What furniture should be used in the working environment?

Most of our time is spent working, therefore it is important to create an environment that makes us feel comfortable and cosy. Maintaining a good emotional state and a good aura helps to concentrate better on the work at hand, helps to stay focused for a longer period of time and feel more productive. According to psychologists, the right working environment increases people's motivation to work and achieve their best results. It is also important to create such an environment in your home office.

Comfortable, ergonomic furniture or additional furniture that is comfortable to rest on or to work on when changing your body position is probably the most important thing when setting up an office. Properly chosen furniture helps to feel more satisfied with work as well as not to waste time on unimportant things. After all, you do not want to sit on an uncomfortable chair that is too low or a desk that is too high. 

So how to choose the right furniture for your workroom? We have some tips for you:

Choose the right chair.

For people who spend a lot of time at the computer, it is very important to choose the right chair that keeps the body in the right position. When working with a computer, we often make various movements, i.e. we look for documents, answer calls, lean back, etc. The chair should have a comfortable seat and it should be spacious enough not to put any pressure on the legs or thighs. Chairs with adjustable seat depth are worth considering. The back of the chair also plays a very important role. It should be shaped to reflect the anatomical curvature of the spine. It is also advisable to choose a chair with a slightly higher backrest, which is intended to support the head. And the last element of the chair that is really worth paying attention to is the armrests, which should preferably be adjustable.

Desk

Choose the right desk size. First of all, you need to decide if you need a desk only for working with a computer, or if your work is inseparable from various papers, and perhaps you need another larger monitor. In such a case, a larger desk should be chosen. It is best to choose a desk with adjustable height, but if such an option is not available, it is important to choose a desk according to your height. The desk should be at such a height that the shoulders remain in a natural position, in one line, while the elbows should rest on the desk at a 90-degree angle.. Consider whether you will have additional items such as notebooks, books, pens, small stationery. If so, we recommend choosing a desk with drawers where all those small items could be stored.

Rest furniture

Rest furniture is just as important a piece of furniture as a chair or a desk. Soft rest furniture will allow you to take a nap for half an hour, stretch your tired legs, or change your body position while working. After all, sitting for eight hours in a work chair is a real challenge. When choosing soft furniture, we recommend that you pay attention to SLOWDOWN bean bags – armchairs, e.g.: Seat, Seat 100, Lounge, Lounge 100, Tube.In order to achieve maximum comfort, you may combine them with footstools, such as Plus, Plus 100.
