With more people permanently working from home, the challenge is making the home office as functional as the central location while preserving the aesthetics of the living environment. One tool that helps with this is the designed chair mat.
Instead of looking like the big clear piece of plastic that protects the floors in the corporate setting, this chair mat has the same functionality but is designed to look like a rug. It can save the floor or carpet underneath while still allowing for rolling versatility with the chair. And if you do return to headquarters, the rug can add some character to your cubicle — a win-win no matter the location.
There is a reason those ugly clear plastic protectors were ubiquitous in many office settings — they work. Now you can have the protection and the appearance combined. What other tools have made an adaptation from office to home? Share your comments below.
