Our role in your creation of the perfect home office

Office1web (http://www.office1web.ie) has built a strong reputation as a source of business supplies, from paper, envelopes and labels to desks, seating and lockers. But with so many people now working from home rather than doing the usual commute, online stores like ours are getting more and more custom from freelancers, and less from the company bosses of old times.

Still, as extensive as our office supplies range is, you would hardly be well served by just buying any old thing and hoping for the best, before you have even ascertained your exact needs. After all, we all have those awkward items that we might have once bought in a rush, only to eventually realise that they are pretty much of no use to us. What you first need, then, is to make those big, scary decisions... such as what room to use, and how to make the best use of your available space.

Naturally, your home office needs to be somewhere that is free of distraction, but that also provides a pleasant working environment. It needs to be somewhere where literally the most interesting thing is the work that needs to be done! But that doesn’t mean that you aren’t justified in including just a few little luxuries to brighten up the space, such as an artwork on the wall. If you’re refurbishing a room from scratch, it helps to choose restful colours that will not distract you.

And as for what room exactly you should choose? Well, there are people out there doing everything from converting the loft to having an office built in their garden. Ultimately, money concerns may dictate that you simply make use of a modest study. Once you’ve chosen your space, though, the real fun begins. That’s because you’ll be able to select from a wide range of office furniture items as you start to create a home office space that is well-suited to many consecutive hours of focussed work.

Our desks range, for example, includes computer desks and rectangular desks of various different sizes, while we also offer office chairs of a certain minimum basic standard, along with the associated accessories. Add in a cupboard or two along with any extras like a bookcase, and you have the basics of your next home office. But make sure you’ve devised a good floor plan first, taking particular care to ensure that you can easily move around the office and reach for vital things without too frequently leaving your seat.

There’s a trend towards a relatively ‘paperless’ office these days, and a well-organised office will minimise clutter – but once you’ve established your exact needs, don’t be afraid to order that essential printer paper – after all, hardly any office can avoid it completely. Office1web (http://www.office1web.ie) really is your place to shop for items both essential and inessential for your home office as 2013 wears on.

Make your employees feel the love this February

What do you associate with February? If you’re anything like many office workers, your answer might be, “not much... other than Valentine’s Day”. And even that might not be an occasion that you look forward to with much relish, especially if you are single. After all, feeble attempts at flirtation at the office party last Christmas didn’t go down well, so you might say to yourself: what can the office supplies experts at Rebel Office Supplies (http://www.rebelofficesupplies.co.uk) do to alleviate the gloom?

Well, if you’re determined enough to look at the negative aspects of this kind of year, you’ll keep on seeing them...such as the continued drizzly weather, and the fact that the financial year is still a few months away from ending, which means that your prospective and current clients alike are yet to receive their full budgets for much of 2013. It is, however, perfectly possible to bring a rather more positive approach to February. For one thing, given that you are probably now gradually replenishing your own budget after the excesses of Christmas, now can be the perfect time to show your workers some love.

No, we aren’t referring to buying some flowers and chocolates, we’re suggesting that you do something rather more profound for your long-suffering employees who do so much to keep your office-based company going. Given the huge discounts on all manner of office furniture that we offer here at Rebel Office Supplies, you can start by buying them more comfortable chairs to sit on. An employee who has a comfortable and supportive seat will be a happier and almost certainly more productive employee – meaning that even a fairly sophisticated chair soon pays for itself.

However, there are so many more office items that significantly increase the convenience and ease of the working day. Are your workers constantly complaining about a lack of pens that actually work? Well in that case, it doesn’t take much to invest in a new set of ballpoint pens, or even water-based pens for use on flipcharts. Another thing that can greatly hamper the happiness and productivity of workers is a lack of organisation, which is why you may wish to invest in a new drywipe board or notice board. From envelopes to sticky notes, our office stationery range is definitely a broad one.

If you’re lucky enough in the present economic climate to have a bit more money to spend, then you may want to buy something a little more substantial, like a new printer or scanner. Or maybe you might want to add to your office any of a wide range of more miscellaneous but no less handy items, such as an air conditioning or heating system? They’re all available from our office suppliers here at Rebel Office Supplies (http://www.rebelofficesupplies.co.uk), and help to make your valued employees feel that bit more loved from 9 to 5.

Office hygiene: the war against germs and absenteeism!

Office hygiene is essential in the war against germs, not to mention the war against employee sick days! But you’ll need more than just a once a week visit from the cleaner and some kitchen towel in the office kitchen to deal effectively with hygiene in the office; you’ll need specific office products which help you keep the office really clean.

Did you know that a recent study found that the average office telephone is contaminated with up to 25,127 germs per square inch; desktops had almost 21,000 germs per square inch, the average keyboard has 3,295 germs per square inch and a computer mouse has 1,676 germs per square inch. That’s compared to the average toilet seat which was found to have only 49 germs per square inch! It’s enough to make you want to call in sick, and certainly could explain the speedy ecxhange of cold symptoms around the office.

