Making an office oasis at home

By jjohnson

Making our home office an oasis is important for sparking our creativity and productivity. Whether we have a dedicated room, or whether space is tight and our office is our laptop, we can make some changes that will enhance the environment. Creating a special place for our work can help us get into the right mind space. When distractions are eliminated and when we are comfortable, we are more likely to be highly productive.

Here are a few items that can help us craft an inviting office space in our home.

We may think that an office chair has to be a certain design and shape. Actually, all an office chair needs to be is comfortable and appropriate to a healthy posture. These Xtreme Comforts lumbar support pillows can turn any chair into a perfect office chair. They provide the just right support and encourage correct lumbar back posture, thus reducing stress and pain.

For those of us who have back pain that is irritated from sitting in a regular chair, this TechOrbits kneeling chair can change the way we sit. Kneeling chairs are known to promote better back posture. They take the stress out of the lower back by allowing the knees to rest on a cushion. This reduces weight and stress off the lumbar spine and can allow comfort in sitting. This chair height can be adjusted from 24 to 28 inches so it can match our leg lengths. It has caster wheels, allowing it to slide easily on the floor and move in and out of our desk area.

Our laptop or tablet will need proper support, and this Table-Mate folding tale can give us a great work station. This comes with a cup holder to keep our drink out of the way of the working surface. The table adjusts up to six different heights and the angle can be changed three ways. In the back of the tray is a holder that will hold our phone or tablet when we need. It has L shaped legs that allow it to slide under a couch or chair and stay out of the way of our legs.

For greatest productivity we need to take breaks. We may not have a dedicated break room in our home office, but we do have a kitchen. With this bonVIVO stovetop espresso maker we can have quality coffee whenever we want. This is an easy to use, since it works directly off the stove. It is beautiful with its stainless steel construction and chrome finish. The classic and elegant design adds additional benefit to its usefulness.
