The home office has become an integral part of our lives. Current circumstances have led to a growing number of people shifting from on-site to remote work. Many employers also see major benefits in this model—such as cost savings. However, it’s important to prepare appropriately in terms of space and furniture. See how to set up your home office.
How to Prepare a Space for a Home Office?
Before arranging your home office, it’s good to familiarize yourself with basic health and safety rules. Working from home also requires proper preparation to ensure the space is safe. Additionally, think about how many hours you’ll devote to work and what your break schedule will look like. Home office organization is extremely important for efficient, well-thought-out work. Plan a schedule of your tasks and always establish priorities. It’s best to do the most important things first. Trust me—a key point is separating work tasks from household duties. As I write this, I’m at home myself, sitting comfortably in my cozy space and sipping freshly brewed coffee. 😉
The next step is selecting the spot for your home office. It should be comfortable and calm, with at least a bit of space so that working there is pleasant and productive. Whether it’s a separate room or a corner of the living room, choosing the right furniture is essential. It doesn’t have to look exactly like a traditional office. It can be a functional workspace during the day and then double as a place for creativity or personal pursuits after hours.
A Small Desk for Home Office
If you prefer minimalist furniture, check out our range of desks. They captivate with remarkable design while providing sufficient workspace. You could even place the chosen model in a bedroom. The Vogel S Wooden Desk features compact dimensions of 77 × 100 × 50 cm—it doesn’t take up much space, yet helps organize documents and positions your laptop or computer properly. Plus, it has two wooden drawers for small items. Legs made from natural materials keep the structure stable. And after work, the desk can even serve as a vanity. You can also pick from a variety of finishes for the desktop—from natural whitewashed oak to black oak—and match the legs and body accordingly.

A Sturdy, Spacious Desk for Home Office
Are you fortunate enough to have a dedicated home office? Or maybe you have more space to arrange your workspace? Consider the Vogel L Wooden Desk from our collection, measuring 77 × 140 × 60 cm. Its large surface offers even more comfortable space, perfect for extra monitors or organizers. The design includes three practical drawers for documents and office supplies. Not only is this desk highly functional, it’s also a designer piece that complements your home interior. Alternatively, the Vogel M Wooden Desk might be the ideal choice: the most classic and optimal size is 120 × 60 cm. This standard dimension suits most rooms, with enough surface area to position a monitor, keyboard, and still have ample space. It’s a great desk for school-age kids and teens, and exceptionally comfortable for home office use. Despite its larger size, assembling it is straightforward—you just need to fasten eight screws, with no specialized equipment. As with the smaller Vogel S, you can choose different finishes for the top, legs, and body.
A Scandinavian Desk That Will Win You Over
If you’re looking for a simple yet stylish design, explore our other desks. For example, the Oslo collection includes pieces crafted with remarkable precision.

Complete your home office with a Bakke shelf or other models in our range (like Sky or Slott). These lightweight constructions are perfect for home office needs.
