Making Your Home Office Work for You

Simple upgrades to transform your workspace into a focus-friendly, productivity-boosting zone

Cherice: Working remotely has its perks (hello, no commute), but the biggest challenge? Blurred lines between work and life. That’s why I keep my home office setup minimal and compartmentalized. When everything has a place, I stay clear-headed and productive.

Lehna: If my desk is messy, my brain feels messy. I’ve learned that simple organization systems are the key to staying on track—no need for a full-on office makeover. Whether it’s cords, clutter, or chaos, these easy home office essentials make a real difference.

Curating your Space for Productivity

1. Charging Accessories

   Cherice: Between my work laptop, desktop Mac, Zoom light, and two phones (yes, both), the cord situation can get out of hand fast. That’s why I swear by these little desk cord clips—they keep everything in place and my sanity intact.

   
   

   Lehna: I feel like something of mine always needs to be charged. That’s why I’m all about finding charging stands that actually look good and help keep my desk from turning into a tangled mess. This one’s a favorite—not just because it’s simple and sleek, but because I can plug it right into my computer with a USB port if I run out of outlets.

2. Keeping your Desk Organized

   Cherice: I’m all about organizers with levels and drawers—because let’s be real, I don’t want to see anything until I actually need it. Hidden storage, clean lines, and luxe vibes only.

   
   

   Lehna: My secret weapon? A compact shredder right under the desk. Whether it’s junk mail or old notes, shredding it instantly makes my workspace feel calmer—and it doesn’t take up a ton of room like office-style machines.

   
   

3. Personal Touches

   Cherice: One of the best parts of a home office? You control the vibe—fully sensorial. I’ve got playlists for deep focus, and candles ready to reset the mood after those meetings. Bonus points if the candle comes with a little inspirational quote to remind me I’m that girl.

   
   

   Lehna: I keep a scented candle on my desk for instant calm and lingering good vibes. Some are chic enough to double as decor, while others just smell too good not to light.

Curated Extra - Portable Touches

Cherice: When desk life gets stale, I grab my lap desk and switch it up—couch, bed, even my hair appointments (yes, really). It’s lightweight, portable, and makes it easy to stay productive wherever I feel most comfortable. Because for me, comfort is the real productivity hack.

Lehna: My my standing desk and walking pad have changed everything. I sneak in movement during work, which makes me feel productive and energized—like I cracked the remote work code.

Whether you're fully remote or hybrid, your home office setup should support your goals—not get in your way. With a few thoughtful upgrades, you can create a space that fuels focus, reflects your style, and keeps you excited to show up every day.
