Tips for Creating a Comfortable Ergonomic Home Office

In order to create your awesome home office, you need to analyze what you have now. Ask yourself is it comfortable, can you produce good work, and does it function well enough. After answering these questions honestly, then it is time to work on improving your office.

The Computer Desk

Your computer desk should be 24 inches high. This allows the desk chair to slide underneath and for you to sit comfortably in the chair while working. Next to or on your computer desk should be your printer. Everything should be within an arms length for easy access. The file cabinet should be under or on the side of your desk so that you can find paperwork and file papers away. From your desk chair you should be able to reach everything. You should not have to get up and walk to get your supplies.
