Set up a WFH ‘office’ for the long term

Here’s what you need to do so your home workspace will support your work — and won’t wreck your body — over the long term.

A long-term home office should ideally be a separate space in your home that is properly outfitted for work. 

Ideally, you would use a small room that can hold a desk and computer equipment and whose door can be shut for the essential need to separate work life from home life. 

Do it in just five steps

Your space needs a desk or table that is at work height. The industry standard is 29 inches from the floor to the top of the work surface.  

Proper work height

1

Get a large monitor (maybe two) for your home office — just as you would at the corporate office.  

2

Proper Monitor Height

If you can afford it, get an adjustable professional office chair like an Aeron, where you can set a precise fit for your body and workspace. 

3

A good chair

You can create your own desk with two sawhorse legs and simple plank of wood, or purchase a minimal wooden desk.

4

Good Lighting

50Mbps is the minimum speed to shoot for, and the more people using the internet at the same time, the more you want to get a higher-speed service. 

5

Good Internet

The Result

A well-rounded, minimal chic office space!

Voilá !
