If you are reading this and your home currently doesn’t have a dedicated family game room, take it from me; it’s not a fully functioning home.

Online gaming continues to grow in popularity with no signs of slowing down. We work hard and have learned how to play hard since childhood. Many of us began with consoles given to us as one of the best birthday or most memorable Christmas presents of our youth. Just thinking about it brings about a ton of nostalgic feelings for myself. It’s a great feeling to look back with wonder on those bygone days. Childhood introduced us to the strange new worlds of gaming. We grew up with side scrolling plumbers, speedy hedgehogs, knights, soldiers, ninjas, racecars, and the biggest sports stars of the day. We rescued princess, saved the world, and won the big game all fro (Read More)

Today I get to share some information that is near and dear to my heart. We are going to talk about gaming office furniture. More specifically, we are going to talk gaming desks, and gaming chairs. This is an emerging market that is growing by huge numbers every year. The reason being is that gaming has finally grown up! When we were children, we gathered around televisions with our favorite consoles and played games with our friends for hours. Now, we can do the same thing, just our friends don’t have to be in the room with us, they can be any where in the world as long as there is an internet connection. It’s a strange new world where some of your best fr (Read More)

As a gamer, I often get caught looking at the gaming side of our office furniture. I’ll get distracted from my task anytime a gaming desk or chair comes across my feed. For years my gaming set up was a retail store desk that was cheap in price and just as cheap in quality. Honestly, it needed replacing after six months but with some redneck engineering and a whole lot of duct tape, I made it last for years. Not that I was proud of it or anything. In fact, my gaming set up was somewhat of an embarrassment anytime someone came over. You see, we grew up with gaming but many of us didn’t allow gaming grow up with us. We still cling to subpar gaming setups fil (Read More)

Working from home… Sounds like a dream, right? I never really considered it an option because I spent twenty years in construction management which meant being on the jobsite every day. Fifty, sixty, and even seventy hour work weeks in places all over the south. Large cities like Birmingham, and Atlanta or vacation destinations like Pensacola, Florida. All the way to places you don’t hear about until they spring up on you like Newnan, Georgia or Pascagoula, Mississippi. Then there are places that I’ve been that I still have nightmares about like Kemper County, Mississippi. All places that required daily attendance and long hours at a desk in your offic (Read More)

One of the most common questions I get from people who know I work from home is how to furnish a home office on a budget, I get it a lot. Since I’ve been in this office furniture game for close to two and a half years now, I feel like I have gotten some insights into this question. I am by no means an interior designer, so please don’t look to me for any home remodeling advice unless you’re open to canary yellow walls throughout. I understand the desire to do a home office on a budget myself. I mean, I’m not the only person who notices that our hard earned dollars don’t go as far as they used to. It really is a different world than it (Read More)

You may be seeing black and white everywhere, as it seems to be a trending interior color palette, but black and white has made the rounds in interior design in many iterations throughout the past.

This classic duo offers endless possibilities for creating a dedicated home office that is both sophisticated and functional. The strongest cases for the color black, white, or both in a home office space tend to come from principles of minimalist home office design. Yet, this stylish combo is meant to help emphasize color through (Read More)

As I was researching my last blog, “A Guide to Finding the Right L-Shaped Desk for a Small Office” I kept coming back to the idea of my own L shaped desk in my home office. The more I studied and compiled data for the other blog, I also found myself setting aside inventory for ideas for corner desks and L shaped desks for a home office.

So, with that in mind we will look at Corner desks and L shaped desks for the home office. First, let’s look at the distinction between the two because they most (Read More)

Hacks to Improve Your Home Office Setup Before the pandemic, working from home was a luxury that not many were afforded. Since then, it seems like the #1 on a list of desirable job qualities. But being forced to do it unexpectedly had some complications. Many of us went home, setup a computer on a kitchen table or converted our closets into mini workspaces and have been doing it ever since. But is this the best way to work? According to a Start Standing article with statistics from Stanford Research: Many Americans lack the facilities...to work effectively from home. More than 50% are working in a shared room or their bedroom. (Read More)

This isn't to scare you off or make you second-guess your decision but when you begin working from home, everyone tends to face some of the same problems.

