Designing a Home Office You’ll Want to Use

Position the desk so daylight comes from the side, not behind your screen or directly in front of you. Add a task lamp for evenings.

Invest in an adjustable chair before an impressive desk. Your screen should sit at about eye level and an arm’s length away.

If the office shares a room, plan joinery that closes at the end of the day. Work disappears, and the room returns to its main purpose.
