New inventory comes in just about everyday to the online marketplace of Madison Liquidators. It has been a while since I have done a rundown of the new inventory available, so I will do it now under the premise of furnishing a home office on a budget only from the newest items to come to Madison Liquidators.
First thing I want to do is a traditional desk and chair setup. Since this is a home office on a budget, I will not worry with too many accessories. Working on a budget of around a thousand, and I realize that may seem like a lot of money and trust me it is… but I am looking for professional grade office furniture that is built to last. Not some cheap retail versio (Read More)

Are you AI image fatigued yet? We hope not.
If you're an avid user of Facebook or any social media platform, then by now you may be quite tired of seeing everyone and their cousin generate AI images of themselves as anime characters or with their ideal body (you know you've done it too).
But AI is a tool, and as such, it offers immense value for what its AI imagination (or human-taught AI imagination) can dream up about interior trends, namely: modern home offices.
New and unique color combinations, furniture placements, cool gadgets, accessories, and even decor find inspiration in these surreal snapshots brought to you by careful, prompt engineering.

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)

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. It got to the point to where I had to decide to create a completely separate blog to highlight the idea of these pieces of office furniture 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.

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 office.

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)

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.

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 d (Read More)

In meetings with specialists at Madison Liquidators, I had time to compare notes on office cabinets. It’s always interesting to see what another set of eyes will catch and what you may have missed and vise versa.

So with this writing, we are going to highlight different kinds of storage cabinets that are found on the Madison Liquidators online marketplace.

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.

I always get a lot of comments and questions about the price of our commercial office furniture. Some people are convinced that since they have seen a similar model in a retail store somewhere that we are gouging our prices.

Do you remember when you were a kid and the worst punishment you could get was being grounded? You would be in your room, looking longingly out of the upstairs window while your friends rode bikes or played tackle football.
If you were really lucky, it didn't last more than a day.
But why was that the worst form of punishment? Maybe it's because humans need outdoors and fresh air just as much as we need food and shelter. The multitude of ways that science has uncovered (and is still uncovering) how the outdoors improves our mood and overall well-being cannot be overstated.
For example, the American Psychological Association states that chi (Read More)

Personal health has come to the forefront of office workers in the last few years. Of course, the global pandemic has put a greater spotlight on personal health but even before then the office furniture industry had been paying greater attention. The focus of the industry has been on ergonomics.

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. Since the waiting room is the first place that guests will see when entering your business, it is important to have attractive, comfortable, and durable office furniture seating for them when they visit. This first impression will go a long way in setting the tone for your office with guests.

Recently I was given the chance to select a new office chair for my home office. I am an employee of Madison Liquidators that works remotely from home. I spent a week in the office back in June and while there I had the opportunity to try out several office chairs to make an educated decision.

Over 66% of households own a pet according to the American Pet Products Association, with Millennials taking the largest share of pet ownership at 33%.

This is my regular reminder that sit stand desks exist and improve the health of the office worker. I was talking with a friend who is an office worker from home the other day and she was complaining about how sitting down so much has made her seek out the aid of a chiropractor about once a quarter. This immediately got me championing sit stand desks as a healthy alternative that can give her much needed movement daily while still remaining just as productive. She said she had heard of them but thought they were more of a novelty than an actual fundamental change that I view them as.

I do all my writing in my home office, and I recently realized that I don’t talk enough about office furniture selections for a space like this. Many of us began working from a dedicated space in our homes around the time of the onset of Covid-19 and have stayed there ever since.

So, over the next few months, I will be looking at office furniture that will fit in small places inside a home office or even that professional business that doesn’t have much workspace.