I like drag racing. It’s an interesting sport because the vehicles are purposefully built for a cold start ¼ mile straight line sprint to a finish. For drag racing they are perfectly suited for the drag strip but if you put one in a stock car race and they become a little more than useless. That’s why a drag car must stay in its lane- that pun was totally intended. Turning to office furniture with this illustration in mind, the conference room chair is the drag racer, and the conference room is the track. You see, we have office chairs that are built for full time service of the office worker. Built with comfort and support at the forefront of the de (Read More)

When thinking of a modern office, specifically the conference room the conventional thought for the office furniture is a modern shaped conference table. Like the boat shaped conference table that flairs out on the long ends so that everyone in the meeting can see each other, or the racetrack conference table that has rounded ends for a touch of uniqueness in the office furniture of the conference room. These two shapes seem to have been created for the modern office, but manufacturers are making a concerted effort to broaden the office furniture available for the aesthetic by applying modern touches to traditional conference table shapes. With that in mind, I am going (Read More)

This one feels a little special to me. As soon as I saw the word “cubby,” I was transported back to Mrs. McConnell’s classroom at Valley Junior High in Jasper, Alabama. I was in third grade, in the simple world of the 1980s, and she was a stickler for organization — equal parts mother and drill instructor. Every day, we were inspected: desks cleaned, supplies neatly arranged, and personal items tucked away in our assigned cubbyhole. That memory reminds me why cubby storage organizers remain such a timeless way to keep life neat and organized. Though it’s been decades, that single word instantly brought her to mind. Third grade was a transf (Read More)

When it comes to furnishing new conference room office furniture, the room is not complete without the conference room chairs. These key aspects of the puzzle are often overlooked or forgotten completely with on-hand used office chairs or uncomfortable folding chairs in rare circumstances.

    According to Arch2o multifunctional, multiuse and multipurpose spaces are defined as: a proper integration of several functions. In essence, taking a space and using it for more than one purpose. While everyone has a room in their house or office which has a dedicated name to make the use apparent, creating a multiuse room is not necessarily about changing the function of that space, but designing it in a way that opens it up seamlessly to another possibility of use. So, if conventionally a room has a particular use, why would it be important or even necessary to create a multifunctional space? Well, it's no surprise that in the past decade, at least, (Read More)

I recently took a look at Fresh Reception Desk Ideas for 2023 as an overall look at revitalizing your office space in the new year. While a reception desk is the centerpiece of a waiting room, it is not all the furniture that makes up the space. Another key office furniture need is waiting room seating.

Getting into the most comfortable position for your work throughout the day may not be as cut-and-dry as sitting in an armless office chair. We all like to move around regularly, sit cross-legged, or put our feet up from time to time, but doing that would also require you to find the best configuration for your laptop. While many offices nowadays prioritize a multitude of workspaces so that employees have the freedom to get the job done in the best environment for them, working from home and allowing yourself some freedom may not always be possible. Luckily, there is a simple tool that can help. --subscription-box-- What is a laptop table? A laptop stand or lapt (Read More)

Imagine you're in the perfect work-from-home office. You've got the ergonomic, or possibly, gaming chair. You splurged on the luxury mousepad and bought a footrest. You can kick back, type, and grab a snack from your under-desk mini-fridge. That's the life. If this is your dream but currently your home office is only a boring mini-prison, stay tuned. Accessories are a great way to add functional and easy-to-use gadgets to your office equipment. They can also add color, playful distractions, or cool tech solutions that you never knew you needed. But the ultimate goal of desk accessories is to help organize the space so that you can work diligently. H (Read More)
