ok so far add more stuff

Is it necessary that your desk be shoved against the wall? It’s almost like a kid sent to the corner as punishment for some misdeed.

I understand that you are videoconferencing a lot, but holy cow. What a depressing setup.

I would try to set my desk in the middle of the room with the windows at my back. It looks like you have nice window shades in place already to control glare. Or, face the windows with the desk in the middle of the room.

Honey, you need a real office desk, especially if you are trying to work from home with kids! Your set up is not functional. And I am pretty sure you can set up a background in zoom.

You are right, ShadyWillowFarm! Who knew??!!

Google “virtual zoom background.”

How is that not a desk? Looks like a standing desk to me.

Here are some of our office designs. Please note the desk doesn't have to be against the wall. However a wallpaper could make some of the space pop.

But when you desk is not against the wall, how do you deal with all the cords that have to go to the computer? I'd love to float mine, but so many cords.

@jnixon67 your electrician can add outlets in the floor so you don't have cords running between the wall and the desk.

If you have a larger desk,,put the short end against the wall close to an outlet.
