What are your home office must-haves?

For me it's a separate office to have a clear border between work and life. On top of that I need a second screen and a high adjustable desk + office chair. My nice-to-haves for a good and creative atmosphere are plants, pictures, small whiteboard and a calendar.

Darkness. Lots of darkness. And a lounger. And a pillow to get the right angle on the MacBook 🌚🛋️🧑‍💻

@sentry_co people are different. I love daylight and working with a open window in summer.

@marvin_maendle My laptop screen is the window and the "day-light" 😂

Never bought into the idea of home office. Actually even during the pandemic I used to go out to the office as the only person :)

@pawel_soproniuk If it would be close to my house I would also go more often I think!

Since getting a family, I lost my dedicated room which is not ideal. I would give up most of what I have to have a dedicated room again. Just give me a desk, chair, and laptop but in my own room and I'd be happy.

@rmarlow so important to separate work and life, especially with more people in the house

For me, the first and most important step is to achieve a work-life balance. I also rely on a dual monitor setup and ergonomic desk and chair. And of course, an AC to have a comfortable temperature at my working space. When we started working remotely, I found a company which does home AC installation in Sacramento https://alphamechanicals.com/air... Every time it is hot outside, I think it was a wise decision.

Having a separate office space helps me separate work and life, while a second screen, adjustable desk, and chair are essential for productivity. Adding plants, pictures, a whiteboard, and a calendar creates a creative home office ambiance.

@zekiye_nur_kesici separate office is also the most important thing for me!

The first thing I bought was a standing desk, and it has been fantastic. I prefer a simple, uncluttered space, and my office has a window that overlooks the trees.

@azra_memisevic good view! I also like to look out the window and see the nature.

Nice, I like the small touches like plants and nice decor too :-) For me, having a quiet space is very important. I also have a second monitor, good mic and camera for recording videos 😊

@simona_o_neill3 sounds great. Plants are so important, also in the office for the atmosphere.

A clean working space, a comfortable chair, good lighting, fast Internet, desk organized, headphones, coffee.
A separate office is crucial for a work-life balance. Essential tools include a second screen, adjustable desk, and chair. Like a pilot and car needs a well-equipped car, I need plants, pictures, a whiteboard, and a calendar for creativity.

A clean and organized space, no matter which room you're in. A messy room clutters the mind. Also being close to a window with good sunlight and some coffee help (though this would also be crucial in an office building!).

For me, a separate office is also essential to maintain that work life balance. I couldn't agree more about the second screen and adjustable desk and chair. My nice-to-haves include good lighting, a few plants, and some motivational quotes on the wall to keep the creativity flowing.

@priyankamandal what is the most powerful quote on your wall?

My home office essentials? A designated workspace to keep work from creeping into relaxation time, dual monitors for multitasking like a pro, an ergonomic setup to save my back, and a splash of green from some office plants to keep it all zen. How about you - any must-haves for your workspace oasis?

Good ilumination, of course. Going to the details, is always good to have your personal space as you want to be. For me, should be pictures of my important people and some football things. As well as a plant, of course.

@pablo_rodriguez_aracil sounds good. What football jersey is on the wall in your office? ;)
Pablo Rodríguez Aracil
@marvin_maendle for instance non. I will love to have a retro shirt of some of the big guys, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Pelé, Maradona... you know.

Additionally, integrating plants, pictures, a small whiteboard, and a calendar can greatly enhance the creative atmosphere of the workspace. Speaking of enhancing your environment, I recently discovered that a good office desk made from iron could be a very cool alternative to the usual boring wooden desks. This idea inspired me to transform my garden into a serene retreat with beautiful wrought iron furniture. I added a wrought iron bench surrounded by blooming flowers, a charming table for outdoor work breaks, and a few decorative pieces to create a peaceful and inspiring space. This has not only improved my overall mood but also provided a refreshing change of scenery when I need a break from my home office. So you can check out here https://wrought-iron-furniture.com/

Work-life balance requires a separate office. A second screen, an adjustable desk, and a chair are necessary equipment. All I would need in my own room is a desk, chair, and laptop or just like Happy Limousine Who Manage Luxury and Safety at Work.
