Need some inspiration for your home office? We’ve put together three different WFH set-ups, whether you’re after something basic or need a little bit more.
A Basic Setup – For a minimalist approach
Keep things simple with the basics – perfect for those just starting or transitioning into a work from home role.
Monitor
Prevent headaches and eyestrain that result from smaller screens with a monitor, plus have more space for your endless excel sheets and multiple windows. We’d recommend a hi-res ultrawide monitor like the Acer 34” WHD UltraWide Monitor for ultimate productivity. The 3440×1440 alleviates stress on your eyes, while the ergo stand lets you easily adjust the monitor as needed.
Keyboard & Mouse
Prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and work in complete comfort with a good keyboard and mouse combination. We’d recommend considering the below features:
- Typing preference: this varies for everyone – some people like a padded keyboard, others a silent – we have a great range of silent, mechanical and padded keyboards for you to try.
- Ergonomics: opt for an ergonomic keyboard like the Logitech K860 Split Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard or mouse for added comfort and support – keyboards with built-in wrist rests take the pressure off your wrists. When choosing a mouse, you want an option that fits the contour of your palm, like the Logitech MX Vertical Advanced Ergonomic Mouse.
- Bluetooth: if your device is light on connections, a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse is the solution to keep your USB ports free for other uses with a wireless keyboard and mouse.
- Multi-Device: have more than one work device? A multi-device keyboard or mouse provides a seamless experience with just the press of a button – some mice options even let you copy and paste from one device to another.
A Step Up – For those wanting something more
Got the basics sorted but need a little more? Round out your wfh office with a webcam, laptop stand, riser and headset with mic.
Webcams
A must if your day revolves around video meetings! Options like the Logitech C922 Pro Stream Webcam can film in up to 1080p quality and will put your built-in webcam to shame.
Laptop Stand
Want to utilise your laptop as an additional screen? A laptop stand lets you raise or angle your work laptop to the best position for an effortless experience.
Headset with mic
If your home office has a few distractions – flatmates, kids, someone mowing the lawn – a headset will help you stay focused and present in meetings, as well as prevent anyone around the home from listening in on meetings or presentations.
Riser
Simple but effective, a riser raises your monitor and can help you improve posture and alleviate strain on your neck. Pout has a great range of risers that also double as wireless chargers and docks/hubs.
The Complete Set-Up – For everything
Want it all? Complete your office with a standing desk, mic, dual arm monitor, twin docking station and ring light.
Microphone
Blue has a range of affordable and high-quality USB mics, like the Snowball Ice or Yeti, that are easy to use and deliver crisp, clear audio.
Stand-Up Desk
Spending eight hours sitting at your desk can take its toll on the body. Break up long periods of sitting with a stand-up desk and easily adjust the height of your desk to stay productive while either sitting or standing.
Twin Docking Stations
An easy connection for your dual monitors, a twin docking station provides extra ports for your device and makes dual screens a breeze.
Ring Light
Get perfect lighting every time with a desktop ring light. Pair it with a blue mic and webcam to have the best audio and picture combo on the conference call.
