Best stylish home office chairs to upgrade your work from home set up

When it was announced back in March that offices everywhere were closing to prevent the further spread of Covid-19, we were completely unaware of how long we would be OOO.

Mugs were abandoned filled with tea, lunch deserted in the fridge and most importantly, the critical tech and office equipment left behind.

As the months dragged on, we had a collective belief that we would soon be returning, so what would be the point in forking out our hard-earned cash for a home set-up? How wrong we were.

The government announced the latest lockdown measures will keep people working from home for at least the next six months, so it’s officially worth investing in your situation - whether that’s finally getting a desk or treating your back to the kindness of an ergonomic chair.

Yet for the practical among us, we can’t help but wonder what will you do with it after? Let’s be frank, traditional desk chairs aren’t the most attractive to have in your carefully curated space and tend to be overly cumbersome. We may have found a solution.

We have trawled the Internet to find office desk chairs that will not only combat the back pain that has emerged since WFH, but will also fit seamlessly among your decor.

These are stylish office-to-accent pieces that will only further add to your space instead of becoming an eye-sore.

See our pick of the best - your spine will thank you for it.
