One of the most important things you will do for your home based office is purchasing office furniture.

Your home office should be large enough to comfortably accommodate you and your office equipment. The amount of home office furniture you have will depend on the needs of your business. Some key factors for home office furniture include an electrical power supply, proper lighting and ventilation, an office desk, chairs, electronic office equipment, and storage solutions.

Electric Power

List of the equipment needed to run your home office, then check electrical outlets and wiring where the office will be located. Electrical warning signs such as outlets with loose fitting plugs, dimming lights, or popping circuit breakers should be checked by a certified electrician.

Lighting

The design of your home office must include effective overhead lighting for your workspace. Improper lighting can lead to various health problems like eye strain, or head and neck pain. Track or florescent lights are some typical light sources that many customers select when buying home office furniture. No matter what type of lighting you choose for your home office, use long-lasting, energy efficient light bulbs.

Ventilation

As vital to your business as home office furniture, proper ventilation is often overlooked but necessary for office equipment, as well as your personal well being. Without proper ventilation, excessive heat can damage computers or other office equipment, and turn your home office into a sweltering room that is too uncomfortable for customers or clients. Air conditioners or overhead fans will keep office equipment cool, and protect the health of you and your customers.

Office Desk

Your home office furniture should include a sturdy desk large enough to hold your computer equipment and phone system, with enough usable space to work efficiently. Purchase a desk lamp with adjustable arms that will provide a source of good general light.

Office Chair

The chair that you select for your home based business should be a comfortable office chair with wheels. When shopping for a desk chair, buy the best one that you can afford. You will be sitting for long periods of time and should use an ergonomic chair with back support.
