I think a really popular video would be how to create a hybrid home office and guest bedroom. This is the most sought after thing for houses under a million in the UK.

I’d love to see a video on how to plan and design a dedicated home office room from scratch as most videos on YouTube just show to do incorporate it in a living room or so.

Omg I was just checking to see if you posted a new video 😅 love your channel ❤ can’t wait to use all your tips to decorate my apartment one day

[jinlu]

Yay! Another upload! :D Love your tips

Minimalist desk essential, but keep the “Knick knacks” and stationary etc nearby as being practical is important too

[Deb.-.]

I do like the white table nice and simple.

[Micha-bpom]

The problem is that ergonomical chairs are often not that nice. I picked the markus chair from Ikea. Fir me it was important to be comfortable and it suites the standing desk quite good

[BeeBee-kuym]

I really like that you provide links 👍

Uplift Desks are fantastic. a little on the high side but for $1200, it can't be beat

I have 2 sliding doors. They came with vertical blinds which I don’t like. I’d like something that won’t take up a lot of visual space, and simple. I do need privacy at night but during the day I open them for the sunlight. Thanks for your recommendation.

Thanks for the video! I'm wondering what would be considered too big of a desk for a space? I do art and design so a long desk is a dream, but I also don't want the room to feels too cramped, would be great to get any advice from you regarding that. Thank you!

I just got a new desk to replace the card table that was unstable. I have a cat. He uses my leather office chair as a scratching post (ignoring the scratching posts around the room). The new desk has two cubby holes which he loves to relax or hide in. My old desk had my cousin’s bargello quilt as a tablecloth. That quilt is now hung up on the wall behind my desk.

Thanks for the tips! Great as usual, much appreciated. I need to set up a hone office in my open plan living room/kitchen/dining space as I don't want it to contaminate my bedroom Restful vibes (one of those who do not like TV in room). I have a young son who plays xbox on TV. How do I delineate a work zone effectively? Thanks in advance!

We’re moving and i work at the dining table right now and have yoga mat laying permanently behind me haha cuz my omg

Hi Reynard :) Thank you for your informative, straight-to-the point videos

Could you give some advice on how to delimit (psychologically or otherwise) the home office from the bedroom, when one cannot place the office in any other room? Thank you!

[glassesjp]

I love your videos and your tips! This video was great as well. I would love to ask though. I live in the US and all your amazing furniture suggestions are Australian companies that don't ship out of Australia. It would be so helpful if you sometimes suggested furniture companies that ship all over. Im just being selfish but again love your stuff and the furniture you use. Thank you!

[mazjohansson]

Where is that pastel artwork above the desk from?? Thank you!

[Vlamp]

Hi Reynard, can you let me know the details of the chair at the right thumbnail? It is so beautiful

[vextf]

Hello Reynard, I loved the video as usual, but I have a problem. I'm a college student and I live with my parents, our apartment is very small, and for my studies I must incorporate a "Home Office" in my bedroom. What kind of suggestions do you have in this scenario? Maybe is this something worth of a video idea? 👀

For decent wifi coverage you could also use repeaters/mesh solutions if your home office ends up in the basement or the garden shed (yeah, I am married😊). There are a couple of brands out there that do just that (Asus, Google, Netgear, etc.).

For chairs, a possible (read cheaper) alternative to Herman Miller & consorts might be a good gaming chair. Sure they tend to look tacky, but your back will thank you if you spend 8 to 10 hours sitting on it everyday. Stand up desks are also a good option, Ikea has some manual ones that won't break the bank.
