Home Office Ergonomics and Functionality

Filed in archive home office tools on June 29, 2007

Neville Johnson, a furniture expert, shares five considerations that someone who would like a home office that works for you and your business:

1. A staggering 55 per cent of people said their office area causes aches and pains. This is often the result of buying furniture that is modular not bespoke, and therefore not ergonomically designed; thus the office area may not be suited to you. Neville Johnson work alongside clients to ensure that their home office is right for them, right down to the last inch.

2.1 in 5 people suffer from shoulder pains, sore necks and eye strains as a result of their work space. These types of strains are often the result of the computer screen being in the wrong position. This can be due to the fact that your desk is cluttered, leaving little room for your screen, resulting in it being too close to your face. Neville Johnson is recognised for maximising available office space with highly innovative designs.

3. 15 per cent of people complained of wrist ache, some resulting in repetitive strain injury (RSI). This again can be due to bad positioning at your desk.

4. When asked what would be at the top of the wish list when considering requirements for a home office, 74% of respondents opted for functionality. Whatever your main requirement, your demand can be met with bespoke furniture as it is designed to suit you; Neville Johnson furniture can also add value to the home and entice new buyers if you are in the process of selling your home.

5. Many people cannot relax and switch off as they are surrounded by clutter, reminders of their days work. A bespoke fitted home office can be designed to blend in perfectly with the rest of the home, providing storage and filing to suit the professional and personal requirements.
