The Editors’ Cut: Home Office Upgrades for Smoother, Stress-Free Workdays – Remodelista
Start typing to search…
Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Since our early days, when Remodelista began around Julie’s kitchen table, our editors have reported in, for the most part, from home. Over the past two decades, we’ve learned a thing or two about creating an office that’s as design-forward and human-friendly as it is efficient—no fluorescent lighting in sight. Today we’re reporting in from our own remote-work outposts—in Mill Valley, California; Bend, Oregon; Portland, Maine; Cape Cod; the Bronx; and Brooklyn—with finds we love for making the workday just a little bit more enjoyable, whether you’re perching at a corner of your dining room table or have a separate room to spare.— The R/G Editors
Pretty Wall Calendar
Above: We’re suckers for a real old-school print calendar—nothing digital about it. This bright option from Wms and Co. is undated, so you can hang it up and get going whenever you please. Shop now.
Wool Chair Cushion
Above: The office chair becomes a little more comfy—and homey—with a cushion to sit on, like this merino wool option from Graf Lantz. (Bonus: It’s feline coworker approved.) Shop now.
Accoutrements for Afternoon Caffeine
Above L: An afternoon cup of tea (and maybe a cookie or two?) makes those post-lunch hours a little more tolerable. Annie’s eyeing Kinto’s delicate double-walled glass; the strainer and lid sets nearly within for all-in-one steeping. Shop now. Above R: And a pretty coaster to put it on, courtesy of Fog Linen (and Fan). Shop now.
Above: Annie’s not big on store-bought paperweights when a found rock does the job. The exception? These smooth stones, wrapped in bamboo to beguiling effect by Santa Fe-based Betsy Bauer Studio. Shop now.
Woven Wastebasket
Above: When it’s just papers and odds and ends you’re tossing, you can spring for a pretty wastebasket, like this one from Finnish maker Verso Designs. Shop now.
A Delightful Danish Pinboard
Above: Another on Margot’s wish list? These standout pinboards from Copenhagen-based Københavns Møbelsnedkeri, which look stellar even undressed. Shop now.
Book Holder
Above: San Diego-based Unfnshed makes solid birch plywood furnishings that pop together in a minute, no tools needed—which makes their tabletop book holder even more appealing. Use it to keep notebooks, reference books, and inspiration within easy reach. Shop now.
