Home Office Furniture: Types, Styles, and Considerations

As remote work becomes increasingly common, more people are creating home offices that are comfortable, functional and express their personal style. Arguably the most important component of a home office is the furniture. Choosing the right furniture can transform a space and make a big difference in how productive and inspired you feel while working from home.

Types of Home Office Furniture

There are several types of furniture that are essential for a home office:

Desks: Desks come in many shapes, sizes and materials. Explore our wide array of desk styles from mid-century modern to farmhouse and choose one that fits your space and work style. Standing desks and adjustable-height desks are becoming increasingly popular options for a health-conscious workday routine.
Chairs: A comfortable, supportive chair is essential for anyone who spends long hours at a desk. Look for chairs with ergonomic designs, adjustable armrests and lumbar support. World Market is a destination for desk chairs with cushy upholstery and luxe fabrics like velvet, linen and leather. Wheels and a swiveling seat are an added bonus for moving about your workstation with ease.
Bookshelves: Open and closed shelving options help keep your workspace organized and make it easy to find the materials you need. Sprinkle in treasured home decor, framed pictures and lush houseplants for a personalized look.
Storage Cabinets: Filing cabinets, storage cabinets and multi-drawer cabinets are great for storing paperwork, reference material, office supplies and other items. Keeping clutter at bay creates a calming environment for even the busiest of workdays. In small spaces, opt for wall storage and shelving to maximize floorspace.
Lighting: Proper lighting is important for reducing eye strain and staying focused. Shop for desk lamps, floor lamps, and overhead lighting to best suit your space. From swiveling task lamps to modern ceramic table lamps, lighting is both a decor accent and an ambient light source.

Styles of Home Office Furniture

Whether you match your office to the rest of your home or give it a whole new theme, there are several styles of home office decor and furniture to choose from:

Traditional: Wooden furniture with classic designs, such as roll-top desks and leather chairs. Designs inspired British campaign furniture, classic medallion rugs and pharmacy lamps create a sophisticated setting for working from home.
Contemporary: Simple and sleek designs, often featuring metal and glass materials. Metallic, black or white furniture finishes and geometric or abstract motifs effortlessly enhance a cool, contemporary theme.
Rustic: Furnishings with a natural and warm aesthetic, featuring reclaimed wood, artful distressing and earthy tones. Explore our farmhouse-style desks, handwoven baskets and landscape wall art to finish off your rustic retreat.
Industrial: Furniture with an unfinished and raw look, often featuring metal and exposed hardware. Add in iron bookshelves and a rustic wall clock to make sure you're always on time for your nine to five.
Minimalist: Pieces with a simple and clean design, often featuring white or neutral colors and clean lines. We imagine a streamlined space layered with Scandinavian-inspired designs and a desk or lamp with silver metal or glass accents.
