Whether you’re a work-from-home expert or a soon-to-be school or college goer, you’ll need a designated space to take care of business at home. Not only that but you will also need to invest in good quality office furniture for your home office or bedroom too. A desk and chair are absolute musts, but they have to be able to provide relief from back and neck pain, boost your productivity, and make your workday or study area an enjoyable experience. And this isn’t necessarily an easy feat.

We sell ergonomic office chairs that give full-body support and top-quality office desks. For this blog, we have compiled some of the best contemporary office chairs and desks for school, college, and work. And if you’re starting from scratch decorating, we will also help you to easily organise your home office. Keep reading to learn more…it’s just that EZ!
The Rivoli Desk
When space is at a premium and generally it is in office spaces and children’s bedrooms, it’s important to have an office desk that has hidden shelves or drawers. The Rivoli Desk above has just that! With two partially covered shelves, this item gives the illusion of open shelving but is the perfect place for tidying things away and keeping them accessible at the same time. Notebooks, school supplies and stationery can be easily stored in these two open compartments and if you are someone who likes a completely cleared desk at the end of the day, a laptop, mouse, and keyboard can be kept here too!
The Mila Desk
Closed shelving and drawers are perfect for those messy individuals. I think it’s fair to say that most of us start off with great intentions with every new purchase. You’ll swear to keep your at-home office desk organised, but sometimes, life takes over and this task doesn’t seem as important as cooking dinner for instance. Can you tell I’m speaking from experience? If you are someone who does this frequently with other purchases, it may be time to start thinking about the Mila Desk above. Its metal legs are partnered with a rustic oak top and the two very handy drawers are great for tidying away your study equipment or office stationery. A wonderful addition to any colour scheme, this desk is perfect for contemporary interiors. It can be used for writing, working, or studying and items can be quickly stored away in its closed drawers….and not necessarily organised, but….you didn’t hear that from me, ok?
The Tia Desk
The beautiful white-topped Tia Desk can lend itself to a number of situations. Again, it features closed drawers for unorganised individuals who just want to store their office belongings quickly and out of sight. This desk is also extremely versatile because of its colour and design. The white top means that this desk would work well in a study room but could also be used in the bedroom as a dressing table. The drawers could be used for makeup or skin care products. All you need to do to complete the look is to add a mirror. Don’t you just love a multi-functional item?
The Rho Desk
Simple, yet practical, the Rho oak desk can be accommodated in even the smallest of rooms. A single, closed drawer is capable of holding quite a few schoolbooks, stationery, and cosmetics if placed in the bedroom. Like the other desks previously mentioned, the top provides plenty of room to work on while the beautiful oak would complement a variety of decor.
For desks without drawers, it’s worth considering alternative storage options including shelving, filing cabinets, bookcases, and display cabinets.
The Ottowa Office Chair
Now it’s time to look at some of EZ Living Furniture’s best office chairs. First and foremost, a desk chair must be comfortable because a person, teenager, or child could be spending the best part of the day or evening sitting on it. Combining comfort and elegance is the Ottowa Office Chair. My personal favourite, this beautifully designed chair is available in both black faux leather and grey velvet fabric and is height adjustable to ensure the perfect seating height for everyone. 5 legs with wheels allow this chair to move easily across wooden, tiled, or concrete surfaces.
Remember, desk chairs with wheels are never recommended for carpeted flooring because it restricts the movement of the chair.
The Enigma Office Chair
Support and comfort combined, the Engima office chair definitely doesn’t disappoint. Featuring an ergonomic design with thick padding and breathable mesh fabric, you can be guaranteed a comfortable seating experience when working or studying from home. This desk chair has a swivel feature making it easier to spin around to another area of the office space or bedroom. The seat height of the Enigma is adjustable allowing for even more flexibility. Surprisingly though, the head of this desk chair can also be lifted up and down slightly to mould to the curves of your neck and protect it from poor posture. This is not a feature often found on office chairs and is incredibly supportive and useful.
Alternatives To Consider
The Rivoli Coffee Table is the perfect alternative to a regular office desk. When space is limited, it pays to be smarter about purchases. Multi-functional furniture can serve a variety of purposes and is often the best choice for small homes and apartments where a separate home office is not available to you. This table comes with a twist and can give you two pieces of furniture in one. The Rivoli table above is primarily a coffee table but can be transformed into an office desk too by simply lifting the top of the table. The top section of the table when raised creates a desk that will enable you to work or eat from your sofa.
Tips For Organising Your Office Space
Working in an environment that is not optimised for your individual needs can cause a lack of motivation. This is the worst outcome, especially if working from a home office or studying at a desk in a bedroom. Incorporating the ancient art of feng shui into a space is just one way of saving you from a complete disaster. Feng shui can increase productivity and stimulate positive energy. It can also help you to organise your office desk and chair in the most efficient and beneficial manner.
