How big does a home office need to be?

A working corner of 3–4 m² is enough for most people. More important than area is light, ergonomics, and being able to close off work when the day ends.

How do I hide cables and charger bricks?

Use a cable box under or behind the desk, run cable channels along the desk legs, and gather every adapter in one place instead of leaving them visible on the floor.

Can I have a home office in the living room or bedroom?

Yes, but mark the zone visually with a rug, shelf or screen. Test in Interiørlab how the zones can be separated without renovating.

Home office styling – a calm workspace at home

A good home office balances calm, light and order. Interiørlab helps you see how the room can look before you buy a desk, chair or shelving.

A home office has to work all day. Ergonomics, daylight and enough storage matter more than trendy décor.

Hide cables, power adapters and charger bricks in a cable box or behind the desk – visible cable clutter steals calm from the room.

Test how the office looks in different styles before you order furniture – it's cheaper to make mistakes digitally.
