Are you thinking of setting up a home office but don’t know where to start? We’ve got some great products for you whatever your home office size and style.
Muji desk system
The desk is the central part of any home office. It’s the one place that you’ll want to be comfortable when you sit down and set about doing some work – even if it’s just answering emails and doing some research.
We love this Muji desk system because you can get it in two different sizes and colours (ash and melamine), and you can add partitions to it to make it even more functional.
The back partition shown in the image, for example, just attaches to the bottom of the desk. It also has a magnetic self, which can be attached to the back partition of the desk either as a shelf or as a bookend to help files etc stand up, or in any way that makes your desk space perfect for your home office needs.
If lack of space means that you can’t designate a room or a permanent place for your home office, then Muji’s foldable table and chair is just the thing. And it’s great for those of us who can’t switch off from work mode, because once you’ve packed away after a day’s work, there’s no going back so you can focus on other things without the temptation to ‘just check an email’ etc.

Binatone Lifestyle 1910 twin phone
Communication is key to any home business, and sometimes just emailing won’t do – you have to use the traditional telephone! You’ll also want one with a built-in answer machine so you don’t miss out on important calls. The Binatone Lifestyle 1910 twin phone set has got everything covered in that respect, and it is has a speakerphone and caller ID.

Lexmark Interact three-in-one printer
Be it printing out invoices, reports, presentations or any other important document; or scanning documents, you’ll want something that’s reliable, efficient and cost- effective.
The Lexmark Interact 605 is all of those things. Like many of the latest printers, you save money on ink by replacing the colour you need, instead of buying the whole set.
We love this printer because it is Wifi ready – this basically means that if you have broadband at home, you don’t have to worry about fitting cables to your PC or laptop to print. Just plug in the printer and you’re good to go.
The Interact is also great for those of us who are using our smartphones to full effect – you can actually print straight from your smartphone! Yes – technology today really does mean you can work from your smartphone!
If you’re going green, then you’ll also love the fact that it prints on both sides, too.

Lakeland One-cup Tea and Coffee Maker
When you work from home, it’s all too easy not to take breaks. Not that we condone that – you can at least take a screen break while making a cup of tea or coffee right at your desk.
This portable tea and coffee maker can fit onto even the smallest of desks. When you fancy a quick brew, just put your favourite ground coffee or tea bag into the removable filter and press the start button and watch it fill your cup. It will also take most brands of coffee pods, so if you have something bigger in the kitchen, you don’t have to run in between the kitchen and your home office.
