Guys, most of us on in for the long haul when it comes to working from our home office. So we might as well make it pretty, or at least functional. A new rug, a fresh carafe of water, a nice new journal, a new set of pens, or a comfy chair can be worth a small investment to make the next several weeks (months? 😭) of social distancing a little more tolerable.
Revival Rugs Alysa Persian rugs, $273
Everyone knows a rug can really pull a room together. These are not only beautiful, but are more affordable because Revival cuts out the middle man.
Parsons open shelves desk, $279
If working from home is new to you—and if you’re hoping it will soon be but a memory—this desk can be used as a side table or shelving once you go back to the office.
Molly Hatch Make It Happen Notebook, $12
Buy a pretty, calming new journal to write down your to-dos and all the feelings.
Ban.do Write On pen set in Coming Up Roses, $14
Just the right pen can make or break the meaningfulness of a journal entry, to-do list, or great American novel.
Tina Frey Designs carafe, $221
Keep water at the ready in a gorgeous vessel.
Philipsburg task chair from Wayfair, $295
Make sure your desk chair is not only comfortable but also cute. I like mine without arms so it’s easier to sit crisscross applesauce on occasion. It also comes in gray and mint.
Sustainabar Bloom lotion bar, $6
Make sure you have some lotion handy for soft skin despite compulsive hand washing. And this one comes with no nasty plastic bottle. Also check out their dish soap and shampoo!
Grey Sun Dish by Pauline Wolstencroft, $45
Since Sustainabar lotion doesn’t come in a bottle, you may want to place it on this beautiful handmade plate. I know I do.
And if you’re ready for a whole new look, redecorate virtually with Decorist. Design and chat online with a designer to come up with an arrangement that might make social distancing your new favorite thing.
