14 Accessories For The Ultimate Home Office
Slide Nr 1
By now, after months of social distancing, many of us have settled into a somewhat comfortable and predictable work life from our own homes. We have designated and decluttered our work areas, and gotten all our bases covered. Desk? Check. Chair? Check. Functioning laptop? Check. But what about the details? The decor, the scents, the plants and the gadgets that bring life and comfort to an otherwise not so thrilling experience. We bring you 14 accessories to make the most out of your home office experience.

Humidifier And Scent Diffuser – No more dry skin after long hours of working from home. Humidifiers help bring much-needed moisture back into your home/office air, which in turn helps with skin issues like dryness, as well as respiratory conditions such as allergies. They can also improve sleep conditions: Adding a few drops of the essential oil of your choice can help relieve stress and revitalise your mood. Japanese brand Asakuki makes a line of diffusers and humidifiers that are not only cost-effective and easy to clean, but also nice to look at.

Wall Flower Pots – Okay, so you’ve got everything you need to make your home office effective, but how about making it stylish and appealing? Even the simplest of home decor can infuse your work day with new life; take these affordable and modern ceramic wall planters, for example, which you can fill with succulents, cacti or other small plants to enliven your space with greenery. You can also get creative and use them as supply holders or containers, it’s up to you.

Wireless Phone Charger – Chargers can be vexing. They get lost all the time, and more often than not, the cords break in just a matter of months. This RAVPower Fast Wireless Charger is a must for anyone stuck buying several traditional phone chargers every year. It’s compatible with most cellular devices, case-friendly and can save you up to 30 minutes of charge time. Besides that, it’s small and convenient, and there won’t be any fidgeting with an already-breaking-even-though-I-got-it-two-months-ago cable. Just set your phone on top, and that’s that!

Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer – Home office and a warm cup of coffee by your side just make sense, right? Well, sometimes the warm part gets a bit tricky: working long hours on a project or spending days in back-to-back calls don’t really work in favour getting up to make a fresh pot or (horrific, we know) microwaving a cold cuppa. Enter Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer, which will keep your beverage of choice hot for as long as you want.

Relaxing Scented Candles – Aromatherapy is one the most effective ways to cool down and unwind after a stressful day at work, and scented candles are a particularly great way to bring some calm into your home office. From soothing lavender to sweet vanilla and vibrant citrusy scents, there are endless aromas to choose from; it’s up to you and your personal taste how you decorate and boost your office experience. In any case, we recommend choosing candles made from natural, sustainable ingredients, like those by UK brand Green Tulip.

Self-Warming Blanket – There are few things cosier than cuddling up on the couch with a nice, soft blanket. Except maybe having a throw blanket that warms itself in a matter of seconds. This machine-washable throw is not just extremely soft and comfy, it also has three levels of heat you can adjust depending on your preference. Which means you can now keep perfectly warm and comfortable when working on your many projects and assignments – especially if your officemate (read: roommate) likes to keep the AC on full blast.

TENS Muscle Stimulator Digital Massager – Working from home means your beloved ergonomic office chair probably got left behind. This, of course, can translate into days of discomfort, which naturally lead to weird twitches, cramps and body aches. Worry not, we have a solution: This TENS unit muscle stimulator works as an electric massager you can operate at home. It provides pain relief, and can be used to massage your shoulders, neck, back or any other part of your body that’s in desperate need of tension relief. It works by sending pulses through your skin that stimulate the nerves in the area you wish to treat, therefore calming them, and can be used in sessions of up to 60 minutes.

Hammock Chair – Missing the days when you could unwind by the beach? Yeah, we feel you. How about bringing the beach home? Slip into zen mode in your own hammock chair, and take a much-needed break to sip on your preferred beverage, listen to some relaxing music or read a book. Hanging from one suspension point, this hammock chair takes up relatively little space, so it’s the perfect stylish addition to your apartment or office room. Cute, comfortable and practical: it all checks out.

Foot Hammock With Headphone Holder – Working at a desk comes with downsides, even when working from home. One that sounds familiar: foot pain. This foot hammock could be the solution. Portable, lightweight, adjustable and suitable for all desk types, it also comes with a bonus built-in headphone holder to also help clean up the clutter. And it’s made out of 100% premium quality cotton fabric. The gift that keeps on giving, anyone?

Scented Room Sprays – A nice-smelling room is a room we want to work in. No funky odours or food aromas distracting us from our tasks, thank you very much. If candles or oil diffusers are not your style, give scented room sprays a chance. Personally, we’re partial to Asutra’s line of aromatherapy sprays. Take your pick from different scents, ranging from energy-boosting Citrus and Eucalyptus to focus-enhancing Peppermint and Rosemary or calming Lemongrass and Jasmine, among others.

White Noise Machine – Trying to work while your family yells on the other side of the wall, or while your neighbour is seemingly building himself a new home? This white noise sound machine was made just for you. Ideal for creating a disruption-free, relaxing work area and blocking out unwanted noises, it provides 10 different fan sounds and 10 ambient noise variations, including “white”, “pink” and “brown” noise. By adding one to your home office area, you’ll be able to focus more effectively. As a bonus, it can also be used to get a good, peaceful night’s sleep – meaning you’ll be even more productive the next day.
