A home office is an essential workspace for many people working from home in the modern world but buying all the furniture you need can get expensive. You’ll need to ensure you’ve got everything for an effective work setup from storage solutions to a comfortable desk and chairs.
Furnishing your home office, however, doesn’t have to break the bank, and in this blog, we’ll give you some affordable desk solutions and budget office furniture recommendations so you can create a productive space whilst keeping costs low.
If you want to get started on your home office, here at Order Office Furniture we’ve got a stunning budget office furniture range to bring style to your space.
Affordable Desks
An office desk is arguably the most important piece of furniture in your office. It’s where both you and your work setup will sit for most of the day and as such many people believe you have to buy an expensive desk. This isn’t the case however and you can find budget office desks that meet all your working needs.
A multifunctional desk is brilliant if you’re wanting to save money on your setup. A desk with built-in storage will save pennies on purchasing additional furniture for all your books or equipment.
If you’re short on space, you could invest in a foldable desk that offers you a basic place to sit and work during the day that can then be folded away for more space when not in use. This is especially great if you don’t have a dedicated home office and you’re working in another room.
If desk surface area is a priority, you can purchase an affordable L-shaped desk that offers a large amount of desktop space for all your equipment. If you work in a technical field and need room for multiple monitors and peripherals, this Grey Oak Right Hand Corner Desk is a brilliant affordable desk that offers ample space. You can also purchase a Left Hand Corner version so you can pick the shape that best suits your office.

Cheap and Comfortable Office Chairs
If you’re working long hours sitting at your desk, it’s essential that you have an ergonomic desk setup and this is achieved with a comfortable office chair. Look for budget office chairs that are adjustable with additional support like lumbar and armrest padding.
This Teknik High Tech Mesh Back Chair is a brilliant piece of budget office furniture and the perfect chair for any home worker. It offers neck and head support, breathable mesh for posture support and adjustable arms and height. You can also purchase this model in blue so you can give your office a pop of colour without compromising on comfort.
Top Tip - If you want to scrap the chair altogether, you can purchase electric desks that adjust to your height and allow you to work standing up!
Seating or Meeting Area
If you work in a client-facing industry it might not be unusual for you to host meetings in your home office. As such, you’ll need a space for your clients, patients or other coworkers to sit. A small meeting table is a great inexpensive option that provides you with enough room for several people to sit down for a discussion without taking up too much space.
If you only hold occasional meetings in your office, you could also invest in a fold-out meeting table that can be stored away until you need it.

Savvy Storage Solutions
It’s very important to make sure you’ve got easy access as well as a suitable place to store everything you need to do your job. You’ll be happy to know that you can purchase some brilliant budget office furniture that acts as multipurpose storage for everything from books to trinkets.
An amazing cost-effective storage solution is shelves or floating shelves. Not only do they free up floor space, but you can also repurpose old wood or unused furniture for shelves, meaning you can get away with spending nothing!
Another cheap storage furniture option is storage cubes or cabinets. These can be placed under or beside your desk for easy access whilst ensuring the room isn’t too cluttered with furniture. A Three Drawer Pedestal like this gives you ample room for storing documents as well as a locked compartment for any valuables.
Wall Mounted Storage
If you’re looking for some small office furniture solutions the wall mounted furniture might just be the option for you. You can purchase some cheap resources like pegboards and hooks to mount on your office walls for storage and display purposes.
You can also invest in wall-mounted desks that give you more vertical storage space and free up the floor for movement. If you’ve got the technical know-how, you can also mount office cupboards onto the wall, just make sure you pick the right cupboard for the job.
