shed in the backyard which you can then set up to use as a home office! These are admittedly not cheap, but they cost less than a room addition, don’t require contractors and can be assembled and ready for use in one to four days. Cedar shed has a great selection of ready to assemble backyard sheds which you can use as a home office.
The next step would be the appropriate furnishing for your home office. The basic requirement is a desk or computer work station and a comfortable ergonomically designed chair. Be warned that if your work involves long periods of sitting at your desk, a well designed chair is a must, if you are not to be beset with problems such as backache and all manner of other discomforts!
Hooker Furniture gives you a lot of home office options but the items were not priced on the website and you are asked to feed in your zip code to find a dealer.
Office Furniture is a site that offers an extensive range of home office furniture. They charge $159 for this very smart and well designed computer desk. I liked their executive desk for $329 which is a simple classic style.
Keeping in my mind that a work chair should always be a swivel and tilt variety I also liked their range of office chairs, which start from $98 for this nice black office chair.
Wholesale Furniture Brokers is another site with an extensive range of home office furniture. I liked their computer desk with bookcase for $179.
I really enjoy the option of working from home and these days it is surprisingly doable!
I have been wanting a new office chair for a while and these look to be the ones for me. I will definately get one of these and have a great office chair to relax in. Thanks

Ooooo~ That office chair look mighty comfortable. I don’t mind sitting on it whole day. =D That’s right. Don’t stinge on the chair. Spend less on the table doesn’t matter but the chair must be of good quality and comfortable.

I wouldn’t use it for an office, but I have kinda been wanting a shed in the backyard…

There is no area of the home that you can actually seal off to make an office. Specially if you have a three year old following you around the place.

I like the cedar sheds as an office. I work from home, and sometimes I think it would be better if my office was under the same roof that I sleep in. They looked like they may be a little cool for Canadian winters though.
