How do I properly set up my Home office?

For many, the work corner has simply developed over the years, while the rest of the apartment has been lovingly furnished. It somehow works, but it rarely feels really good.

After all, you spend a large part of your day right here. Therefore, it is all the more important that your workspace supports you instead of holding you back. If your workspace looks more like a compromise than a focus, you are not alone.

In this post, we show you how to create an Home office with a few essentials that not only looks good but truly supports you in your daily work.

01. The Desk = Centerpiece

A height-adjustable desk frame is one of the most sensible solutions for us in the Home office. The reason is simple: You can switch between sitting and standing, and you automatically stay more active. This is good for your body and helps you stay more focused throughout the day.

Instead of adapting to a standard desk, you build your workspace the way you really need it. That’s exactly why we have been producing our own modular desk solutions at Natural Goods Berlin for years. Our height-adjustable desk frame EXPERT ROUND or height-adjustable desk frame EXPERT SQUARE is now in use by everyone on the team. And we pretty much agree: in everyday life, it’s a 10/10.

You can easily combine the height-adjustable desk frame with a tabletop that fits your home, whether you already have one or are choosing a new one. The assembly is straightforward and completed in under 30 minutes, as we provide everything you need for it.

The stepless height adjustment of your desk frame from 60 - 125 cm allows you to work flexibly, while 3-stage telescopic legs, adjustable feet, and a load capacity of up to 120 kg ensure maximum stability. The smart controller with memory function saves your two preferred working heights.

Do you prefer to work at a fixed desk? With our selection of table legs, even an old desk quickly gets a new look. Here are our table legs & desk frames

02. An ergonomic chair

An ergonomic chair definitely belongs on the must-have list for a healthy Home office. It supports the back, preserves posture, and makes long workdays significantly more pleasant.

Fortunately, there are now many manufacturers that make ergonomic office chairs that are not only functional but also look good. It is important that the chair fits you and can adjust to your sitting position.

03. Order is half of life

A tidy workspace helps to stay focused. Everything that is visibly lying around is distracting, often completely unconsciously.

Small solutions are often enough: A desk drawer or under-desk drawer creates space for pens, small items, and notes. Cable management or cable ties ensure that cables do not lie around annoyingly. A shelf on the wall helps to store things and keep them out of direct sight.

With us, you will find the right organizational helpers:

04. Separate monitor: More overview, better posture

Many work in the Home office with their laptop directly on the desktop. This is convenient, but not ideal in the long run: The gaze is directed downwards, the neck becomes tense, and posture suffers greatly.

A separate monitor and an extra keyboard can quickly provide relief here. This directs your gaze at eye level, promotes an upright sitting position, and noticeably relieves the neck and shoulders. Especially during longer workdays, this makes a real difference.

With our bar console SCHRÄG or GERADE you can easily create a second level on your desk. The monitor is raised, and there is additional space underneath for the keyboard, notes, or technology. This keeps your workspace free and organized.

05. The space is part of it

Many underestimate this, but the workspace at home is more than just the corner where the desk is located. Whether you work from home occasionally or completely remotely. Our motto is clear: Make it nice for yourself.

The right lighting plays a big role, especially in winter when it gets dark early. Ideally, a lamp where you can adjust the light temperature is best. Plants bring calm to the room and have a pleasantly balancing effect. Personal elements like photos or prints on the wall create coziness.

Just be careful not to overload it. Too many things can quickly appear restless. We prefer to keep it minimal. This helps with concentration.

06. Conclusion

You see, a work corner in your own four walls doesn't have to be complicated to set up. Just a few simple changes can noticeably improve your workday.
