Executive Office Furniture: 7 Must-Have Pieces to Furnish Your Space

Create an inviting workspace

When you’re part of the executive team, every day brings new challenges. Meeting your business goals while keeping employee morale high is a constant balancing act. Shopping for corporate office furniture shouldn’t be another stressful task on your to-do list.

At Walmart Business, we help business executives work smarter, not harder. Our selection of executive office furniture has everything you need to create a comfortable workspace for you and your colleagues. Here are the seven must-haves for any executive space, as well as options that suit different styles and preferences.

7 Executive Office Furniture Staples

1. A desk that commands attention

Think of your desk as the centerpiece of your office. You’ll be spending a lot of time there, so you need something that suits your work style. A sleek, minimalist desk with plenty of storage space adds a sophisticated vibe to the room, though more modern designs can be great conversation starters.

If you need more room for extra monitors—or just prefer more surface space—L-shaped and U-shaped desks are great options for productivity. Just remember to check the dimensions to ensure it fits neatly in your space.

2. Comfortable seating

The right desk deserves the right chair. Comfort is key, so be sure to prioritize lumbar support. If sleek black leather isn’t your preference, look for mesh-backed chairs—some even have a range of color options to suit your tastes.

If the office is big enough, you might want to add a couch. A bold leather futon or stylish loveseat can help make your office more welcoming, and you’ll appreciate having a space to put your feet up when you need a break from your desk.

3. A space to meet

If you’ll be holding regular meetings in your office, consider a conference table so your colleagues and direct reports don’t have to crowd around your desk while you hash out the meeting agenda. It doesn’t have to be huge; even a smaller six-person table gives everyone a place to sit comfortably.

4. Decor to add personality

Whatever your title, you’re also an individual. Don’t be afraid to complement your professional office furniture with thoughtful decor that adds a personal touch to the room. If you have wooden floors, area rugs bring color and warmth to your space. Add a few framed photos of friends, family and memorable moments to brighten up your day. Round out the look with some art to make those white walls a little more inviting.

5. Smart technology

No office is complete without a computer. If your company has already provided one, think about the additional technology you’ll need to be your most productive. An extra monitor or two provides more digital real estate, which is especially important if you’re working off a smaller laptop screen. You’ll also want a reliable webcam for calls with remote team members.

6. A touch of green

Breathe some life into your workspace with a few strategically placed plants. Look for options that are low-maintenance and will thrive with whatever amount of natural light you have available. This list is a great place to start.

7. Storage and shelving

Finish off your corporate furniture shopping list with some storage space. If you’re keeping years’ worth of physical documents in your office, you’ll need a file cabinet—you can go for the classic metallic style or one that’s more modern.

Consider additional shelving to display your decor, plants and photographs. You can even combine the filing cabinet and shelving into one for a space-saving solution.
