Office Desks that Steal the Show (and Where to Find Them)
A well-designed desk can change how you work If you’re feeling bogged down with work or study in your usual workspace setup, it might just be the environment itself that's getting you down. As the saying goes, “a change is as good as a holiday”, and maybe upgrading your desk is just the thing to help you get back in the swing of things with renewed focus and motivation. Getting yourself organised with a new office desk in NZ could improve clarity, minimise those habitual distractions and help you get stuff done like a boss. At Urban Sales, we have some of the coolest home office desks NZ has to offer. Let us tell you a bit about them. Sit-stand desks that do more than move Who says you need to sit at your desk? Only sit? If you’re nimble on your feet and like the idea of standing tall even as you work, a sit-stand desk may be the way to go. Because we all like options, and a better posture doesn’t hurt either. With our sit-stand office desks NZ customers love, height adjustment is simple. Just operate with easy-to-use controls and minimal cables. Check out our electric height-adjustable desks like Linspire Ascend and Linspire Lumen for a nifty, minimalist look. Up, down, any which way. Your desk should (literally) rise to meet you, and not the other way around. Linspire Lumen Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Riser Stand Linspire Ascend Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk 1.2m, White Compact desks that keep things tidy and calm Even if you’re living in squeezy quarters, there’s no reason not to have a desk. No matter if you’re renting a studio, living in tight student quarters or working in shared spaces, there’s no need to hijack the dining table. Laptops, cables, chargers, pens, papers and staplers don’t clear up that easily off your dining table when you need space for a pizza. A desk marks your personal workspace, a place where you get things done. Choosing a compact desk keeps your things clutter-free and your mind calm, giving you more mental space. Besides, those little desks pack a big punch. They have all those handy features like slim drawers for your pens and pencils, hidden storage to tuck away extra cords and papers, and pegboard panels if you want to use up some vertical space and hang up inspo quotes, pooch photos, scissors and tax receipts. It’s a way of clearing up your desk surface while still having those things on hand. And speaking of inspo, take a look at our Bailey Desk with its clean, Scandinavian vibe and discreet, slimline drawers, handy for keeping things close by, but out of sight. If you’re short on room but want to use vertical space, check out the Linspire Ascend Desk with Shelves, which has it all. Shelves for storage and a pegboard for attaching hooks, cups and you-name-it. “But I truly have no space for a desk”, you may say. One look at our MODE Larkin Minimalist Folding Desk and you may think otherwise. If you’re wondering, “Where can I buy an office desk?”, you’ve just found the answer. Linspire Ascend Desk with Shelves, Natural & White Loft Ensio Desk, 1.4m, White Solidwood Bailey Desk with 2 Drawers, Natural Desks with built-in storage that still look sophisticated No matter how big an office desk is, a clever design will do a lot for you. Big or small, the right desk keeps you comfy, organised and far from losing your keys in a paper pile. Take our Linspire Lumen Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Riser Stand, for example. It’s your absolute bestie for keeping your posture in check while you pretend to be super productive. No more hunching over like a cave troll, because this baby brings your screen to eye level and maximises desk space for all those coffee cups that mysteriously multiply during work or study hours. Then there's the Linspire Slate Dual Study Desk. This one’s a game-changer. It's like a desk that plays nice with others. It’s great for families or couples who want to work side-by-side (or engage in a friendly competition of ‘who can avoid work the longest’). And let’s not forget the Linspire Noble Desk with Shelves. This beauty has a place for your screen right in front of you, with shelves that look like they’re ready to hold your favourite books, or a collection of impulse buys from online shopping. Plus, there’s an additional cupboard that’s just begging to house all the snacks you're secretly stashing away. Oh, and one more thing. If you’ve got a smidge of space next to your desk (or even a little nook under it), why not think about adding a workspace drawer unit or two? Some of these are taller to match the surface height of a sitting desk. And then there are those nifty little ones on castor wheels that you