With so many people working from home now, it can be difficult to keep your workspace separate and organized. In spite of the way things appear to be returning to normal, millions of Americans say they’d like to keep working from home. You can take a deduction on your income taxes for a home office. There are a few restrictions. You must use the space exclusively for your work. You may even be able to take a portion of utility and phone bills.
When setting up your home office, you’ll need a desk, chair, computer, phone and maybe a filing cabinet. Though most people save everything digitally now, some professions still require actual paperwork. If you can’t afford fancy office furniture, then you may be able to pick up some items from a used furniture store. You can also select chairs or tables from around the house and make them work.
Remember to get up every couple of hours and stretch. Go outside and take a brief walk. Get some fresh air and sunshine. You’ll need a comfortable office chair. Even if you’re using household furniture, be sure it has a good, comfy cushion. Cushions can easily be replaced. Even cushion filling can be replaced with new filling to make it softer.
Old cushions can get lumpy. They may give off an offensive odor. Whether you replace the whole cushion or just the cushion filling, this can make lots of difference in the way you feel at the end of the day.
The Foam Factory has all types of chair cushions and cushion filling so you can enjoy sitting in a relaxing chair all day.
