While some might just need a laptop and chair to tackle their projects and tasks effectively, many will appreciate the comfort of a well-planned working setup in their home.
The home-office basics
Before diving into ambiance design and optional luxuries, it's fundamental to ensure the backbone of your workspace (and yours) is taken care of.

- A monitor or laptop stand you can raise to eye-level
- A keyboard and mouse
- Good lighting and air circulation
These are the bare essentials, but you can find more suggestions from the Deel team in this post.
