FAVORITES II
Even if you have the most ergonomic office chair, you still should take a break from sitting in front of a screen all day. Try to integrate a lounge chair with a footrest to take phone calls, open mail, read printed reports or meditate. Albers Design did just that with a comfortable armchair and ottoman in this home office in Mound, Minnesota.
When balanced by other colors and natural light, black can be a good option for a home office because it’s said to have a grounding and calming effect. In this raised office nook by Samalex in Adelaide, Australia, warm wood, lots of sunlight and white ceiling and trim paint help keep the black-painted walls from feeling too cave-like.