can slide right under. You can easily wheel them out when you need to stretch your legs, then pop them back underneath to reclaim that precious space, just like a desk Tetris. It’s about getting clever about saving space. Just something to think about. Loft Ensio Desk, 1.4m, White & Light Wood Linspire Noble Desk with Shelves, Natural & White Linspire Slate Dual Study Desk, Grey & White & Yellow Linspire Amie Desk Finish your space with a desk that reflects you So, you’ve figured out your practical needs. Nice job. Now comes the fun part: picking a desk that speaks to your vibe. You want something that showcases your unique style, maybe a warm Nordic look, sleek’n’minimal, or going all out with contemporary flair. After all, it’s not just about sitting, it’s about feeling inspired while you (pretend to) work for hours. Our desks are made from engineered timber with those lovely white-on-wood finishes and calming tones. They’re practically calling out to help you create a serene workspace. And don’t stop there. If you’re wondering how to make your office desk look nice, consider pairing your desk with some handy shelving units, bookshelves, a nice-looking office chair, and lighting to complete that dream workspace you've always wished for. No matter if you're shopping for an office desk in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or hiding under a rock anywhere else in New Zealand, Urban Sales has got your back. We’ll deliver it right to your door. And if you stare at it and think, “nope, this isn’t my vibe”, you have seven days to return it (unopened and unassembled, of course). Just make sure it’s in resaleable condition, so it can find another home. Solidwood Norway Bookcase, 85x32CM, Oak Hjem Design August Shelving Unit, 94x27x114cm Linspire Haze Office Chair, Grey FAQs What is the difference between a sit-stand desk and a regular desk? Instead of being stuck at the same height like a regular desk that has a set height, a variable-height sit-stand desk gives you the option of shimmying up when you’d like to work while standing tall and moving on down when you’re in the mood to work sitting down. Wondering, “How high should an office desk be?” Well, that really depends on you. Are you Team Sit or Team Stand? If you’re like most of us, you probably juggle between the two. It’s the classic office tango. The beauty of adjustable desks is that you can customise the height to fit your body like a glove. It's like having a desk that says, ‘I get you!’ Just remember, either when sitting or standing, don’t forget about that posture. We want you looking sharp, not twisting yourself like a pretzel to ‘fit’ yourself to your desk So adjust away and find your perfect groove. Are these desks good for small spaces? Absolutely. We’re all about turning tiny corners into productivity powerhouses, and our desks are no exception. Just make sure to whip out that measuring tape before diving in, unless you enjoy playing a game of ‘Will it fit?’ Choose one of our compact desks for that perfect snug fit. Plus, some of our desks come with drawers, shelves, and sneaky storage options, so you can stash away your clutter and make the most of your little workspace. This just proves you can be small and mighty. Can I use one of these desks as a makeup table? Fantastic idea. You can turn one of our study or work desks into your very own glam station. It's the perfect backdrop for your morning beauty ritual. Just plop down a freestanding mirror (make sure the light hits your face just right), and stash your makeup, hairbrushes, and any other grooming must-haves in those handy storage drawers. And if you're really feeling the need for a dedicated makeup palace, also check out our dressing tables. They might just become your new best friend for getting ready. Do you offer NZ-wide shipping and returns? We’ll deliver the goodies right to your doorstep, no matter if you’re nestled in the heart of Auckland or chilling in the corners of the countryside. And if you decide the item isn’t the star of your show after all, no worries. Just send it back our way, unused, unassembled, and still in its original packaging, within 7 days of it crashing your party. No hard feelings, just a chance for a fresh start. Can I claim the desks for a home office set up during tax time? Who would have thought that tackling your to-do list could also line your pockets a bit? If your new desk is your income-generating sidekick, you might just be in luck when tax season rolls around. That trusty desk of yours can actually score you some sweet depreciation deductions. And let’s not forget about a new office chair. Maybe an upgrade is in order here as well. After all, a new chair could sway things your way come tax time, too.
