Tips on How to Decorate Your Home Office with Shackletons

Having a home office was once seen as a luxury, but with the recent uptake in remote working, having a dedicated working space is now often viewed as more of a necessity.

A home office needs to balance practicality and comfort, so finding the right furniture is important. At Shackletons Home and Garden, we offer a range of desks, office chairs, and accessories to help you furnish and decorate your home office beautifully.

Start with the Perfect Desk

The desk is the centrepiece of any home office, so it’s worth choosing one that suits your style and needs. We have an impressive selection of desks that cater to a variety of preferences:

• Bell & Stocchero Mono Desk: This desk offers a simple design that’s perfect for modern homes; its natural wood finish pairs well with neutral tones for a calm and chic office.
• Laura Ashley Balmoral 3 Drawer Desk in Honey: This stylish and practical desk is made with rich, honey-toned wood and has three spacious drawers for storage. It is ideal for creating a comfortable and inviting workspace.

Choose an Office Chair That Combines Comfort and Style

Your office chair is just as important as your desk. You’ll be spending hours sitting in it, so it’s important to choose a chair that provides both support and style. Our range of office chairs includes options to suit every preference:

• Baker Furniture Carter Office Chair: This chair offers a soft and supportive design, perfect for long working hours. Upholstered in PU leather effect upholstery, it’s both comfortable and stylish.
• Carlton Furniture Hudson Office Chair in Grey Leather: with its smooth grey leather and durable design, this chair offers comfort and a modern style that will complement any home office.

Add Decorative Touches

Once you’ve chosen your furniture, it’s   time to personalise it with accessories that inspire and motivate you.

Rugs

A well-placed rug can help define your working area while adding warmth and texture. Choose a rug that complements your colour scheme—a muted pattern can create a calming atmosphere, while a bold design can bring energy to the room.

Paint Colours

The colour of your walls can influence how you feel in your home office. Soft shades like light grey, sage green, or pale blue promote focus and relaxation. If you prefer something bolder, try a feature wall in a rich navy or deep green.

Lighting

Good lighting is key to a functional home office. Combine natural light with task lighting by adding a desk or floor lamp that provides focused light for working.

Storage and Organisation

Keeping your working area organised is essential for maintaining productivity. Add shelves, storage boxes, or baskets to keep clutter at bay. Our desks with built-in storage can also help you maximise your environment.

Finishing Touches

Decorate your home office with personal touches such as:

• Framed artwork or inspirational quotes.
• Potted plants bring in a touch of nature.
• Desk accessories like pen holders and organisers that match your decor.

Create a Working Environment That Reflects You

Whether you’re working from home full-time or need a dedicated area for occasional tasks, decorating your home office with Shackletons’ furniture can make all the difference. From stylish desks to supportive office chairs and thoughtful decorative touches, you can design a home office that is practical and welcoming.
