Okay let’s get into it!
List of all my favorite home office items: https://amzn.to/3SS6YZc
Mood lights for behind the computer - These are a huge game changer. It makes my office much more cozy and really helps with the ambiance from staring at a computer. Having the computer backlit by these lights was the missing piece to my office.
Square Cork Boards - I have 2 of these boards on my wall to put reminders, prayers and other notes I need for my office. I love the look of these and the minimalism.
Square Calendar Whiteboards - I have 4 of these with a gold frame. I like being able to see my calendar at a 4 month glance so having 4 of these is both aesthetic with the layout and functional.
Standing Desk Converter - I already had an amazing desk that I loved so I didn’t want to get rid of it for a standing desk, plus I couldn’t afford a standing desk so I found a converter to put on top of my desk. This one is a bit heavy to transport but is very easy to use once set up on my desk. It has a leaver that I pull to manually raise or lower it. I also like that it gives me more room on my desk.
Task list white board for desk top - This small desk top white board is great for quick notes and reminder to myself as well as daily task lists.
Apple Magic Trackpad - As a graphic designer, I primarily use my track pad on my MacBook to do all my design work. I’ve tried using a mouse with my desktop but for me it just doesn’t work as smoothly for all the design work I do. So I got the Apple magic trackpad so that I can still use a trackpad when using my desktop monitor.
Samsung M80C Smart Monitor 4K 32” - I love this monitor! I was torn between the iMac monitor and this one but I saw how amazing the reviews were and I just needed on that I could plug my Macbook into to use. It’s also nice because it can function as a smart TV too so I can play Netflix on it while I work on my laptop too.
Logitech K380 keyboard - I love this keyboard because of it’s size and the style of the buttons. They are softer and quiet which I love because I really don’t like loud keyboards. It’s also easy to throw in my backpack when needed too. Oh and it’s Bluetooth so no cords!
Blue Yeti Microphone - I use this for my podcast and voiceover recordings. The sound quality is great and it’s easy to use for anyone.
Poppins Brand Pens - These are my favorite pens. They write so smoothly and just have a good feel to them. I only use these and the ParKoo pens also linked in my storefront.
External Battery Charger - I’ve run into the situation far too many times at coffee shops where there’s no plug near me and no other tables to move to but I desperately need to charge my computer to keep working. I did some digging and discovered there are external battery chargers that work with computers. I knew they had these for phones so I figured there must be ones for computers too. This works great when I’m in a pinch and can’t access a plug.
Clear Acrylic Degree Frame - I wanted a more sleek-looking and smaller frame for my college degree and this one was perfect for the style I wanted. I still have my fancy frame my mom got me for my degree but for now the acrylic one is perfect for my office design.
Cord Organizers - This isn’t as fun as the other items but it’s helpful! I needed a functional way to organize my cords and these stick on organizers were perfect.
If you try any of these for your home office, let me know! I would love to know what you think in the comments!
