Center of Attention

The desk is indeed the center of attention within your at home office so it must be right. This piece will dominate the room and will be where you are posted all day long. Even when space is limited it is still important to choose a piece that is nice looking to set an ambiance. While maintaining function is important having a versatile work station is key. Maintaining balance while working from home allows an individual to “leave their work at work” so choose a piece that will allow you to store any extra paperwork away and really let it be part of a living space. While you’re at it pick out a chair too!
