Why place a work desk in the living room?
Remote work was installed in our lives from one day to the next, but there are many companies that sign up for flexibility and offer the opportunity to work with a hybrid model that basically includes spending some working days at home. In reality, the change is such that the possibility of designing a home office arises.
To work comfortably, it is necessary to set up an area where a desk can be placed. This is going to be the dynamic center where the computer, files, documents, etc. can be placed. At the same time, it is necessary to point out that comfort must reign above all else; therefore, it is not necessary to combine the uses, that is, that it does not also become a dining room. When creating a work area at home, it is important that it be used exclusively for this purpose.
Workspace planning at home
Plan the work space slowly and when you are relaxed, so you will attend to your true needs. In the background, you can also apply personality and make a nice design for the telecommuting area in the living room. To do this, select a part that is spacious and with natural lighting; therefore, look for the space next to a window, the balcony or the terrace.
Remember that if you are right-handed, sunlight has to enter from the left; while, if you are left-handed, it will be just the opposite and thus you will avoid the shadow of your own body on the keyboard, the agenda or the documentation.
The work table must contain the minimum measurements to install the computer or laptop. It is usually 80 x 120 cm, to place the auxiliary lamp and a pencil holder. In addition, it is convenient that the desk has a shelf, better adjustable in height and to store office supplies and keep your work area tidy.
Other aspects to consider
It is recommended to complete the lighting of the teleworking area with a wall light or an extendable arm table lamp. In the same way, a warm light lamp can also be useful to better illuminate your work table.
As for the chair, it has to be adjustable and ergonomic to take care of the postural hygiene of the back. If you think it is necessary, install a footrest so that your knees make a 90º angle when you are sitting. The backs of the office chairs have to be soft, better in breathable textiles and collect the kidney area. In this way, a good work space is created at home for your physical and mental health.
If you already have the desk decorated, change the look and practice detachment. Get rid of some objects that have accompanied you in recent times. Incorporate some fetish object to attract harmony and good vibration in your small office: a bouquet of fresh flowers, a plant that someone very dear to you has given you, a photo of your favorite people or an aromatic candle with a scent reminiscent of your best regards.
