Both Good chair, daylight, tidy storage

Layout and furniture

  1. Place the desk near a window, side-on to reduce glare.
  2. Invest in an ergonomic chair before decor.
  3. Choose a desk sized to the work, with room for a monitor and notebook.

Cozy touches

  1. Add a reading chair with a throw for breaks.
  2. Layer warm lighting with a desk lamp and floor lamp.
  3. Bring in plants for calm and fresh air.

Chic touches

  1. Use a restrained palette of cream, taupe and black.
  2. Add brass or marble accents on desk accessories.
  3. Hide clutter in closed cabinets and lidded boxes.

Productivity boosters

  1. Create a cable-free desk with trays and clips.
  2. Add a pinboard or wall grid for planning.
  3. Personalise with art that inspires you.

Tip: Set your screen at eye level about an arm’s length away, keep your feet flat and elbows near 90 degrees, and take short breaks every hour. Avoid daisy-chaining power strips under the desk.
