The kids are going back to school next week—in person! Even though weekday mornings may get a tad crazier getting everyone out the door, parents are still thinking to themselves “hallelujah”. For the first time, in months, homes will feel a little emptier and, for the parent who is still working from home, that means getting some extra quiet time. And to celebrate a newly embraced post-pandemic back-to-school season, why not treat yourself to some home-office décor essentials that are suitable for any space-savvy, working environment. —Mia Germanski
