1. A wonderfully sleek electric standing desk so you can sit and stand while you work — and look damn good going it. No bulky moving parts, just a few buttons that allow you to change the height of the desk in seconds. It also has three USB charging ports on the side.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I've been using the FlexiSpot Comhar EG8 standing desk for well over a year now, and I really can't recommend it enough if you're ready to invest in a high-quality standing desk. I have the white desk with a glass top, and it looks super modern and elegant in my living room. There's a thin drawer in the front — you won't be storing anything super thick in there, but it's great for putting papers, Post-its, and other small items out of the way.
The actual standing desk feature works like a charm — since it's just me using this desk, I only use two of the four height presets: one for my sitting position, and one for my standing position. An anti-collision feature is also built in, meaning the desk will stop moving if it detects an obstacle in its way. I've found this feature can be a little hit or miss, so it's best to keep the area clear and just be attentive as it moves up and down. The child lock is *particularly* handy — I don't have kids around, but it's easy to bump into the control panel and accidentally activate the desk if you don't have this lock turned on."
Promising review: "Super easy to assemble and the desk drawer is a game changer! Love that I can store random stuff underneath and that there are charging USB ports next to the settings too. So convenient- great for virtual teaching!" —Elizabeth Pak
Get it from Amazon for $399.99+ (available in two sizes five colors/styles).
2. Or a modern computer desk perfect for small spaces without totally giving up on the home office aesthetic you've been envisioning. Chip and Joanna would approve! Bonus: under the glass, there's a shelf you can use for your laptop, mouse, and keyboard when you're done working.
Promising review: "Honestly, I cannot recommend this product more! I love it! As a college student, I use this desk to work and study, and I love the storage space underneath. The glass top looks so modern (plus is easy to clean) and the storage underneath is such a practical component. The product was easy to assemble, but definitely a two-person job, as the glass top was fairly heavy. The desk feels sturdy and good quality, and I've used it for about 6 months now, with little to no noticeable wear. 10/10 recommend!" —Harry
Get it from Amazon for $214.99 (available in three desk sizes, three colors, and other furniture styles).
3. A trio of decorative wood arches to top off your bookshelf with a touch of style that'll quickly become the focal point of the room.

This stuff makes a rainbow migrate throughout the day from the floor to the wall and makes my long work day a lot more tolerable!

I often wear shorts (it's OK, I work at home LOL) and like the soft texture vs. the chair material on my legs. I try to rotate the furry square and shake it out daily since it's getting a LOT of use. I'll probably have to replace it in a year, but for this price, I don't mind!!! A+++++" —LAE

Promising review: "Hands down one of the best upgrades for a home office space. It allows you to light up your workspace without having to turn on all the lights in a room. I accent this with some mood lighting in my background and it's super nice. The base is heavy and keeps it on the top compared to other knock-off brands I've tried. My vote is if you want a monitor light bar go with the Benq but a monitor light bar is a must-have IMO" —Noodles
Get it from Amazon for $109+ (available in two styles).
And for a truly splurge-worthy option, BenQ's Screenbar Halo goes for $179 and comes with a smart wireless controller.

33. A vintage-inspired diffuser that won't take up a ton of space on your desk but will still allow you to 1. add some more decor and 2. get your essential oils fix. That's a win-win in my design book!
According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils.
Don't forget to grab some essential oils if you need 'em.
Promising review: "I love this diffuser. It's the perfect size for my desk. It's so quiet that it's basically become a source of soothing ambient noise for me in addition to whatever soothing fragrances I'm using. The light isn't too dim or too harsh. Since I can choose from many colors, I vary between what I choose to help me either relax or to increase my productivity. I'm strongly considering getting another one for my bedroom as well!" —Malkavia
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
34. Finally, an angled acrylic keyboard stand if your wrists are feeling the effects of typing all day (not speaking from experience or anything). This tilts your keyboard just a smidge without negatively affecting your impeccably clean office aesthetic.

Promising review: "The material is thick and sturdy. This tray has not moved or slid once during my workday. Love the look and the quality! I have a full-sized keyboard with number pad, it fits perfectly. You will have a lot of extra room on the sides if you don't have a full keyboard." —Traci
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in three colors).
