With the tighter measures in Singapore, most of us are back to working from home. And with everything going on in the world, it's important to set the mood right so you can be your most productive self. Elevate your study room with these cool ideas – from the bare essentials to things that would make life just slightly more exciting now.
RECOMMENDED: Time Out's guide to working from home and 8 cool ideas for the living room
From Castlery
First of all, if you're going to spend eight hours a day sitting down and be productive, you'll need a solid work setup. Being propped up on pillows may be nice for the days you're feeling under the weather – but it's not the most productive WFH arrangement. A working desk – even a basic one – will make all the difference. The Seb Desk ($699) from Castlery, made from solid timber, combines form and function.
From ErgoTune
Probably more important than the desk itself is a good office chair. After all, it helps you stay productive by allowing you to stay comfortable for longer periods of time – sans the backaches. The ErgoTune Classic ($399) punches above its weight, made of DuraWeave Hybrid Mesh, good lumbar support and a precision recline.
From The Nursery Singapore
Indoor plants can improve the air quality, have psychological benefits, and make your workspace more inspiring. Need new plant babies? One of the newest nurseries in town, The Nursery Singapore has everything you need – from highly coveted plants to beautiful minimalistic planters.
With Apple
Carrying around a laptop may be convenient when you're rushing from one meeting to another. But now that we're working from home, there's even more reason to upgrade to a desktop. Brighten up your life with the new iMac (from $1,849), which comes in a spectrum of seven vibrant colours.
With Hush
Did you know that certain scents can boost your productivity? Think rosemary, coffee, peppermint and jasmine. The Awakening Essential Oil Room Spray ($18) from Hush has a cool, herbaceous scent with fresh notes of citrus. Just a spritz can revitalise and awaken you.