Sofa Buying Guide: How to Choose the Right One for Your Space
A sofa is like a good friend. The one that always returns your calls. It’s a haven. A place to feel cosy, safe, and nurtured. A place to tell stories, deliver big news, unwind, reset, cuddle the ones you love, and a place to snooze on a Sunday afternoon. When it comes to how to pick the right sofa, it’s about really tuning in to how you want it to feel, how you’re going to use it and what’s going to suit your space. So, pull up a cushion and get comfy, our sofa buying guide will take you through the A’s to the Z’s of buying your ultimate sofa. How to Choose a Sofa That Fits Your Life? Know Your Non-Negotiables From cosy chats to cocktail-clinking dinner party banter and family movie nights, how to choose a sofa is about working out how you want to use it. In order to zero in on the best sofa for your lifestyle, you first need to decipher the way it fits into your space, your comfort preferences and functional needs. Here are some key questions to ask yourself: Who’s using it daily? Is it just you? Do you have flatmates? Furry friends? Kids? The answers to these will not only help you determine the size of sofa you need to buy, but will also help you decide on the best fabric types for your sofa and durability needs. How will you use it? Think about how you will use your sofa. Do you mostly lounge or watch TV? Do you nap on your sofa? Are there occasional house guests who need somewhere to snooze? Are you hosting? Or all of the above? The answers to these questions will help you decide on your size and configuration needs, and whether or not you need special features, such as reclining functionality or a sofa bed style. How is the space arranged? Consider the size of your space. Is the sofa meant for open-plan living or a closed-off lounge room? Larger spaces can handle big, sprawling sectional or modular set-ups with room to stretch out. Smaller spaces, on the other hand, tend to shine more with clever chaise styles or two-seaters with slim arms and raised legs. Best Sofas for Small Spaces & Apartments Not all of us live in a sprawling home with room for a sectional 12 seater and a grand piano. Some of us (hi!) are working with compact apartments where every centimetre is valuable real estate. In these spatially challenged homes, choosing the best sofa for small spaces can make all the difference. 2-seaters, Loveseats, and Chaise sofas 2-seaters, loveseats, and chaise sofas are ideal for tight spots. These small space superstars offer the ideal middle ground, big enough to stretch out and read a good book and small enough not to dominate the room. Chaise sofas are like a power move for the space-conscious lounger. They are particularly good at making good use of space, with their lovely L-shape, they can hug the wall while giving you the option to put your feet up. Space-saving design features Little tweaks in sofa design can make a big impact on the look and feel of a smaller room. Slim arms - Slimline arms not only look sleek and modern but can save valuable space in your living room, allowing room for bigger sitting space. Raised legs - A sofa that’s slightly raised off the floor keeps the room feeling airy and open. Sofa beds - Multifunctional design at its best, sofa beds provide dual-purpose magic. A good-looking sofa, and also a comfortable bed fit for your overnight guests. Placement Once you’ve selected the best sofa for small spaces, the right placement is key. If possible, float your sofa slightly off the wall to help the room breathe. Consider placing a lightweight coffee table or side table in front of your sofa to complete the space. If things are really tight, consider nested tables or stools that can double as extra seating. MODE Cielo 3.5-Seater Sofa with Chaise, Oatmeal MODE Cielo 4.5-Seater Sofa with Chaise, Blue Grey Modular, Recliner, or Sofa Bed? Find What’s Best for You When it comes to choosing the best sofa for your lifestyle, you can have the cosiness, the striking design and the stretch-out-and-snooze potential without overcrowding your living room. Think clever designs, flexible layouts and features that work hard while still looking good. Modular Sofas Modular sofas are your ticket to living room freedom, made to be pulled apart, flipped, shifted and reconfigured on a whim. Want a corner set up today and an open-ended chaise tomorrow? That’s the magic of modular. These sofas are ideal for small or large spaces because they allow you to work with your layout and change it up