This came in as I am sitting in my flex room. It will have a Murphy bed, office desk for 2, and cabinetry for my sewing space.

This came JUST as I'm hoeing out our den/office/storage area! Makes me even more excited to actually finish it so I can make this area functional.

Oooohhh! Katie, keep me updated. What style are you going for in that space?

Alternative tip: placing mirrors strategically can help even out lighting for video calls. For example: if you have your desk light on one side of your desk (and so one side of your face is more lit than the other) you can place a mirror across from that (not in the frame of the video call but on the side - they still shouldn't see it) so it can reflect that light onto the other side of your face. (This tip coming from a glasses wearer who can't put her light right in front of her face because of the glare 🤓😅)

I only have a futon, desk, and chair in my guest room/home office. No curtains or decor. Walls are taupe. I don’t like being in there so I guess I need to spruce it up lol!

You have the inspiration photo for my current office! It’s the all white office with the daybed and the black desk. My room turned out almost as good, except for my clunky desk chair. So white and calm and non-distracting.

LOVE this! Such good points to think about re the mirrors and glass frames. I always go back to the same principle with mirrors: what do you want to reflect/double/depict in that mirror? And a messy desk is not my answer to that question 😂
