Work from home: 10 buys to upgrade your home office or workspace

Another work-from-home week looming?

Same here. However, having been a freelance journalist on-and-off for years, I like to think I have some experience in the area (although, admittedly, prior to this, I would have done a lot of my 'from home' work from a really nice coffee shop of my local Starbucks, to be honest). Nonetheless, the point remains the same: Having a nice, cosy area to do your work makes all the difference, and with that in mind, here are 10 gorgeous buys for your new home office (whether this is an actual office, a corner of your bedroom or the bottom half of the dining table!) 1. White desk lamp Task lighting is important, and you might as well invest in a lamp you actually like looking at. €35.99, Zara Home 2. Round rattan storage basket Keep your bits in the same place to avoid chaos. I love this little basket for my markers, lip gloss, AirPods etc. €22.99, H&M Home 3. Acrylic Letter Holder Keep those papers in order with this clever device. £14.99, Amazon 4. Blush Pink Shorty Storage Locker Another clever buy to make sure all your work bits are kept safe in the same space. €155, Oliver Bonas 5. Helen James Considered 'Super' Cushion A little comfort for your back with a little morale boost added too. €10, Dunnes Stores 6.
