(Featured image from Flip It)

You probably spend 40 hours (or more) a week working in a cube farm, but it doesn’t mean your work-space has to be sterile and soulless. We found a few things to improve your home sweet cubicle.

A Sit That Fits

For those of us who endure sitting for the majority of the day, a comfortable (and ergonomically sound) office chair is essential! Steelcase and Herman Miller are the best of the best for comfort and good looks. Here’s a list of the greatest chairs for 2015.

Put Your Feet Up

After picking out the world’s greatest chair, a foot rest is the next logical upgrade. Yanko Design makes a hammock for your feet. With adjustable rope, you can easily switch from work mode to relaxation mode.

Remind Me…

Don’t count solely on your memory to get your tasks done. These sticky notes fit perfectly at the bottom of your keyboard and will aid when your memory fails you. (Even if it is to pick up milk on your way home from work.)

Sometimes you’re hot, then you’re cold…then you’re hot, then you’re cold – this mini USB airplane fan will help you regulate the temperature in your personal space.

Personalize Your Days

Customize your desk with this Shutterfly calendar. These are a great way to show your coworkers that you’re human. Could it be you both love dogs, have children the same age, or like the same professional sports team…Did we just become best friends?!