anytime to keep your space fresh. Recliner Sofas Perfect for movie marathons, power naps, or just kicking back after a long day, recliner sofas give you full-body bliss with the touch of a button. And for those of you thinking of recliners as giant overstuffed sofa-thrones taking over your floor plan, think again. Today’s recliner sofas are sleek, modern and wonderfully unassuming. Sofa Beds For apartment dwellers and spare-room-less hosts, a sofa bed is nothing short of a miracle. By day, it’s a chic little perch for coffee sipping and contemplating life, by night, a comfy bed for overnight guests. If you’re looking for the best sofa bed for NZ, here’s what to keep in mind: Go for one that’s easy to unfold and put away. Look for designs that blend with your style. Concealed storage is a bonus. Linspire Don 2-Seater Sofa Bed, Off White Hjem Design Maine Sofa Bed with Armrest Linspire Don 2-Seater Sofa Bed, Grey What’s the Best Fabric or Material for a Sofa? Choosing the best fabric for a sofa is all about your lifestyle, tastes and tolerance for cleaning. Take into account your usage habits. Do you have children or pets? Do you have the ability to handle spills without bursting into tears? (If so, we’re jealous.) Leather The ultimate in luxury, leather sofas are sleek, durable and excellent at handling the chaos of family life. You can wipe spills clean, and the best leather sofas tend to age beautifully. The downside? It can feel a bit cool in the winter months and isn’t quite as cosy as a fabric sofa can be for snuggling up on. Fabric Fabric sofas are typically warm, inviting and tactile and span a wide variety of finishes and blends. Fabric sofas can be more high-maintenance than leather, depending on the material, and some fabrics cling to pet hair. The best couch fabric for families or pets is tightly woven fabrics like performance blends or microfibres that are stain resistant, easy to clean and don’t give fur a lot to cling to. Avoid anything too textured, like chunky weaves or velvet finishes. Colours Lighter shades such as creams, greys and soft pastels can make your space feel more open and breezy and are great for smaller spaces, but they can be more high-maintenance unless you opt for a stain-resistant fabric. Darker colours like charcoal, navy and dark green can be moodier, cosier and a little more forgiving of spills. If you’re making a style statement, go for a bold hue like mustard or teal so your sofa can be the star of the room. MODE Marco 3-Seater Sofa Hjem Design Tampa 3-seater Sofa Solidwood Seattle 3-Seater Sofa,201x80CM, Beige/Oak Linspire Moss 3-Seater Sofa Sizing Guide: Will Your Sofa Fit Within Your Space? You’ve chosen your sofa, amazing! Our sofa size guide can help you confirm if your new sofa will work in your space. Measure everything Grab your tape measure and jot down the dimensions of the room, length, width and height. Don’t forget to measure doorways, stairwells, hallways, elevators and any area your sofa will need to pass through on its way to your living room. Visualise it Use masking tape or painters’ tape to outline the sofa’s dimensions on the floor; this helps you see exactly how much space it will use and how much you have left to play with. AR (Augmented Reality) tools can also help by letting you ‘drop’ an image of the sofa into your living room picture using your phone camera. Allow space Even the comfiest of sofas need room to shine. Allow enough room for walkways so people can move comfortably around the space without having to turn themselves sideways. Coffee tables should ideally sit about 45-50 cm from the front of the sofa, and ottomans need enough clearance so you can comfortably stretch your legs out. Build a Living Room You’ll Love Coming Home To Build the ultimate living room space by pairing your sofa with ottomans, bean bags and side tables, the secret sauce for both cosiness and practicality. Finish it off with textured throws, cushions, feature lamps and meaningful art to create a personalised and cohesive look. Add a rocking chair in the corner as a gorgeous reading nook finishing touch, and you’re happy to be home. Your Perfect Sofa Is Waiting: Let’s Help You Find It When you arrive home to your perfect sofa, the world can wait. You can unmask, unwind and exhale the day away. No matter if you’re after a reclining couch to kick back on, the best sofa bed for surprise guests or a cosy settee for Sunday naps and cuppas, Urban Sales has got the perfect setup to transform your living room. Let’s get comfortable.
