Suitable office furniture can change the look of your office. Comfortable seating chair with desk that can keep things organized and tidy and the adequate lighting change the mundane working hours into something to look forward to each day.

Whether you are buying office furniture for your home office or are a corporate buyer, just refurbishing an existing work space or setting up a new one, making the right furniture choice can be easy if you keep certain things in mind.

1. Start by selecting the desk. It should be wide enough to provide plenty of space for your files and paperwork. You can either choose a simple desk with one or two drawers (more suitable for corporate buyers) or you can consider having a work station with space for your computer and shelves for storage. The desk should be easily movable from one place to the other. This comes in use when moving homes or even in office settings when you may have to shift one seating arrangement from one place to another. There are many options available in the market – you can choose simple desks to elaborate and stylish desks fit for CEOs!! You can choose rectangular, oval, circular table, tables are even available in some fancy shapes. Go for them if they suit your temperament.

2. The chair is the most important component of any office furniture. Go for the ones with armrest, adjustable height and swivel ones. These can be easily modified to suit any person. Comfort is the overriding factor when you choose a suitable chair. Styles can be as per your choosing.

3. Next is the storage. There are multiple options in the market. From wall shelves to filing drawers to storage cabinets, and big compactors to store your archives, the best choice depends on your storage requirements and the space have to place your storage cabinet or drawer. Most of these solutions can be customized as per your requirements.

4. Lest we forget, buy a waste paper basket or a dustbin too to toss
those unwanted papers that make your desk seem messy.

5. Another important constituent of functional office furniture is paper or file organizer. Invest in some good quality file organizers which will not only keep your work files or papers sorted but will also keep your desk organized. Letter trays are another good option.

6. Other office accessories include notice boards and white boards to display the important meeting notification or for jotting down points in a brain storming session. With increasing electronic devices, cable management trays are a good value for your money. They can keep the chargers, power cables, data cables and all organized and easy to access. All your wires can be hidden under the desk or in the wall panels.

7. A good lighting arrangement cannot be over emphasized. Buy a desk lamp if you are working in your home office. For bigger office settings, ceiling mounted LED light panels are a trendy and useful option. CFL bulbs or tube lights are another good option. LED are energy efficient and you can be sure of comfortable lighting without increasing your energy bills.

Working will be comfortable if you have proper office furniture. A comfy chair, adequate work space with optimal storage solutions and good lighting can improve productivity and make the work seem a little more like-able.
