Working from home isn’t just a trend—it’s become part of everyday life for many Australians. But let’s face it: not all home setups are built for productivity. That’s where functional furniture comes in. The good news? You can create a comfortable, inspiring workspace without compromising on style.
Here’s how to make your home office more productive, practical, and beautiful—featuring pieces that look as good as they work.
1. Supportive Office Chairs: Your Back Will Thank You
Let’s start with the basics: your chair. Hours of sitting require more than just a dining chair borrowed from the kitchen.
Look for:
-
Ergonomic support
-
Adjustable height and tilt functions
-
Stylish design that blends into your space
Styling tip: If you’re working in an open-plan area, opt for a neutral-toned office chair that complements your home aesthetic. Add a lumbar cushion for extra comfort and a pop of personality.
2. Multifunctional Desks: Work Smarter, Not Harder
A smart desk setup can make all the difference in how you feel about work. Whether you need a compact desk for a small corner or a larger station for dual screens, a well-designed desk is a must-have.
Try this:
-
Look for built-in storage or minimalist drawers to keep your space tidy
-
Opt for tables with built-in sockets and hidden cable systems—perfect for keeping your wires out of sight while staying fully charged through the day.
-
Position your desk near natural light, and complement with an ambient lamp
Design tip: Our multifunctional desks are perfect for zoning out a mini office nook in your bedroom or living room. Just add a statement lamp and a faux plant to bring life to the space.

3. Task Lighting That Actually Works
Proper lighting isn’t just for mood—it's a productivity booster. Desk lamps or wall-mounted lights give your space that focused energy you need for back-to-back meetings or late-night emails.
Look for:
-
Warm-toned LED bulbs
-
Sculptural or minimalist bases to double as décor
Bonus: Use ambient lighting in other parts of your home to gently separate work hours from downtime. A soft glow makes a world of difference when you’re signing off for the day.
4. Armchairs for Creative Corners and Coffee Breaks
Work breaks are important—and your furniture should invite them. An armchair in a quiet corner becomes the perfect reset zone, reading nook, or even a spot for brainstorming big ideas.
Layer it up with:
-
A textured throw
-
Comfy cushions
-
A small side table and your favourite book or candle
Tip: Choose an armchair that complements the rest of your furniture. Ours come in neutral tones and rich textures to suit any space, and can even be styled into your lounge once your office hours are done.
5. Cushions That Work Overtime
Yes, even cushions can be functional! Use them for extra support, back comfort, or a soft surface to prop up your laptop on the couch.
Use in:
-
Armchairs and reading nooks
-
Office chairs needing lumbar support
-
As a decorative way to introduce texture or colour
Design idea: Refresh your WFH setup seasonally with new cushion covers. Think warm earthy tones in winter and soft pastels in spring.
