The pandemic left us with many new things, but one of the better remnants was the home office. So, if you are one of the lucky ones, setting up a comfortable working space with the right home office essentials is crucial.

There is no going wrong when purchasing basic items. We get it. They’re timeless, look sophisticated, and it eases those endless shopping hours. But, even if you are a workaholic, the loop can start to feel very repetitive at times. A slight office makeover might be the right call to brighten your work environment up.

From bold bookholders to cozy blankets, we’ve rounded up some playful home office essentials to get that workflow up and running. It's time to get back on track and kick this year off on a colorful note.
