Your Home Office Isn’t Complete Without These Products
Once upon a time, I would hit the snooze button one too many times, throw on some makeup, and survive an inevitably delayed subway commute. Everyday. Now that I’m working from home and reaping the benefits of a short walk (aka, from my bedroom to the living room) to my desk, I’ve also realized that pretty things leave me inspired. Specifically, a home office set-up that looks good and has everything I need to be productive…and set up a couple of Instagrammable flat-lays along the way.
The line between fashion and function is very thin when it comes to desk accessories. Lean too far into fashion and you’re mostly left with clutter. Go H.A.M. on the function part and you’ll feel easily overwhelmed. As someone who has spent literally months test-driving what does and doesn’t work, I’d say these items are key to checking things off your to-do list before this new year really begins. From candles to noise-canceling headphones to desktop bookshelves, here are some of the best home office products for a work station you’ll want to show off.
