What is your home office must have related to the setup?

by•

For myself it's a height adjustable desk and a second screen.

A window and fresh air is crucial to my home office space! What about you Marvin?
Martin Schumacher
@curtischou fresh air is awesome. When I arrive in the office I always open windows first, prepare my coffee/tea and close the window again.

@curtischou Good points, I also need a window, daylight and fresh air. For myself is also a height adjustable desk super important. I really like to stand up during meetings.

@mighty_muddy Nice!! Are you more a coffee or tea person?

A second screen and a comfortable office chair.
Marvin Mändle
@viola_s yes these are the essentials. I like my gaming chair and can sit there all day long!

@marvin_maendle Gaming chairs are really comfortable. I had one in my old apartment.

A good office chair that allows me to work comfortably, a mouse (I’m old school) and a tea kettle

@access24 I prefer coffee but I agree with your must haves. A good Chair is so important. I actually use a gaming chair, really like it.

Most important for me is my gaming chair and at least 2-3 even screens. But the amount of screens has no cap. And of course the coffee machine.

@mighty_muddy I have a gaming chair too and love it. Screens are also super important. My coffee machine is in the kitchen and I like to go down the stairs and get a new one. These 3 minutes are super to refresh my brain.

Good natural light, a proper chair and ensuring your screen is at the right height

A working AC is a must-have for my home office setup, especially since I faced an AC repair problem lately and couldn't work at all.

@emily_harris Yeees, I faced the same problem. A working AC is absolutely essential, especially during those hot summer months. I recently had an AC breakdown and couldn't work at all until it was fixed. It's such a relief to have reliable HVAC installation and maintenance. I highly recommend checking out https://alphamechanicals.com/ for their excellent service. They were quick and efficient in getting my AC back up and running.

A well-equipped home office makes all the difference in productivity and comfort. One essential is a single zone ductless mini split, which provides efficient heating and cooling without the need to regulate the entire house. I installed mine from MiniSplits4Less, and it’s been a game-changer for maintaining a comfortable workspace year-round.

Beyond temperature control, an ergonomic chair and adjustable desk are crucial for long work sessions, preventing strain and discomfort. Good lighting is also key—natural light is ideal, but a daylight LED lamp helps reduce eye strain when working late. A well-thought-out setup ensures both efficiency and long-term comfort.
