Not all of us have the luxury of having windows available in our home offices. However, having a window nearby so you can peek out to the world momentarily while working is valuable to your mental health. Not only does it ward off the cabin fever but it also makes your workspace seem bigger than it is. Just ignore the messy cables.

Apart from having a nearby window to make your work more tolerable, the table can also give you a huge advantage in keeping things tidy and organized.

Windows at the back of the monitor eliminate the glare and the lamp is great for night shift work. Meanwhile, the vertical monitor can be digital assistant you’ve always wanted but didn’t know you had. It’s great for multitasking and organizing your extensive excel sheets or anything long and tiresome to look at on a horizontal monitor.

Three monitors are always better than one especially if you’re doing several tasks at once and need to keep track of many things simultaneously. The backlighting on the monitors also add some aesthetic flair and let’s not forget that awesome television at the top. It’s a great way to spend your breaks or break the ice.

The Tiny Project’s
Here’s something new and for those of you with scarce spaces in your houses. It comes from a tiny mobile house and is commonly used there as a compromise to comfort and space. It’s practically a foldaway table attached to the wall which you can clean up if you don’t need it. The downside is that desktop computers might not be viable.

The clean look and the super-tidy wiring to keep your OCD in check is truly spectacular. But what really sets up the piece here is the permanent and legless table. Since it can support less weight, the heavier and messier things tend to be placed at the bottom, making the surface area more minimalist and cleaner.

Plants. That’s what a lot of setups are missing. Having some greenery in your workspace ensures that you’re not the only thing alive at that table. Besides, keeping plants alive requires discipline and organization, learning both will help you in the long run. Just be careful with water, of course.

For most people, the best color that can provoke introspection and creative thoughts is white. It’s a blank slate and lets you imagine many things freely. That’s the idea in this design. Even the LED lights are also white and the glass table is lightly colored to reflect the white lighting. You would need an equally white wall for it but it’s worth it.

It does require some custom-made equipment but if you do manage to pull it off, then consider yourself bedridden for most of the day.
