Draft excluders

Install on doors and windows to effectively keep external noise out of the home office.

Acoustic panels

Panels with acoustic wool inside reduce room reverberation; hybrid ones with holes disperse sound, and bass traps in corners reduce room rumble.

Thick carpets or rugs

Absorb sound, enhance office aesthetics, and serve as a stylish yet practical noise reduction solution.

Noise-cancelling headphones

Drown out distractions; playing white noise or ambient sounds while using them maximises focus.

White noise machines

Emit soundwaves that cancel out annoying noises, creating a more peaceful environment for work.

Double-glazed windows

Two layers of glass with a gap block outside noise effectively, ideal for busy streets or loud neighbourhoods.
