I've been working from a home office since my time in university and since then it has changed considerably from a dull, utilitarian space to a more clean, fresh and comfortable room which is much more conducive to work, for me at least. There are a few work and home office essentials I've discovered, from the very basics to others that are a little more obvious yet important and understated.
Desk
One of the most important aspects of any office, whether at home or at work, is a desk. Mine is from Ikea, it's white, clean and is the perfect size for the room and for what I need. I love desks with added storage or something a little more unique about them such as glass topped desks (which I love and will probably buy next) to more modern, modular office furniture - the latter is perfect for a work place as it's sleek, professional and easy to switch up, move around and change. Additionally, a tidy space means a tidy mind which is something I always stick by as if my desk is cluttered then I tend not to be as productive.
Office Chairs
Next up, a comfy ergonomic chair is another must for a work or home office. I think the most common are mesh office chairs which I do like the look of but for my home office I definitely prefer something a little more homely and larger. I tend to spend most of the day in my home office so it needs to be comfortable but again, as with my desk, I think I do need an upgrade soon and I might opt for a cosy, homely chair instead.

Stationery
Stationery is something I can't get enough of, I'm constantly buying more but I do use it everyday for to-do list, notes and ideas. I always have a fulled stocked stationery drawer in my desk that is filled with notebooks, sticky notes, pens, page makers and my bookmarks so it's all together. I adore Kikki K stationery as well as notebooks from Old English Co and my personalised Ryman notebook.
Light
Last but not least is light! I have my desk right next to a window so I can get as much light as possible as there's nothing more productivity draining than a dull, dim and dingy office with little light. I also have a gorgeous and unique light from Filampthropy which I adore and it looks perfect in my office at add a little colour and light into the small space. Daylight bulbs would also be fantastic for work or home office lights to get rid of that headache inducing florescent office lighting.
