Layout and furniture

  1. Place the desk near a window for natural light and a view.
  2. Choose an upholstered chair that is supportive and good-looking.
  3. Use floating shelves for books and ceramics.
  4. Add closed storage to hide paperwork.

Colour and decor

  1. Pick a calm palette, such as beige, white and terracotta.
  2. Hang framed art at eye level behind the desk.
  3. Add plants to soften the room and boost mood.

Function

  1. Use a brass or ceramic task lamp.
  2. Hide cables in a tray under the desk.
  3. Keep a styled but clear desktop.

Tip: Set your screen at eye level and an arm’s length away to protect your neck and eyes, and choose a chair with proper lower-back support. Avoid overloading extension leads, keep cables out of walkways and fix tall shelves to the wall.
