Working from home is here to stay, and getting your home-office set up to heighten productivity should be a top priority.

With almost 25% of the UK working from home during the week, it's no wonder people are looking to make their home-offices a more professional and productive space. From desks to chairs to tech, there are many things to consider when choosing the right pieces for your office.

However, it can be easy to forget the smaller items— the ones that determine how productive you are during your workday, such as organisers, memo boards and chargers. So we’ve scoured the internet and compiled a list of our favourites to help you find the essential items to perfect your desk setup.

This handy desk organiser is the perfect addition to your home office. The sleek, modern design looks great, and doesn’t take up too much room, meaning it’s perfect for any space. It has different compartments for pens and other stationery, sticky notes, business cards, as well as a phone stand with a charging hole.

Built with a magnetic base and six adjustable compartments, you can conveniently rearrange the organiser to suit your needs.

Say goodbye to neck pain with this monitor stand – an essential but often forgotten item in a home-office. With this model from John Lewis, you can raise your monitor or laptop by up to 14cm, which will help you find and maintain the correct posture while you’re working.

Reviewers say they love the sleek minimalist design and the convenient storage shelves that are perfect for tucking away your keyboard or keeping any important documents you need close by.

Peg boards are not only an aesthetically pleasing addition to a home office, but they’re also extremely useful. Whether it’s for posting up quick notes-to-self, or displaying your weekly calendar, they’re a great addition to any home office. We absolutely love this mint green version from MADE that also doubles as a magnet board. With a pen pot attached, this accessory will help keep you on track and thoroughly well organised.

If you’re anything like us, your desk drawers can be a messy mash-up of things you really do need and half- forgotten items that will probably never see the light of day again. However, with these handy drawer organisers, you’ll actually be able to turn your drawers into a functional, logically ordered space. This pack comes with 22 compartments, meaning that you’ll be able to organise all your desk drawers with just the one set.

If you’re a bit old-school and still use paper for your work-from-home setup, then this file tray is a perfect fit. With four shelves, it has space for all the essential documents you’ll need to keep on hand. We love the minimalist wooden look, and think that it would look good in any home office, no matter what your personal style is.

This planner pad is a great choice for any home office (or even just a general planner). The minimalist design gives it a timeless look and feel, and the lack of dates means you can buy or restock at any point during the year. Perfect for jotting down meeting details, quick notes, or planning your week, we think this planner is an absolute must buy for those who favour paper-based over electronic planning and note making.

Every home office needs a bit of greenery, and if you’re anything like us, you can struggle to keep even the most resilient plants alive. That’s why we think these artificial succulents are the perfect alternative — you get all the aesthetic value of plants, without any of the fuss. The pots come in cute colours, but if you’re looking for more of a monochrome, modern look, then this black and white set would be a great pick.

Having a spaghetti-like tangle of wires on your desk isn’t a great look. That’s why we love this wireless charging station. You can charge your phone, Apple watch and wireless headphones all at once. Your desk will look cleaner and more professional without all those loose wires, and more importantly, never again will your headphones embarrassingly die in a virtual meeting.

Feeling down and unmotivated working from home? Well, no more! With these colourful motivational quote cards, you’ll find the inspiration to be productive and work hard. Blank on the back, they’re also perfect to give to others as words of encouragement, and even make a great colourful decoration for your cork board setup.

While this probably isn’t a complete necessity, we’re completely obsessed with this glass whiteboard, which is perfect for quickly jotting down ideas. The frameless design and dry wipe surface means it will always look clean, fresh and modern. We love the yellow colour, but if that’s not your style, then the grey or blue might be a better choice.

We know not everyone has the space or funds for a perfectly kitted out home office, and if you can’t get an ergonomic chair, then this lumbar support pillow could be the perfect alternative. The pillow is filled with supportive memory foam, and promises to improve your posture. Even better, because it’s detachable, you can take it with you to those rare office days, or even on trips. Say goodbye to the days of slouching over your laptop, and hello to being comfortable at work.

We know keeping your home-office a productive and functional space without some sort of order is difficult, which is why we love the Yanavee Desk Organiser and 22 pack drawer organiser. It’s also helpful to be able to make notes at the drop of a hat, which the Leitz Glass Desk Easel and The Memo Board are absolutely perfect for.

Comfort is also a huge priority, and with the Abacus Monitor Stand and Specialist Synthetic Lumbar Support Pillow, you’ll be able to say goodbye to neck strain and hello to improved posture. So no matter what your specific need is, these desk accessories will help transform your home-office set-up into a place where you will thrive at work, at home!
