Redecorating the Home Office By Suzy Feine
Work, work, work. You spend many hours each week in your home office – better make that room livable. But why stop at livable? Why not transform that tiresome home office into an energized room! Take the monotony out of your daily grind by incorporating fine European furnishings into your office surroundings. Adding visual interest can spark creativity, increase productivity and reduce the monotony of an otherwise tedious workweek.
Home office furniture is compact and ready for work. It is designed to increase efficiency in a relatively small space. Desks do 
double-time and offer room for personal computers, printers, fax machines and office supplies. Ergonomically configured chairs provide back support and reduce slouching. Bookcases provide a home to office supplies, software manuals and family photos.
But don't stop there. Jazz up the standard desk, chair and bookcase configuration by adding wall-mounted CD racks, a rolling file cabinet and possibly a trendy magazine rack for break time.
European-designed office furniture and accessories make bold remarks about your lifestyle and your work style. Incorporating sleek lines and angular motion into desks, chairs, bookcases and small office accessories, European office products turn a ho-hum office into a well-decorated environment.
