Chairs
When choosing a desk chair, the first thing you should ask yourself is how much time you will be spending sitting in that chair. If you plan to be using this chair often for work, it’s best to select a dedicated office chair that provides proper back and neck support. You will want to choose a chair that’s ergonomically correct, preferably one with adjustable seating options! If this chair will only be used for work occasionally, it might be more practical to choose a chair that can serve another purpose, such as selecting an additional dining chair or occasional chair.

Guest Room
Multipurpose furniture can be a great asset for those with compact spaces. If you don’t have the luxury of having a separate office space in your home, using a guest bedroom is a common alternative. Investing in a good sleeper sofa or wall bed is well worth the while if you want to keep the guest bedroom hospitable, but also usable as a home office.
