The desk

  1. Choose a sit-stand desk so you can change position through the day.
  2. Pick a wide top, at least 140 cm, to allow a second screen later.
  3. Mount monitors on arms to free the desk surface.
  4. Use a large desk mat to define the work zone.

Cable and tech

  1. Fit an under-desk cable tray for chargers and power.
  2. Add a docking station so a laptop connects with one cable.
  3. Use a cable spine to guide wires down a moving desk leg.
  4. Position a webcam at eye level for professional calls.

Storage and finishing

  1. Add a low credenza for printer, files and supplies.
  2. Keep a neutral, uncluttered backdrop for video meetings.
  3. Layer lighting with a desk lamp and soft front light.
  4. Plan modular storage that can expand as your work grows.

Tip: Set the screen top at or slightly below eye level and an arm’s length away, with elbows at about 90 degrees while typing. Check that power cables have enough slack for the full height range of a sit-stand desk, avoid overloading extension leads, and take short movement breaks every hour.
