Affordable smart home office ideas (and lower tech alternatives)

Encouraging, elevating desk setups

Changing position regularly between sitting and standing helps you move your body so that you feel and work better. A height adjustable desk gives you the possibility to switch things up. Some have electric buttons (and memory settings). Others use crank handles or gas springs. Your smart watch may notice the movement, too.

Effortless, mood-setting sound

Nothing lifts a Monday morning like a great playlist. With our SYMFONISK speakers that blend into your home office, you can stream music, podcasts and radio via Wi-Fi. Bluetooth speakers are easy to connect and use. Most Bluetooth speakers can be made portable, so you can bring that Friday feeling into your kitchen.

A spectrum of smart office lighting

Your lighting can’t write emails, but it can do more than you might expect. With smart bulbs and lighting strips, you can use an app to turn on/off , dim, switch from warm to cold light or set timers. Remote control solutions are possible, too. Or how about a lamp with wireless charging, a USB-C port or a touch dimmer?

Smart lamps and bulbs for every desk setup
