Home Work
Who said it couldn’t be comfortable?

ith more and more companies and businesses moving to an off-site, work-from-home paradigm for at least some of the time, it has been paramount that today’s home office requires more than the dining room table as a workplace. The modern home office needs to be a highly functional, well organized, and a comfortable environment that is both practical and efficient while also being attractive. Fortunately, options for the home office have evolved with entirely new and innovative designs that integrate technology, storage, ergonomics, and attractive design that will actually fit into a look great as part of our home’s décor. Things like cable management, storage for printers and keyboards, along with storage for rechargeable electronics have been designed into these new systems. And there are a wide range of configurations as well as finishes including woods, leathers, and more when you are designing your new home office space. Seating is available that is both ergonomic and good looking. You can even select recliner seating (for those meditative problem-solving moments) that has been specifically designed as an office desk chair with the features of a recliner. Norwegian made Stressless recliners are a leader here. Today’s home office can be beautifully designed space that is a comfortable, inviting environment that inspires creativity and productivity. —RB Several options for home office design are available at Michael Kate contemporary furniture, 132 Santa Barbara St., Santa Barbara. 805-963-1411. www.michaelkate.com
