Home offices

Half of it is what
the camera sees.

A home office in 2026 is judged on video. You spend more hours here than in your living room, and a few hundred colleagues see the wall behind your head every week — it deserves more than a folding table in the spare bay.

The frame

Four directions,
four decisions.

Behind you, in front, above and around — each one is a choice the camera makes for you if you don't. A window behind turns you into a silhouette; a downlight overhead casts shadows under your eyes. We plan the room around what the call actually sees.

The specification

Six things a working
room actually needs.

A home office is judged twice — once by the camera and once by your back at 6pm. These are the six things a room you spend two thousand hours in actually needs, before a single plant gets styled.

01

Light from the side

Behind the shelf

The half the camera
never has to see.

01

Ventilation

Air for a closed working door

A small room with the door shut and a body in it eight hours goes warm and stale. A vent or a quiet fan keeps the afternoon from turning soporific.

02

Shelf load

Fixed for a wall of books

A 600mm shelf full of files and books is a serious weight. We anchor into solid backing, so the styled wall behind you never becomes the wall that came down.

03

Screen glare

Daylight kept off the monitor

Great side light for your face can be a mirror on your screen. We angle the desk and add a blind so the window lights you, not a glare across the display.

04

Heat & kit

Room for the machine to breathe

A tower, a dock and two monitors throw off real heat in a small room. We leave the gear air and a route for it, so the fans aren't screaming by 3pm.

05

Screen height

Monitor at your eye line

A display too low is a sore neck by year's end. We plan the arm or riser so the top of the screen sits level with your eyes — 2,000 hours forgives nothing.

06

Backup power

A point for the UPS

This is Bangalore; the power will blink mid-call. One circuit for a UPS keeps the router and the laptop alive through it, so a cut isn't a dropped meeting.

Choose your set-up

Three ways to work
from home.

01

Full room

A door that shuts, a styled wall behind you and a desk sized to the work — the setup that survives two thousand hours and a hundred video calls.

Full-height cabinet doors closed flush, concealing a fold-away workstation
02

Cabinet that closes away

A whole workstation behind shutters in a living or bedroom wall — desk, power and cables fold shut at 6pm so the room stops being an office.

03

Corner desk

A compact run built into a quiet corner, lit from the side and wired properly — the least floor for a spot that still reads as a room on camera.

On call

The room is only
as good as the frame.

Every weekday the same two square metres go live to a few hundred people. The light, the wall behind your head and the quiet all get designed for the camera first — because that's the half of the room everyone else actually sees.

The camera

Four directions decide
how you land on the call.

Behind you a styled shelf, in front the light, nothing directly overhead, something soft on one wall. Four small decisions that separate a room that looks intentional on video from a laptop propped on a dining table.

  • A 600mm shelf behind you — a room, not a bed
  • Light from the window or a lamp at 45°, never behind
  • Nothing directly overhead casting eye shadows
  • One soft surface to kill the stairwell echo

The unglamorous half

The specification
nobody photographs.

A good office is mostly the boring parts done right — desk depth, power where your hands are, cables out of sight. Get the spec wrong and no amount of styling behind you saves the room. We buy the room; you buy the chair.

01

Desk 1200 × 600mm so nothing lives on your lap

02

Four sockets and two USB-C at desk height

03

A grommet and under-desk tray for the cables

04

Your chair, not ours — you're in it 2,000 hours a year

Questions

Asked often

Light from the side or front, never behind. A shallow styled shelf behind you at 600mm depth reads as a room. And don't sit directly under a downlight — it puts shadows under your eyes.
