Home office with limited space
Made a home office work with only 1.6 × 2 meters
With a kid on the way, we’ve had to rethink how we use the rooms in the house. I ended up giving up most of the available space in my office for other things, leaving me with a little 1.6 × 2 meter footprint for my actual workspace.
I managed to fit in a sit-stand desk, a comfortable chair, some bookshelves, and a few posters/decorations without making the space feel completely cramped. It’s obviously not the biggest home office, but I’m actually pretty happy with how it turned out.
The biggest challenge was finding the balance between keeping it functional and still making it feel like my space. The books and posters help a lot with that — otherwise it would just feel like a desk squeezed into a corner.
It’s definitely a downgrade in square meters, but an upgrade in motivation knowing I’m making room for the little one.
Curious what you guys think.
