The COVID-19 pandemic changed the world in so many ways. For over two years, we wore masks, distanced ourselves from one another, quarantined ourselves to protect loved ones, and put our lives on hold for the greater good.
Since 2022, things have (more or less) gone back to normal. Many people treat the virus just as they would the flu, and while masks are still requested in some sections of the world, they’re not always required like they were two, three, or even four years ago.
With all that said, some things haven’t changed. If there’s one way the pandemic positively impacted some people in the world, it’s that working from home became a norm for many companies. Sure, some businesses have gone back into the office full-time, but many marketing, tech, IT, and even sales companies either remained remote to cut overhead costs or adopted a hybrid model to give their employees a better work/life balance.
If you’re in that boat, Grand Home Furnishings is calling out to you.
Work From Home, Work in Style with Grand Home Furnishings
Work-from-home jobs require employees to treat their living space just as they would a desk or cubical in the office. When the pandemic hit, people got away with working from bed or the sofa because it was thought to be a temporary solution. Now, with hybrid and remote jobs solidifying themselves as permanent options, it’s often assumed — or even required — that employees dedicate a part of their house to work-related affairs. Whether that’s a full-blown office, a spare bedroom, or even a corner in the hallway, you won’t be your most productive self if you don’t create a dedicated space for your job (or even your passion projects).
That’s why Grand is here to help. From desks to bookshelves to chairs and storage options, we’ve got all the pieces available to help you revamp your at-home workspace.
Take a look at some of the essential options available to you:
- Desks: Whether you’re hoping to find a space-saving desk, like the Emma Rolling Desk with Stool Set, or a more spacious option, such as the Remington Writing Desk, we’ve got you covered. Take things a step further with standing desk options; the Realyn Lift Top Desk is as elegant as it is practical, while the Drake Power Lift Top Desk offers flexible seating/standing options at the click of a button.
If you’re looking to design a home office, a good desk is both the focal and starting point of the process. Our advice? Choose something that will last a decade or more and build around it rather than trying to fit a desk to what’s already in place.
- Bookshelves: If a desk is the room’s focal point, the bookshelf is your primary accent piece. A good bookshelf offers inspiration and beauty all in one. It offers storage space, organizational capacity, and a touch of personal style. You can learn a lot about a person from the things they keep shelved in an office — and by the style of the shelving itself. Consider a gorgeous cherry bookcase for a stronger, more traditional look, or perhaps something in a modern style (like this Frankwell Bookcase with a tubular metal frame).
- Office Chairs: A good office chair should not only match the room’s décor and tone but also provide comfort and stability for long days and nights working to get the job done — whatever that job may be.
Looking for value? The Starmore Desk Chair is a stylish, affordable option with heavily padded, faux leather seats and a sturdy metal frame. How about the best of the best? Look no further than the Carillion Leather Desk Chair, a swivel-function seating option crafted of 100 percent Aniline top-grain leather with a dark walnut base that screams excellence in any room.
Complete the Look at Grand
Desks, chairs, and storage options alone might do fine for a hallway or closet, but they won’t complete a full-blown home office. Finding the right décor, such as benches, lamps, rugs, and more will only make this dedicated area an even better fit for your desires.
