With the new at-home rhythms, we’re getting creative about making our spaces more functional for working from home, rediscovered our love for board games and baking everything we can think of. It doesn’t matter if you’re answering emails from your kitchen table or homeschooling your children from your couch, the concept of working-life balance has taken on a whole new meaning these days. But what’s the good news? No matter what your current home office arrangement looks like, adding a few pretty and practical problem-solvers can help you feel more motivated, positive, and prepared to tackle your to-do list with a smile. Read on for 10 simple ideas to try.
Organize your desk with a portable organizer
Organize your desk with a versatile organizer that you can move around according to your needs, featuring compartments for notebooks, sticky notes, and pens.
Weekly planner that can be torn off
Organize your week with the help of a cheerful tear-off planner and never lose track of the days again.
This corkboard is both eye-catching and functional
Transform your to-do list into a motivating mood board by posting helpful reminders alongside cherished family photos.
Paperweight made from vintage materials
It’s easy to lose important notes written down on loose paper – and nothing evokes simpler times like a vintage find, which roots you back to simpler times. Enjoy the sweet retro vibes by picking an uplifting design that speaks to you – from psychedelic swirls to beautiful floating florals.
Desk lamp that saves space
We recommend an adjustable lamp that is slender enough to fit on your makeshift desk if you need a little extra illumination.
An all-purpose dock for phones
Adding a touch of structured serenity to hands-free multitasking can help you balance an excessive amount of screen time. We are partial to designs that double as planters or vases.
Stand-up desk that can be collapsed
Try a standing desk that will flat-pack away at the end of the day when you’re tired of sitting (on the couch, on the bed, on the couch again…).
An attractive water pitcher
You can keep yourself hydrated without having to go to the kitchen with a water pitcher that you can keep at hand. Bonus: the pitcher will look lovely in the background of your video calls.
The pair of bookends is attractive and well-crafted
An orderly row of even the heaviest tomes can’t be thwarted by a stylish pair of bookends.
Additionally, homeschool helpers are a huge hit with shoppers
One grateful parent stated that sometimes the right organizational aid makes all the difference when moms and dads are doing double duty as teachers’ assistants.
