A well-designed home office helps you focus by day and switch off by evening. Here's how to make a workspace that looks good on video calls too.
Position the desk for light
Place your desk perpendicular to a window so natural light falls from the side, reducing glare on the screen and shadows on your work.
Invest in comfort
An ergonomic chair, a monitor at eye level and a keyboard at elbow height prevent fatigue. Comfort is decor too: you'll spend hours here.
Organise to stay focused
Visual clutter competes for attention.
- Use a pegboard or wall rail for supplies.
- Hide cables with clips and a cable tray under the desk.
- Keep one inbox tray for papers and clear it weekly.
Design your background
Your video-call backdrop says a lot. A styled bookshelf, a plant and one piece of art create a professional, personal look.
