How to Style Your Home Office On a Budget
The home office is fast becoming a stable in most homes. With gorgeous office space trending on social media, many are often tempted to run straight out and drop a whole lot of money to achieve the same awesome look. But you don't need to spend a small fortune to create a beautiful and functional home office (with all the gorgeous office furniture trimmings). So for every student, mumpreneur or start-up, check out our top tips on styling a home office on a budget.
Plan the Space
The best way to keep an office space on budget is with planning. Plan out the space, the office furniture you will need and most importantly, where they will go. This will ensure you only buy what you actually need and will allow you to allocate more funds towards essential items such as desks, chairs and office storage.

Essentials Come First
When it comes to office furniture, consider the essential a good home office needs - a sturdy desk, a comfy chair, functional storage and good light (natural and secondary). With your budget in mind, tackle these essentials first and foremost so you can get to work without delay. The rest of the office furniture and décor can be added as you go.