Scandinavian Bedroom Design Ideas for a Balanced and Breezy Atmosphere
The bedroom is about more than simply a place to sleep—it’s a sanctuary where we can connect with our innermost selves, escaping the stresses and demands of life. Getting deep, restorative rest helps us present our best selves, for our own sake and the benefit of others (because there’s almost nothing worse than sleep-deprived gremlins). For those trying to create a peaceful, functional retreat without feeling overwhelmed by design choices, you’re not alone. Finding the right balance between style, serenity, and practicality can be tricky. So, let’s draw inspiration from the Scandinavians, who mastered the art of creating a cozy indoor haven despite their often dark, dreary weather. This bedroom style guide offers a simple, fun, step-by-step approach to transforming your space with Scandinavian bedroom ideas that promote restful moments while beautifully reflecting your personal taste. How Scandinavian Bedroom Design Can Work For You: Function Meets Tranquillity Embrace Simplicity with Purposeful Design Life is complex enough, so the fundamental principle of Scandinavian design focuses on simplicity, where each element serves a purpose. It’s all about steering away from visual clutter that can overload our minds. Start with a fresh, blank slate and adopt the mindset of choosing only practical elements that enhance both form and function—items that are visually serene while still offering practicality. This mood board showcases the types of pieces you might want to incorporate into your Scandinavian-style bedroom design, offering inspiration for creating a calm, functional space that works for you. Scandinavian-Inspired Bedroom Mood Board Soft Japandi Aesthetic for a Modern Bedroom Natural Materials for a Calming Atmosphere The Scandinavians have mastered the art of bringing warmth to their homes during their often-gloomy climate. Their secret? Natural materials like light wood, linen and cotton. These materials are staples in Scandinavian design for good reason. They promote a sense of tranquility and create a grounded, reassuring ambience that is especially well-suited to bedrooms. So, as you put together your own Scandinavian bedroom with new furniture, bedding and décor, be sure to also incorporate natural textures to create warmth and comfort so you can bring this peaceful vibe into your own space. SAVONA Nova Duvet Cover Set SAVONA Chantel Bedspread Lots of Light, Neutral Colours for a Serene Space To complement the natural materials in a Scandinavian-style bedroom, a neutral colour palette is essential. Think soft whites, warm greys, subtle beige and brown tones, and gentle pastel greens. These calming colours can be woven through accessories like cushions, wall art, and throw blankets. Even if your bedroom doesn’t get much natural light, these light, neutral shades will work their magic to create a sense of brightness, spaciousness and peace. By embracing the calming effects of nature and bringing those muted hues into your room, you’ll create an environment that’s conducive to rest and relaxation. Linspire Whisper Bedside Table Loft Ensio Chest of 6 Drawers Enhance Function with Thoughtful Furniture Choices While serene and beautiful, Scandinavian furniture is designed to be functional and space-efficient, with a particular emphasis on multi-purpose pieces that make the most out of your space. Think of a floating dressing table with drawers that provides ample storage and pivots out to double as a desk—or bedframes that come with storage headboards that help to keep your space clutter-free. Even mattresses inspired by Scandinavian design offer adjustable firmness to suit your preferences, ensuring your comfort is always a top priority. By investing in quality furniture, you’re bringing style and practicality to your bedroom, creating a versatile space that will keep you comfortable for many years to come. Linspire Aspire Small Queen Bed Frame with Storage Headboard Linspire Fresko Wardrobes with 2 Doors + 2 Drawers Bring Scandinavian Style to Life with These Bedroom Ideas 1. Small Bedroom Design Ideas to Keep Things Organised Scandinavian style is ideally suited to small bedrooms, allowing you to make the most of the limited space you have. The furniture pieces mentioned earlier help keep visual clutter to a minimum with smart storage solutions. Their multi-purpose design gives you more versatility using fewer furniture pieces, and the light colour palette naturally creates a roomier feel in your bedroom. This is also the case for other areas in your home, including small space living rooms. Linspire Juniper Extendable Dressing Table with Cabinet Linspire Juniper Small Double Bed Frame with Shelving Unit 2. Large Bedroom with Space to Play With If you’re lucky enough to have a larger-sized bedroom, don’t feel like you have to hold back on the furniture. Leaving too much space can actually make a room feel a bit too empty. Instead, use your extra space to create additional zones where you can relax and enjoy your bedroom retreat. Depending on your room, choose furniture and décor that are proportional to your space and cohesive with the rest of the design. A great way to do this is to carve out a chill-out zone with comfy armchairs, side tables and footrests; perfect for winding down with a good book or enjoying a warm cup of chamomile tea or cocoa before bed. You can differentiate the sleeping (bed) zone from the relaxation (armchair) zone by using two separate floor rugs beneath each one. This not only defines the spaces, but adds an extra layer of warmth and texture to your Scandinavian bedroom. 