Omg, I just paused at 15:19 to rearrange my office. I wish I was kidding... 😆

Desk chairs are so important, and so is having a desk at the correct height, especially if you are shorter or taller than average. I worked for years at a dining table much too high for me and had a lot of neck problems. As soon as I got a chair and desk at the right height (a guy came to my house and adjusted everything to my needs) things really improved.

I work from home 100% off the time, so a few years ago, I splurged on a Herman Miller Aeron Chair. Maybe that's one of the ones you consider ugly Valentina, but I honestly think it's gorgeous! It's quite minimalist, and I got mine in black with a chartreuse seat--my favorite color combination! I can adjust many aspects. And within a week of getting it, the neck pain I'd been developing resolved. This chair gives me joy every time I walk into my office! 😊

PLEASE do an Artist Studio workspace.
I have a TINY tall Art studio & damn, nobody ever shows how a materials Artist hands-on Artist can create a Space that doesn’t end up looking like Bacon’s lair of misery

Totally agree with other viewers that most of us have dual purpose offices (guest room or workout space, etc). Definitely creates a design struggle…like do I put the rug under the pullout sofa bed or under the desk chair etc?
And how in the world does one make workout equipment look high end?! It just totally cripples the final overall look of the room imo.

Everything is closed where I live, north of Austin due to the weather. The first thing I did this morning is checked to see if u posted. Ur so consistent with the videos. It’s like back in the day (before DVR/internet) to run home to catch ur favorite show. 💕

[bricksloth]

Yes art. Art goes everywhere. I have indian tapestries in my kitchen, metal wall art in my bathroom.

[melissaprond]

Finally! I watch you religiously and my office plans have been hold until I get your guidance! 😊

[Nickelini]

I currently have two home offices that need help, so this was great. I encourage people to hunt out unique pieces of art and not just buy the mass produced pieces that you see on Amazon, Pottery Barn, etc. Art is where you get to really inject your personality. Thrift stores can be great sources. I also like to collect art when I travel from street markets, museum shops (yes, mass produced too, but I look for things I've never seen at home), gift shops, etc. If you do go for something mass produced (because maybe you just like it), then it will look so much better if it's framed properly. Oh, and I just LOVE the Paris map

[swankyclass]

Love the video! Just wanted to say I absolutely hate cords anywhere. I actually take a pretty storage box that has openings on both sides, then I place the power strip in the box, plug everything in the strip and close the lid on the box. Now everything is hidden in plan “pretty” sight. Have a great day!

[HR-remr]

Yes to making an office feel more personal and warm.. that’s the plus side of working from home!

[sue]

I agree with you, Valentina....art is an investment. That's why I scout a lot around before buying an art item. I even assigned each of my children what to grab, in case of fire😊

[pia]

I recommend you taking a short trip to the Alpharetta Queen of Hearts, so many cool things for your office!

[sandralee]

Great video! This is one of the rare home office ideas/setups Ive seen without Flexispot standing desks and Herman Miller chairs!

[alicesmith]

Small spaces or rooms that have a dual purpose = I would love to hear your recommendations for addressing these spaces while they work as a home office.

[heidijones]

For Christmas I got one of the white metal work benches for a desk/sewing table etc. It has an adjustable height that operates manually with a handle on the front, also on wheels. It has been working out really well for me as it has two shallow height but wide/deep drawers Butcher block top and built to last, it was well under 300.00, fun colors. I thought it might look out of place in my room but it blends in just fine. Love this video!

I'm lucky enough to have a loft in my home and I'm so happy with it - it's an office but also a lounge area to enjoy the view of the river I've got. I've worked from home for 9 years this April and know how important, and fun, it is to make your work space beautiful!
One thing I'm struggling with is my boyfriend's computer chair. Unfortunately there's no other spot for his desk besides off to the side in our livingroom and his chair is one of those hideous leather marshmallow things and he's so picky about comfort. I've also recently adopted a cat who uses her claws on it so now it's looking absolutely worse for wear. If I can find a fabric one I can use the pilling shaver to get any pulls off but it's so hard to find a plush computer chair in fabric! At least in Canada. My whole place looks beautiful and well thought out and then there's his computer chair right in the middle of it all 😭😅

We just moved to a new place a few months ago. So far we only have 1 very interesting piece of art up in the dining area. The study/office room has furniture in but no art so far, instead for the time being I put up a really nice picture on my laptop which helps inspire me to work on my dissertation at the moment. Love from Malta

Love this video, Valentina. Storage and a good chair and are essential to an organized work space. I hate desk clutter and like everything in its place and I am fortunate to have a dedicated space for my home office. In addition to some original paintings (I love supporting local artists), there is a large framed bulletin board (Pottery Barn) above part of my desk. Whenever I was working on a project, it was a handy place to attach things for quick reference. I also had other items attached: a trinket from a special trip. some photographs, or other mementos. Just glancing up and seeing these things gave me pleasure, especially when Immersed in a difficult work project. I am now retired and there are definitely more memento type items (special things from my granddaughter, etc.) on my board. It is an everchanging collage of things I love. I had thought of removing the it when I retired, but I find that I really enjoy it. Not everyone's taste, I know, but I love it.

Just had a huge aha moment.... my home office is where I spend about 8 hours plus a day. I have painted it Gentlemen's Grey BM and I love the colour, I have personal art work, I have decent storage (but I probably could have planned more- but its ok lol) But the candle comment just struck me as something that I will start tomorrow.
