Home Office 2020

5 years ago

Please share your recent ideas and design for the Home Office of 2020. I’m in a process to redesign mine- need deep desk space (32”) to hold 2-3 27”( min ) monitors, another space for the monitor of the home security system, would like to ” hide” all networking equipment, no bookcases. Really difficult to achieve this one with ready to go furniture, so I will try to do it with some built in wall kitchen cabinets, butcher block as a desk top. If you are or working from home 8-10 hours evry day, ergonomics and functionality is must, but then I don’t like cold industrial office. Where is this middle ground of design and money spent to achieve a feeling of home, yet it will be your work space? like everything else , home office today doesn’t have to look heavy with bookcases with rarely any books, but some art pieces. I really have not seen a nice one with normal space for big monitors and where you sit.

    Thank you, do you happen to remember what is the depth of the desk. It is extremely nice! I like the hidden features. Not sure If I would rise to put my desktop in a closed space though.

    Hi @simona, can’t give you that specific info, but if you’d like to schedule a consultation, feel free to call my office.

    There are lots of ways to hide cables, either sending them down through the desktop, or collecting them together behind it -- I wouldn't really consider that a design constraint. What do you like in terms of layout? Desk against the wall? in the middle of the room? etc. Have you looked at photos here to find ideas?

    We just kept it simple. Here's a pic of our office set up.

    Five years ago we made a 12 ft butcher block desk with ikea Alexa drawers for not too much money and it's worked beautifully. It's enough for both of us to have a desktop and one blank side for grad school work or using a laptop when needed.

    We recently upgraded our office chairs (not shown in this older photo which was from April) and ordered two Secret Lab chairs. They are amazingly comfortable with excellent ergonomics. I have the Omega and my husband has the Titan XL since he's 6'6"

    All wires / cables are managed easily with adhesive clips on the back edge of the desk. Using a hole saw we made a small circular cut out in the back of the large lower set of drawers in order to store a large surge protector and run the cables through. Our printer/scanner is in a large closet connected via WiFi.

    The set up has worked great for us.

    Acm, Yes, I looked ideas and I will do something similar to Sarah. More likely will be wall to wall and Lshaped. I tried working in 25 in deep desk - not functional for me and DH. It has to be at least 30” deep. At some point I entertained the idea of stone desktop and quickly dismissed it because I prefer not to have divide the space with cabinets below for support and I have to work only wit the space I have. I ordered butcher blocks to build the l shape configuration. Even this one is a challenge because they are not readily available butcher blocks that do not cost an arm and a leg and can make 30-32” x 96” desktop. The ideas you showing are looking good but again I see shallow depth of desks, and non ergonomic chairs - I probably would not survive even a week at some of the configurations. The difficulties are to find the right materials and cabinets too. I’m sure a lot of people went thru this if they spent so much time working from home. The first month when all my colleagues were sent to work from home, everyone made some setup in kitchen table with kitchen chairs, a week later everyone that did this complained of back pain. Than it was a problem how to setup big monitors and be at comfortable distance.


    Sarah, how deep is your desk and where did you buy it?

  • 5 years ago

    @Simona Our butcher block is 12 feet long and 25 inches deep.

    If you called a few local stores that offer butcher block, you could probably request some info and quotes for 30 inches deep. I'd try calling some kitchen and bath stores, lumber stores, lumber and flooring, etc.

    Thank you Sarah! This where I run into problem to find at least 8 ft long by 30”+ and not to be custom order.

    Oh, my. I suppose if people want to cheat and buy a paper, it is better when it is poorly written. That way, cheaters don't prosper.