3. Layering Textures for a Cosy Scandi Bedroom Take a leaf out of professional interior designers’ bag of tricks to create a luscious, super-cosy space by layering textures. By incorporating subtle contrasts in textures (such as smooth versus rustic, soft versus hard, and pattern versus plain) and colours (lighter versus darker), you create a calming, inviting atmosphere. This includes using soft rugs that are lovely to walk on barefoot when you get out of bed (even if your bedroom is already carpeted). Natural, breathable linen bed covers in soft pastel colours are as beautiful to look at as they are lovely to the touch and will contribute to your peaceful night’s sleep. Knitted throws will add yet more warmth, comfort and visual appeal to top off your welcoming, Scandinavian-inspired bedroom. DreamWeaver Oasis Machine Washable Rug, Arches Cream, 160x230cm DreamWeaver Essence Machine Washable Rug, Beige, 150x220cm Styling is Key to Bringing Your Scandinavian Bedroom Together Now for the fun finishing touches! Focus on Simple, Yet Personal Décor While Scandinavian design embraces simplicity, it also promotes personal touches in your space. So go ahead and include family photos, favourite artworks and décor items that are meaningful to you. But as with anything, moderation is key, so incorporate items that bring you joy without overcrowding your space. If there are simply too many cherished items to choose from (we get it), you could store some of them in a storage cupboard and rotate the items displayed on a monthly—or seasonal—basis. This is an excellent way to keep your space feeling fresh, too! Try Not to Undermine How Lighting Can Make a Room Feel When it comes to creating a dreamy, relaxing ambience in your bedroom, gentle lighting is a must. Use soft ambient lighting as a lead-in to your nighttime routine, signalling to your busy mind that it’s time to slow down and relax. Create a warm, inviting bedroom atmosphere with Scandinavian-style lamps and pendant lights. As the evening wears on, gradually switch the lamps off one by one so it’s increasingly darker. It’s a great way to create a prelude to a deep, relaxing night’s sleep. Add Plants to Connect with Nature The finishing touch for creating a stunning, Scandinavian-style, nature-inspired bedroom is to bring real nature indoors. Incorporating plants into your bedroom enriches its serene, natural atmosphere. And as a bonus, plants also improve the quality of the air you breathe throughout the night!

How to Set Up the Perfect Home Office, Consider Your Productivity: Inspired!
Let’s get real: home is now the setting for most offices. We all know working from home means juggling Zoom calls while trying to look somewhat presentable and hoping your colleagues don’t realise you’re wearing pyjama bottoms. But no matter if you're hunkered down in a spare bedroom, nestled in a hallway nook, crammed in a closet or elbow-to-elbow with your significant other in the living room, your workspace should still feel like a million dollars. At Urban Sales, we’re not just about redesigning workspaces; we’re veritable magicians at helping you turn your space into an oasis of productivity. So, grab your organic latte (or matcha) and dive into our home office furniture guide. We're about to transform your makeshift home office setup into a place that boosts your productivity and gives off some seriously feel-good vibes. Your Workspace Design Can Enhance Productivity It’s not just your genius qualities that make you good at what you do. Your physical environment affects your mental clarity and work quality. But when you’re trying to get things done among piles of laundry while your neighbours decide to jackhammer their driveway and your cute new puppy decides to do zoomies among your tangle of power cords, the calmness of home life doesn’t sound so great. We can’t help you with the jackhammering or puppy crazies, nor get your laundry done for you, but we can share tips to set up a serenity zone where you have a fighting chance to regain your calm and get on top of things. Planning Your Office Setup: Think Space, Light, Layout and Of Course, Design Before diving headfirst into your home office design, let’s chat about location. Where’s the best, quietest spot for your command centre? The living room? A corner of the bedroom? Or maybe even that unused stairway nook? Whatever you choose, don’t let your cat take it over. When you’re mapping out your setup, pick a spot that basks