The equipment you choose for your home office completely depends on the space you have available. You don’t necessarily require a large space to create an effective home office, which is why we always recommend starting with a home office desk and comfortable chair, before deciding how much space you have remaining for storage such as filing cabinets, bookcases and other accessories. Here at UK Office Furniture you’ll find options to suit any space and style.
All of our office chairs are ideal for home use, but we generally suggest you opt for a comfortable chair that supports your back and encourages a healthy posture. Our ergonomic office chairs are specifically designed to offer more lumbar support, while providing you the ability to move the height or angle of your office chair to suit your needs, meaning they are perfect for home office use. For more information on the best office chairs for back support, check out our blog.
If you’re looking for a more luxurious feel to complement your home office, then you can’t go wrong with one of our boardroom chairs.
Choosing the right home office desk will help you to create an effective workspace, making productivity easy. It’s important to consider your requirements properly – do you require additional storage within your desk or are you looking for a desk with adjustable height?
If your workspace is limited, then a smaller, space efficient desk would be best. For example, the Soho Milton Desk. Or if you really want to maximise space then a corner desk might be for you.
We offer a selection of home office desks for you to choose from, all with free next day UK delivery.
Our storage cabinets and units keep all of your paperwork under control, with different size and style options to suit your requirements. Lots of our home office furniture options feature integrated storage, but we do also offer a variety of separate home office storage from filing cabinets to mobile pedestals.
Last but not least, it’s important to consider all of the finishing touches to complete your remote workspace. Plants, lighting and photos are always a great way to give your office a personal feel.

When it comes to office chairs, back support is everything. Whether you’re working from your home or in the office, any office chair you sit in for 8 hours a day must support your back enough to offer comfort day in, day out.

When you’re looking for an office chair that supports your back, you really want to be looking for an ergonomic office chair. It’s vital to make the right choice, as ergonomic office chairs are designed to offer more lumbar support, with the ability to move the height or angle of your office chair to support your body height or weight. For example, the Aspect Ergonomic Chair is designed for users that are taller, with longer legs, whereas the Vista Office Chair is capable of 24 hour use with users up to 24 stone/152kg.
Posture is of the utmost importance, as sitting still for long periods of time puts considerable pressure on your spine. Investing in an ergonomic office chair that offers the back support you need will pay dividends in later life, as well as being more comfortable during the day. There are also other reported health benefits associated with having an ergonomic chair, such as improved blood circulation, and reduced hip pressure. Having your chair set to a 90-degree angle is the ideal angle to ensure you’re sitting correctly, with good posture and blood flow.
Ergonomic office chairs usually cost a little more than a regular (or non-ergonomic office chairs) but when you’re spending 8 hours of your day sitting in a chair, it’s worth every penny! Bad posture can lead to joint and muscle issues down the line but the right chair can help you avoid these health problems, and if there’s one thing we all know… you really can’t put a price on that!
Our ergonomic office chairs are tested to BS 5459 (2000) part 2 certification:
“Office pedestal seating for use by persons weighing up to 150kg and for use up to 24 hours a day, including type-approval tests for individual components” Source: BSI Group
