The choice of the desk
Before you start setting up the improvised home office, you should think about which desk will best suit the bedroom. It is important that the desk has enough space for the computer and work documents. The height of the desk is also an important factor. You should be able to sit comfortably and rest your arms on the desk at a 90-degree angle. At the same time, of course, the desk must fit into the bedroom in terms of size. In some circumstances, a standing desk is also a good choice here. Depending on how the room and furniture are organized, you may have to do some rearranging to make room.
The right place for the desk
The next step is then to find the right place for the desk. Ideally, the desk should not be right next to the bed to create a clear separation between the workplace and the relaxation zone. A place near the window, on the other hand, is ideal. This way, there is sufficient daylight for work and, at the same time, the view from the window can alleviate stress and have a relaxing effect. Furthermore, those who often work in the evening or early in the morning when it is dark must make sure that there is sufficient lighting to protect the eyes and work safely.
The design of the workspace
Once the desk is in place, it is a matter of designing the improvised workspace. Here, you should make sure that there is enough storage space for the working documents. Shelves or drawers, for example, are a good option and save space at the same time. Suitable lighting is also important to save your eyes. A desk lamp or indirect lighting can help. Additional equipment may also be required. For example, a printer or a telephone. Space must also be created for these items. If it is a temporary workstation that is to be dismantled after work or moved to another room, then it should be created in such a way that the utensils can be moved easily.
Summary and conclusion
If you want to integrate a desk in the bedroom for space reasons, there are a few important things to consider. For example, you need to choose a desk that fits the size of the room. At the same time, you need to see that it offers enough space for all work documents, but still does not restrict the space to the point that it can no longer be used for sleeping. Here, it may be a good idea to opt for a standing desk or look for an integrated solution where the desk can be tucked away in a cabinet, for example, or moved after work.
Having the right space and a good workspace design are equally important to being able to work productively. This includes lighting and equipment, among other things. Because of space constraints, planning is especially necessary here. It may also be necessary to rearrange so that everything fits. In any case, even when using the bedroom as a home office, a spatial separation between sleeping and working areas should be maintained as far as possible.
