Home Office Furniture

What is home office furniture?

Home office furniture is everything that makes a workspace at home work: a desk, a chair, and enough storage to keep the paperwork off the desk. Get those three right and the rest is decoration.

Start from how you use the room. Someone handling email in the evenings needs very little. Someone working full time, on video calls, with files to keep, needs a proper desk, a chair with real adjustments and closed storage. Work out which you are before you buy anything.

Desks: sizes and storage

Measure the wall first. The Manila 2 Door Rattan Compact Storage Desk is 120cm wide with concealed storage behind two doors, which suits a bedroom that doubles as a study. The Lancaster Study Desk is 135cm with four drawers and a cupboard, in grey or cream. If you want the most working surface, the Corona Computer Desk runs to 145.5cm in solid waxed pine with four drawers and a keyboard shelf. For something that arrives built, the Edison Desk with Gold Legs is delivered assembled in reclaimed wood.

Chairs and seating

Judge an office chair on its adjustments. The Comet Faux Leather Gaming Chair adjusts from 121cm to 131cm and has a tilt mechanism, lumbar and neck support, moving armrests and a five castor base. If the room is also somewhere you read or take a break, an accent chair earns its corner: the Gramercy Accent Chair in brown faux leather or the Lucerne Velvet Accent Chair in grey velvet.

When the office is also the spare room

Plenty of home offices have to be a guest room a few times a year. A sofa bed handles both without the room being rebuilt every time someone stays, and a console table used as a narrow desk frees up the floor. Oak, grey, black, white and pine run through the range, so the room can match the rest of the house rather than an office bolted on.

Delivery and assembly

Much of this range is in stock for next working day delivery when you order before 12pm, with free delivery on thousands of products. Most pieces are flat-pack; if you would rather not build one, add our in-home assembly service from our partner Screwdriver on the product page, at a flat rate.

Home office furniture FAQs

What furniture do I need for a home office?

A desk, a chair you can sit in comfortably, and somewhere to put the paperwork. Those three cover almost every setup. Add a bookcase once you know how much you need to store, and an occasional chair if the room is also for reading.

What size desk do I need?

Measure the wall first, then work back from what sits on it. Widths here run from slim ladder desks for a corner up to around 145cm. Depth matters as much: 45 to 55cm suits a laptop and monitor, and every product page lists full dimensions.

How do I choose an office chair?

Look at the adjustments rather than the styling. Adjustable seat height, a tilt mechanism, lumbar support and armrests that move matter more over a working day than the colour does. A five castor base helps in a small room.

Do I have to assemble home office furniture myself?

Most of this range is flat-pack, and each product page says which. If you would rather not build it, tick the box there to add our in-home assembly service from our partner Screwdriver, charged at a flat rate. Some ranges arrive ready assembled instead.

How long does delivery take on home office furniture?

Order before 12pm and thousands of our in-stock products arrive the next working day. Some ranges run to 3 to 5 or 7 to 10 working days. The expected date is on every product page, and you can choose your delivery date at checkout.

Can I return home office furniture if it does not fit?

Yes. The majority of our products carry a 30-day returns window. Let us know by email within 14 days of delivery, keep the original packaging, and have the item back within 30 days. Checking dimensions first saves the trouble.

Can I spread the cost?

Flexible finance and buy now pay later options are available at checkout, subject to status. The plans appear on the product page and at checkout, so you can buy the desk and chair together rather than one at a time.
