Consider form and function when choosing the centerpiece of your home office.

Consider form and function when choosing this centerpiece furniture piece in your home office.

The big advantage of working from home? No commute. The big disadvantage? Impractical and uncomfortable work areas with no escape at the end of the workday. With more freelance workers and remote roles, along with the reality of a worldwide pandemic, the number of us working from our homes is on the rise. Choosing a desk that’s conducive to accomplishing your work tasks each day is important, as is the ability to walk away from it at the end of the day.

If you have enough room, you can double up on your desk so you can work at the same station with your child or spouse.
