It is a new year, and it’s time to spruce things up a little bit in the home office. Covid restrictions might have come and gone, but the after-effects of the pandemic are still felt in households around Ireland, with as many as 30% of Irish people still working remotely in some capacity. You might be asking, ‘well, how can DID help me?’. In this short and sweet article, we want to show you that you can revamp or renovate your remote working space so that you don’t feel like you are in a house, you feel like you are in your home office. It can be distracting working from home, and that can offset the positives of not having to travel to work. Still, with some of these brilliant home office essentials in your repertoire, you will never want to go back to the office again.

When it comes to a great quality office chair for the home office, we wanted to keep things practical and inexpensive. That is why we have included the Alphason Davis Mesh Fabric Office Chair, which is an absolute steal at only €110. The chair is height-adjustable, so you can change the height to suit your needs. It has a sturdy back and arms for ergonomic support that will keep you going for hours on end, and it is available in a stylish black colour. Perfect for most types of office. Oh, and it has wheels too, just in case you were wondering.

The chair is ideal for anyone working from home or looking to create a home office of their own on a budget.

Next up we have a top-quality desk for you to add to your home office to make it look stylish, sleek, and modern. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it is a gaming desk, it is a high-quality desk that is perfect for a range of different purposes. The angled steel frame provides a sturdiness that we love, and the carbon fibre effect worktop is stylish looking and durable and attractive. Plus, the fact that it is a gaming desk proves that it can hold a number of monitors or laptops if you are hard at work. Which we are sure you will be (*wink wink). The desk itself is €200, and you can have it delivered right to your door for an extra €30 (check out our delivery options)

We don’t think that you will get better value for a printer than for this Epson XP-3200. Every home office needs a printer, and this feature-packed printer has a selection of high-quality features that we are sure you will love. Print from your mobile easily, save space with its compact design, print one- or two-sided sheets, and connect it to your laptop or wi-fi.

Another thing we love about this printer is its ease of use thanks to the Epson Smart Panel app. Through the app, you can print directly from social media using your laptop, a mobile, or a tablet and scan your latest work documents. For such an accessible price, you get everything that you need in one compact place. You can’t get any better than that.

For those of you that are looking to add a little brightness to your home office, or perhaps for those that prefer to work late, we have the perfect, and most modern lighting solution here at DID. The Govee Lyra Smart Corner Floor Lamp is more than just a lamp, with DIY mode, more than 16 million different colour combinations available, music modes, scene modes, and an easy-to-use application to boot, you can make even the most stressful home office a calming and relaxing place.

If you are looking for high-quality sound in your home office, then you have it right here at your fingertips with the Sonos Roam. The Roam comes in at €180-200, but with its suite of features, you would be crazy not to consider it. It has 10 hours of playback time per charge, seamless connectivity, engineered acoustics to deliver the best sound quality possible, and a slimline and modern design that would not look out of place in any home office style. If you like to work with a little music in the background or enjoy listening to the radio while you work, then this portable beauty is precisely what you need.

Having a new and improved workplace is no good if you cannot access the internet for the important files/documents/information you need. That is why we have included a router in this blog because, without a high-quality connection to the internet, you might find that work is taking a lot longer than it should. This €55 router has fast and efficient dual-band wi-fi, easy control settings, a simple setup, and a sleek design that will look great anywhere in your office. A must-have.
