In an effort to slow and eventually stop the spread of the coronavirus, we’re all facing a new normal. Many businesses and offices have temporarily shuttered, forcing many to work from home and even take on new roles such as home schooling our children.

If you don’t have a home office, transforming your space into an efficient and chic workplace doesn’t mean breaking social distancing — shopping is just a click away. Whether you’re being practical, stress splurging, or simply looking to add some happiness to your impromptu workspace, we’ve rounded up some high-low options to creating a home office. Hopefully, it’ll inspire some productivity during this time of self-isolation.

If you need a makeshift desk that doesn’t take up too much space, choose this adorable pink Bink Mobile Media Table from Robb & Stucky. The media table is conveniently mobile, so you can use your laptop from the sofa (we won’t judge you if it also holds your wine glass or stress snacks) or even temporarily outside, meaning those Miami work days by the pool are doable. Add the Mobile File Pedestal to store your files and paperwork, and you’re ready to roll like a boss. For true multi-tasking in one central spot, you could set up a computer on the Centro Multi-Functional Cabinet, store your printer, and use the drawers to keep everything in reach.

Pro tip: Great design can also be fully functional.

Addison House also has everything you need for a home office from stunning desks to chairs to shelving and bookcases, depending on how elaborate you want to get. The curved Island Desk doesn’t take up a lot of space, which is perfect for those dealing with tight spaces; and the glass Arkitre Desk freely adjusts and moves to your needs. Go for a chair that screams comfort and style with the enveloping Gamma Arm Chair (it’s a best seller); or the buttery leather and padded Canouan D Arm Chair in a sunny yellow hue.

Layer your desk with necessities like this Kate Spade stapler, made of color-blocked acrylic and gold foil, and Kate Spade gold tape dispenser, which will add some glamour to your workspace. Stay on schedule with this agate desk clock from Anthropologie; add some good vibes (and a thumbs up) with this Paddywax Impressions candle that smells of mint leaf and cardamom; and use this tropical flamingo tray as a catch-all for your office supplies.

While some accessories may not always be a necessity, they can add to your mental health. Head to Maison24.com for a bevy of fun office supplies from these uber-cool Tivoo Pixel Art Speakers, which function as a speaker, smart alarm, voice recorder, and even allows you a mental break to create and share pixel art. Or, if you want to show your love for the 305, grab their Miami specific line that includes these notebooks and note pads.

Those who want to splurge on desk accessories, Tiffany & Co. will add some luxury to your desk with a red heart paperweight, or this lovely set of Tiffany-blue notebooks. Hit up Louis Vuitton’s website for this Clémence Notebook MM Paris (at least you can transport yourself to Paris), or keep your work tasks on track with an LV agenda cover.

Check your inbox because it seems some stores are offering special deals and sales, and most offer curbside pick-up and of course, delivery.
