Working from home is becoming the norm now, with many jobs offering a work from home option in Singapore. Most positions in Singapore provide a hybrid model, allowing you to choose 1 or 2 days of work from home per week. This is why having a well-equipped home office setup is crucial to ensure you are comfortable and efficient during your remote work hours. A cozy, clean setup with all the essentials is the key to being productive at home. If you’re looking to discover what you need for an excellent work-from-home setup, we have created a list of the best home office items that you can get for yourself!

Get a proper desk

And not just any desk. Your desk should have just the right size to fit your devices, notes, and stationaries to get it organized. Most importantly, the desk should be a standing desk. And here is why.

It is highly recommended to stand up after a prolonged duration of sitting. The recommended ratio is 1:1 or 3:1. This means for every 60 minutes of standing, you should stand up and stretch for 10 minutes. However, there are times when you are too busy for your eyes to leave the screen. This is where the standing desk comes in handy. A standing desk encourages a more upright posture, reducing the likelihood of slouching or hunching over. It enhances blood circulation and oxygen flow throughout the body. This increased circulation can lead to higher energy levels and greater alertness, helping you stay focused and engaged during your work hours. You might want to check out Omnidesk or Everdesk for the best standing desks. It could be difficult to get a standing desk while working from office, but you can definitely get it for your work from home working space!

Get a good chair

You’re going to be sitting on this very spot for hours daily, so it’s crucial not to overlook its importance. Choosing the right office chair is crucial for creating a comfortable and productive work environment, especially when working from home. Ultimately, it should provide good posture support, enhance comfort and blood circulation and high adjustability. This ensures that you will not suffer from back aches and long term impact to your back from long hours of sitting. 

Neck Support

Another home office must-have item is a neck support. Prolonged hours spent looking at a screen, especially in a fixed position, can contribute to a range of issues commonly referred to as “tech neck” or “computer neck.” The issues can range from stiff or neck pain, reduced mobility, forward head posture, shoulder tension, eye strain and headache. In more serious cases, it could even lead to chronic pain or permanent damage.

Hence, it is important to relieve your neck everyday while working and working from home. Luckily, SKG provide the solution for your neck pain. We highly recommend the SKG G7 Pro Smart Neck Massager to treat and relieve your neck muscles. It’s a modern smart neck massager that provides vibration, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENs) massage, and red light moxibustion that pierces 10mm deep into your muscle tissue. This is a great way to keep your neck healthy and relieve that pain.
