If you roll out of bed, start checking your emails in pajamas and take your first meeting as you remember you’re not wearing pants, then yup, you’re still working from home.
Got that work from home schedule all worked out? Is your home office a place you enjoy sitting from 9 to 5, and then again from 9 to 10 pm? (not a joke)
You’re probably still learning how to set up a home office, or at least, a peaceful and inspiring place in your home where you can work.

Whether you have a new remote job, a job that ‘went remote’ or are looking for a remote job, you’re at the right place!
Your home office should be more than a spot on the couch where your WiFi is strong. Maybe you’re going to try to emulate coworking space vibes or simply try to forget you’re working in your studio apartment with your plants, or with your significant other.
A home office should be conducive to getting work done and should be a place where you feel inspired, focused and motivated.

This is much easier said than done, as you may have never in a thousand years pictured that you may need to set up a desk in your living room, or carve out a corner of your bedroom to be a workspace, in order to work from home productively.
What you need and what you want is also changing all the time as well, which is why adapting is such a great skill. During your continued transition of making your home office better and better, you can avoid one of the most common mistakes when starting to work from home by choosing to actively set up your home office space.
I worked from coworking spaces around the world, and got my first taste of learning that you need a conducive working environment the first time I took a company meeting from the bedroom of an Airbnb in Porto, Portugal only to find out that the WiFi didn’t completely reach my location.
How To Set Up A Home Office In A Small Apartment
These days, I have ditched my former 4 pm spot on the couch (I call it my ‘weekend office’), and I work from a designated desk in our apartment that I’ve given proper
I make sure to follow all the rules of sharing an office space with my partner, Dan, when we’re working from home at the same time.
If you reside in one bedroom of a four-bedroom Manhattan or San Francisco apartment and live with a revolving door of roommates, the answer might be: “a dab more challenging.”
How To Add Color To A Room Without Painting: 9 Tips For Renters
If you think you can sit down at your dining room table with your laptop and charger and you’ll be ready to go, you could be doing yourself a favor by working remotely from home in a much more comfortable way.
As a home office should be a place where you feel both focused and motivated, consider that a few more handy items make the journey much more comfortable.
More recently, we’ve added dedicated laptop stands for both of our desks. I have the Curve by Twelve South and Dan uses this stand from Rain Design.
Steelseries Rival 600 Gaming Mouse Review
Because we do a lot of travel, we like the adjustable and portable Roost Laptop Stand as our work-from-home favorite. It’s fully collapsible, has a universal fit for all MacBook and PC models and finally, can give you a ‘lift’ between 6 and 12 inches.
For times when we want to work remotely while traveling, we fold up our laptop stands and put them right into our luggage.
A less expensive alternative to the Roost Laptop Stand is the Nexstand. I’ve used this one as well, and it’s definitely lightweight and affordable for a laptop stand. The downside is that it’s less sturdy than the Roost.

This laptop stand is great for people who don’t want to crane their neck too far down or up, depending on the height of the surface at which you’re set up. We think it’s a great choice for working remotely from home.
I traveled for four months with Remote Year, and during this time of moving from city to city as a digital nomad remote worker, a travel-size wireless mouse was part of my remote work tool kit, so to speak.
This one’s not as travel-sized as my small palm-sized Logitech mouse, but it’s good to have at home where you don’t have to move around constantly like during travel.

If you want to use the MX Master with two computers, use a USB Unifying Receiver with a USB hub. The mouse will work with both computers with no Bluetooth required. Dan uses this method to use the same mouse with both of his laptops.
The Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse has a comfortable contoured shape for your hand so that you don’t get cramps and avoid carpal tunnel syndrome. (*We are not doctors, and this is our consumer hunch only!)
It also has a speed-adaptive scroll wheel and a unique thumb wheel in its build. Lastly, you can use it for cross-computer control, navigating on up to three monitors.

It’s great for us when we travel and it’s convenient for our home office. We can easily stash it away when we’re not using it. It’s a Bluetooth rechargeable keyboard and it lets you type quietly. It’s a lot like a laptop keyboard in that it takes up hardly any space.
Dan alternates between the one above and the Anne Pro 2 keyboard, which has up to four weeks of wireless usage and has ‘tall keys, ’ which is good for you if that’s your preference.
He usually leaves it plugged in, though. The Anne Pro 2 is great because it’s highly customizable. It’s perfect for storing away when you’re not using it, or bringing it back and forth to an office.
First Apartment? 5 Tips To Make It Instagram Worthy
We mentioned in our article about how to start working from home that your designated office room or area will determine how big of a desk you can get.
If you’re not happy with your kitchen counter or dining room table as your home office desk (and you most certainly should not be!), check out a writing table like this minimalist white work desk.
We got a similar one recently. Right now, I’m using a cute desk like this white and wood minimalist laptop desk. It was important to me, when choosing a desk for my home office, to have a desk with drawers. This sleek home office desk is also a great choice if you’d like something trendy and attractive for your bedroom, living room, den or dedicated office space at home.
Can The Interior Design Of An Urban Chic Loft Apartment Be Child Friendly?
If you’re sold on working from bed, at least do yourself a favor and invest in a laptop table for working from bed!
The amount of space you have, and the desk or table you’re using, will determine what kind of chair you can get.
For a chair with wheels, we like something like this ergonomic desk chair and if you’re feeling more wild and want to lose the wheels, we considered getting this patterned chair for home office use.

If you have the budget and are looking to make an investment, consider a Herman Miller. It’s one of the best chairs that you can buy, but it’s very expensive.
One interesting quirk with our apartment is that we have uneven floors. Luckily, we figured out a way to stop our chair from rolling on the uneven floors!
Dan uses his Sony Bluetooth wireless noise-canceling headphones to take meetings while working at home, in order to keep distractions for me to a minimum. So thoughtful! He loves these headphones to get into a deep work focus.

When we’re on the road, those headphones are one of his favorite travel things to pack because they drown out noise when we’re on a plane, train or bus. Crucial.
When we’re working from home as a couple, Dan will use his noise-canceling headphones to block out my voice, if I’m the one on a phone call. Headphones will also help to minimize echoes in your home office.
Dan found a way to start using an iPad as a second monitor so that he can work from home with a two-monitor set-up.
Make Your Digital Art More Precise With This Cool Controller
Having two monitors may be something you’re used to at work. It may be a set-up that you need to recreate at home in order to feel efficient.
If you use an iPad as a second monitor, guess what: you can use it as an iPad later, or within the same day! After Dan’s work is done, we “watch TV” on the iPad (but really, we’re watching YouTube cooking shows).
Looking for a whole guide about ways to prop up an iPad while using it as a second monitor? We wrote a whole guide about that, here.

Our pick is the JBL FLIP Portable Bluetooth Speaker and we like it because it charges quickly and it’s small enough to sit on a table, ottoman or counter-top. We found that it has some of the best audio quality and deep bass from other speakers that we’ve tried in the past.
It has sound that fills our apartment, so when we’re working from home (or entertaining friends), we
