If you're not used to it working from home can be an adjustment
and it can be especially tough but not impossible
if you don't have much extra space how can you
squeeze an inviting workstation into an already tight space.
Chances are there's a spot in plain sight just begging
to be transformed into your workstation.
Swap out an end table by the sofa or a night
stand by your bed with a small desk
remove visible distractions only the items
necessary for your work should be within arm's reach.
If you make video calls remember to also tidy up
the space behind you, getting rid of auditory distractions
can be harder.
This is where headphones come in handy.
Setting boundaries is especially important
if you live with other people.
Have a conversation with roommates children, your spouse,
or any other people in your household.
Come up with visual cues so they know
when it's safe to approach you and when it's
absolutely not OK to do so.
But be forgiving too in a small space your workstation just
might be in the path of other essential rooms in your house.
If you're going to be living at home with this workstation
every day you'll need to like it. Don't outfit your room
with boring office furniture.
Find a table that will blend in nicely
with the rest of your space you need
to be able to see your work so you can focus whether you
use a table lamp or a hanging ceiling lamp lighting is key.
You'll need storage to keep your space tidy.
The shelf along the wall can look great here
but a simple rolling cart works too.
Finally, a nice photograph or artwork
will go a long way towards making your workstation
pleasant and inviting.
