How to Decorate a Home Office

  1. Place the desk first

    Put the desk where daylight comes from the side, not behind the screen, and leave room to push the chair back.

  2. Choose the anchor pieces

    Spend on a comfortable, adjustable chair and a desk deep enough for your screen, ideally at about arm's length.

  3. Layer the lighting

    Combine overhead light with a desk lamp for task work, and add a lamp you can see on video calls to light your face.

  4. Size the rug to the chair

    If you use a rug, make it large enough that the chair stays on it when it rolls back, or use a low-pile rug that wheels can cross.

  5. Finish with storage

    Add closed storage for clutter, shelves for books and a few personal pieces so the room feels like more than a workstation.

Home Office Questions

How do I set up a small home office?

Use a wall-mounted or narrow desk, go vertical with shelves above it, choose a chair that tucks under, and keep cables managed so the space looks calm when you're done.

What is the best lighting for a home office?

Daylight from the side, plus an overhead light and a desk lamp for task work. Avoid a bright window directly behind your screen, which causes glare and eye strain.

How much does it cost to furnish a home office?

It depends on the size of the room, how many pieces you need, what you're keeping and the quality of materials. Set a budget before you shop and spend most of it on the pieces you use every day. With Spacejoy, you share your budget and your designer plans the home office within it.

Can a designer design my home office online?

Yes. You share photos and measurements of your home office and your style, and a Spacejoy designer plans around them. You get 3D designs of your room and a shoppable list. Packages are priced per room.
