Home Office Design Guide: Build a Productive Workspace
Ergonomics First
Monitor at eye level, elbows at 90 degrees, feet flat on floor. An adjustable chair and monitor arm are the most important investments.
Lighting for Screen Work
Place the desk perpendicular to windows (not facing them or with your back to them). Add a task lamp and bias lighting behind the monitor.
Video Call Background
The wall behind you is your professional backdrop. A bookshelf, plant, or styled accent wall all work. Avoid windows behind you (backlight) or messy rooms.
Acoustic Treatment
Soft furnishings absorb echo: bookshelves, curtains, rugs, and upholstered furniture. Acoustic panels are the nuclear option.
Style Recommendations
Scandinavian (clean, focused), Biophilic (stress-reducing), Industrial (creative), and Mid-Century Modern (stylish on camera) all work brilliantly.
