Solutions for Remote Work and Homework

With working from home being more prominent than ever in this "Covid-era," it’s no secret that an office space or designated work area is beneficial for a remote employee. “Globally, 16% of companies are fully remote,” according to an Owl Labs study. “This same study found that about 62% of workers aged 22 to 65 claim to work remotely at least occasionally.”

As an at-home employee, you may feel less stressed by having an organized space that isn't so nomadic. Although working at the kitchen table may be convenient, at the end of the day all notes and electronics will be pushed aside as you transition to dinner. (Not to mention relocating those annoying laptop charger wires—ahh!)

Not Just for the Parents

Not only does an allocated work area benefit remote employees, it also benefits the kids. That’s right—summer has come and gone in a flash and we’re back to a nightly homework routine. Having a study area helps a child to focus, block out distractions, and establish structure.

Tasteful Yet Purposeful

Furniture companies have listened to consumers and created desk options in all styles and sizes. Big, bulky mahogany desks are becoming a trend of the past, while useful yet decorative pieces are on the rise. For instance, the Bryson Desk has drawers for storage, a large surface area for work, and a stylish white shagreen finish with a metal base. This desk is also available in two sizes.

Elevate Your Workspace

Something more contemporary that could be used as a console table in addition to a working space is the striking Travertine Desk, which features a geometric metal base and a 68” travertine stone top. It offers a large work surface and four cubbies to house work materials or décor. This piece is a must-see in person and is currently available at PDHG.

Not Your Mother's Filing Cabinet

We also carry vendors who are reimagining the traditional metal file cabinet into something far more visually appealing. For example, this filing chest features contemporary fretwork on two full-extension drawers that accommodate both letter and legal sizes. With removable trays and stylish metal ferrules, it’s clear that workspace storage has come a long way.
