Upgrade Your WFH Space With these Accessories

We all witnessed what WFH (work from home) was like quite recently. It was productive for some, and depressing for others. It definitely changed the work dynamic, and how we used to look at daily tasks and meetings. Conference halls turned into zoom meetings and handwritten notes turned into Google docs. Some of the problems faced included the inability to focus properly, laziness, no dedicated IT support and an improper work environment. That’s exactly what we’re going to address today. 

While the majority of people may have returned to their workplaces, we believe there’s a significant number of contractors, freelancers and even entire workforces working solely from home. We’ve put together a list of nine accessories that’ll help upgrade your WFH space. The benefits: less frustration, less fatigued minds, entertainment and higher productivity!

Ergonomic Mouse

As much as you think you can get the job done solely with your mouse’s trackpad, you can’t. Even if it doesn’t frustrate you, most trackpads on laptops are fragile and may not be able to withstand eight hours of consistent use. We suggest buying a nice Bluetooth mouse that’s ergonomically designed. Depending upon the size of your hand, you may either get a mouse with a finger grip or palm grip — whatever is most comfortable.

Ergonomic Office Chair

If you’ve got a nice work desk, you must get an ergonomic chair to go with it. If you’re working from your bed, however, you’ll be in trouble so avoid doing that. An ergonomic office chair will allow you to stretch, move around freely and provide ample support for your back. 

Desk Lamp

A desk lamp is important for three reasons: for ambiance, for you to be able to look at your keyboard in the dark and for writing on paper. It’s a very important accessory and serves as an excellent decor item for the room.

RGB Lights

RGB (red, green, and blue) lights are more popular than ever. You may get your hands on USB RGB lights or ones that come with a remote and are powered through an electric socket. Either way, you can stick them up behind your monitor or below your table, and they’ll help you set the desired mood for your room. If you’re a writer, coder, musician or somebody who relies mainly on some inspiration for your work, RGB lights can help considerably.

External SSD or HDD

Data transfer is a big concern even if you’ve got USBs for it. A better choice is an SSD (solid-state drive) or an HDD (hard state drive). These are comparatively expensive, but faster and handier than any USB drive. 

Rotating TV Mount

A rotating TV mount allows you to rotate your TV about 90 degrees. They’re available in both landscape and portrait options and whether you’re using your TV for entertainment or work, a rotating TV mount will make things a whole lot easier for you.

 Wireless Phone Charger

Your smartphone must support wireless charging for this to work — most android phones and all iPhones after X (X included) support this feature. Wireless chargers work by creating a magnetic field that your phone and other devices absorb to gain energy. They help eliminate the hassle of constantly unplugging or plugging your device.

Bench and Dumbbells

Folks in the WFH space have two choices: they can either further reduce their already limited physical exertion or they can use their drive and frustration to get in shape. We’re rooting for the latter option and suggest you buy some basic gym gear to get going. 

Bluetooth Speakers

Instead of having to plug in your earphones time and again, just get your hands on a pair of Bluetooth speakers. Whether you need to watch tutorials on YouTube, want a short Netflix break, like listening to music as you work, or have meetings to attend all day, Bluetooth speakers will never do you wrong.