Luckily there are office supplies that are specifically designed to clean office equipment such as computers and keyboards. For instance, Cyberclean cleaning wipes are the high-tech cleaning compound which are designed to get into all those nooks and crannies of your keyboard, mouse and telephone. Other office products which can just as easily be used in the home but are particularly powerful in the office include Mr Muscle Multi Surface Cleaner spray, which can be used on all of the office furniture and on kitchen surfaces.

Check out the huge range of office cleaning products in the Janitorial section of our Facilities department and win the germ warfare on the office front!

Some less common office furniture suggestions

When you’re shopping online for office furniture and related accessories, there’s certain advice that you’re probably sick of hearing. “Of course I won’t buy furniture of a blatant poor quality for my employees that will increase discomfort and breed resentment”, you might have muttered to yourself as you browsed the Rebel Office Supplies (http://www.rebelofficesupplies.co.uk) website. “And no, I won’t forget to buy that vital filing cabinet, or the desk for that new employee”.

There’s all the more reason, then, for us to point you in the direction of some of the lesser-visited corners of our furniture store...the places where you’ll find great pieces of furniture that you might not have thought of previously. The right office furniture plays just a big a role as the right stationery in keeping your employees productive, and your own workplace’s needs aren’t necessarily best served by the usual rectangular office desk and swivelling computer chair.

When you walk into the office on the morning, for example, where do you place your coat? Chances are that right now, you leave it hanging off the back of your chair, which isn’t exactly the professional image that you would like to project to any prospective client who pays a visit. So instead, why not invest in a wall hook strip? We offer one with a pleasing textured solid ash finish that exudes quality while also blending in with the rest of the office. Plus, solid ash is naturally very strong, so you won’t need to replace it any time soon.

It’s practical and often inexpensive office supplies like these that help to lift the spirits of workers, and there are more suggestions where that one came from. Why not, for example, invest in some ergonomic back support for your chair to make those long, late evenings beyond 5:30pm more bearable, or a new cupboard drawer or shelf to extend the amount of available storage space in your office and eradicate some of that distracting clutter? You might even find that you need an easily manoeuvrable office trolley for those frequently-accessed files that need to be moved on a regular basis from one office to another.

We have various other lesser-known office furniture items that can greatly enhance the functionality and capacity of your workplace storage, from shelf uprights and brackets to shelf extension bays and plastic storage containers with lids. But you could get just as much joy from our range of desks, which includes the likes of wave, radial and reception desks. Such desks can present the right image, to the right person, at the right time, while also potentially being perfect solutions when more space or a particular piece of equipment is required.

Our chairs range, meanwhile, encompasses the likes of visitor seating, kneeling chairs and canteen chairs in addition to some of the more predictable options. In short, however unique your requirements are, here at Rebel Office Supplies (http://www.rebelofficesupplies.co.uk), we are the office suppliers to cater for them.

Home Working Essentials

It’s winter out there. And with winter comes snow and with snow usually comes a virtual standstill across Britain’s road, rail and underground networks. From leaves on the line to the wrong type of rain, there always seems to be a problem when we’re commuting to and from work. Even when there’s no planned engineering works, accidents on the motorway or problems with public transport, commuting is hardly fun. Perhaps that’s the reason more and more people these days are working from home. If remote or flexible working is something you’re contemplating, you´ll need a home office and at Rebel Office Supplies (http://www.rebelofficesupplies.co.uk) we can help.

The likelihood is, you probably already have a laptop and a mobile so here’s a list of some of the other essentials no self-respecting home office should be without:

Desk and Chair

If you’re happy to work standing up whilst holding your laptop in one hand and your mobile in the other, you’re probably the sort of person who enjoys commuting and home working might not be for you! If you´re not, you´ll need a desk and a chair. Our office furniture range will supply you with just what you need.

Stationery

The paperless office never really caught on as any casual glance around the modern business will tell you. And it’s the same in the home office. You’re going to need a good supply of pads and paper as well as pens and highlighters, all of which can be found in our office stationery range.

Printer Supplies

You’re probably going to want a printer and whilst we don’t sell the printers themselves we do sell their essentials.  A look at our range of ink and toners will show you all you’ll need.

Files

Once you’ve printed off a few documents you’re going to need to put them somewhere and the longer you work from home the more the paperwork piles up. Luckily, at Rebel Office Supplies we have all the filing solutions you´ll need. Of course if the documents are confidential you may want to destroy them rather than file them and our shredders can help you do just that.

Accessories

There are a myriad of office accessories to choose from and you´ll need to decide what is right for you. If you’re producing presentations, for example, you may be interested in our binding machines. Maybe you´ll just need a stapler (don’t forget the staples!), a hole-punch and a calculator.

Whatever you choose at Rebel Office Supplies (http://www.rebelofficesupplies.co.uk), our range of office supplies has it covered. Home working is on the increase – no wonder when there’s no commuting and there’s no office politics!
