なぜうまくいくのか
Most home offices evolved from temporary pandemic setups into permanent spaces without intentional design. Common problems include: a desk facing the wall (creating a claustrophobic feeling during long work hours), inadequate lighting that causes eye strain, a chaotic backdrop visible in video calls, cable management that never happened, and an ergonomic chair that sacrifices aesthetics entirely. Research shows that workspace aesthetics directly correlate with productivity and job satisfaction. A home office makeover addresses both function and beauty, because you deserve both during the eight-plus hours you spend there daily.
このスタイルを実現する方法
- 1
Position the desk for optimal natural light and ergonomics
- 2
Invest in a proper ergonomic chair — this is not where to save money
- 3
Install task lighting with adjustable color temperature
- 4
Add shelving and closed storage to eliminate desk clutter
- 5
Route all cables through management systems under the desk
- 6
Style the wall behind you as a video call backdrop
Position your desk perpendicular to the window rather than facing it — you get natural light without screen glare and a better video call backdrop.

よくある質問
What makes a home office look professional on video calls?
A curated bookshelf or clean accent wall behind you, good lighting from the front (facing a window or using a ring light), and minimal visible clutter. Avoid backlit windows (you will appear as a silhouette) and busy backgrounds. A single plant and a few books create a polished, intentional backdrop.
How do I create a home office in a small space?
A wall-mounted floating desk uses zero floor space. A closet conversion (remove doors, add a desk shelf and lighting) creates a dedicated office that closes when not in use. Even a 36-inch-wide nook can function as a home office with the right compact desk and wall-mounted storage.
What is the best desk position for a home office?
Perpendicular to a window is ideal — you get natural light without screen glare. Facing the room (back to the wall) is psychologically comfortable and creates a good video call backdrop. Avoid facing a blank wall for long hours, which increases fatigue.
