At the beginning of 2020 when life was flipped upside down, who knew that we’d still be WFH a whole year later? It seems almost impossible that we all used to wake up, get dressed, and head out to an actual office for a day of working with actual people.
Now that it is so ingrained in our daily lives, optimizing your WFH environment is a good way to combat the office-shaped hole in your life. WFH seems to be lasting forever, so it's time to invest in really setting up your setup.
We’ve all had enough time to figure out what’s missing from our home office space, but in case you’re still looking for that missing piece, we’ve rounded up a handful of home office essentials from perfect lighting to desk toppers, wellness-break gear, and even gowns.
Check our WFH 2.0 shopping list below.