in natural light. Positioning your desk with your back to a window isn’t ideal. You don’t need your screen glaring back into your eyes, amplifying the sun's rays behind you. And if you find yourself in lots of video calls, try to make your background less of a reality show and more like a magazine spread. Your coworkers don’t need to see your pile of laundry or your unmade bed peeking out in the background. Let's keep it, you know, professional. Compact Yet Functional or Statement Pieces? You can level up your home office setup by selecting well-made pieces that are also functional. That way, you don’t have to hunt down your ruler in a cluttered mess. It's all about snagging those chic yet functional pieces that can also do double duty. Think of your workspace as a puzzle: everything should fit together snugly. When it comes to home office desks, think compact, L-shaped, or height-adjustable, making your workspace as flexible as your schedule. For home office chairs, go for ergonomic designs that won’t leave you feeling stiff as a board at the end of the day. You can remain friends with both comfort and style, choosing flexible, ergonomic designs that also dazzle as centrepieces in your home. Loft Ensio Desk, 1.4m, White Linspire Noble Desk with Shelves Linspire Slate Dual Study Desk, Grey & White & Yellow Linspire Perch Office Chair Linspire Lumina Ergonomic Office Chair Linspire Haze Office Chair, Grey Storage Can Be for Office Supplies & Décor When you're setting up your office space, think of it as your professional style statement, mixing office supplies with a touch of flair. You can look up and see beauty even if you’re drowning in an ocean of spreadsheets. Grab some bookshelves or floating shelves to keep your stuff off the floor and away from your desk. These are great for books, papers and supplies, but even better if you leave some room for décor. That’s because incorporating those personalised items (like family photos, little plants or flowers) will bring joy and colour to those otherwise underwhelming report-writing-filled days. While you’re at it, don’t forget the filing cabinets, desks with drawers, and desk organisers to keep that clutter at bay and give everything its own ordered space, so you’re not having to fumble around. Solidwood Pittsburgh Corner Bookcase, 40x40x180cm, Oak Loft Kiri Bookcase with 8 Doors, 1.2m, White Linspire Ventus Bookcase with Glass Door, Large Linspire Lumen Desk Riser Stand Loft Kiri Drawer Unit on Castors Increase Work From Home Privilege and Comfort with Ergonomic Chairs & Desks Before you dive headfirst into that mountain of work, let’s ensure your home office setup is as comfy and inviting as your favourite armchair. First, let’s get that desk and chair height sorted. Adjustable height desks and chairs are great at giving you extra height if needed, or lowering down to prevent your legs from dangling like a pair of long earrings. But if you’re on the shorter side, don’t worry if you love a chair that’s too high for you; footrests are here to save the day. Since you’ll be spending a chunk of your life in this workspace, make some adjustments for the sake of your back. Investing in ergonomic chairs and desks is definitely worthwhile. Feel free to tinker with everything until it’s just right. Your future self (the one with the happy posture) will appreciate you taking the time. Linspire Ascend Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk 1.2m, White Linspire Lumen Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Riser Stand, 1.4m Linspire Ascend Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk 1.4m, Natural Just Because You Work in Corporate Doesn’t Mean You Don’t Have Style. Your Home Office, Your Vibes When you design your home your way, you’re not just throwing some bits of furniture together. It’s your chance to flex your creative muscles and make the place feel like you. So let’s not forget to extend this sentiment to your home office design, because why on earth would you mimic your corporate cubicle’s vibe? That place is about as inspiring as an old-school fluorescent light. You need a workspace that makes you want to go above and beyond, something that fuels your motivation rather than sucking the life out of you. If you’re channelling Scandi serenity, bold modern vibes, minimalist magic, or a maximalist wonderland, make it personal to you. Let your personality shine far brighter than your computer screen. Solidwood Bailey Desk, Two Drawers, 120x53CM, Walnut Linspire Amie Desk Linspire Edmond Solid Wood Desk, 120cm Solidwood Bailey Desk with 2 Drawers, Natural Fit Out Your Home Office with Urban Sales At Urban Sales, we're all about curated inspiration and believe you don’t have to go broke to have a home office that could. It's not just doable, it's enthralling to put together a workspace that makes you feel like a boss (even if you’re not the boss). It’s so worth it, you’ll thank yourself later. You may even want to share the results on social media. So, get in and shop around like the design aficionado you truly are.
