Working from home can provide highly coveted comforts like privacy and holding meetings in your pajama pants. But is it possible to elevate your home office?
Consider the space that you will be in for most of your day: your desk. Where you are seated to your surrounding objects will either turn your home office into a sanctuary or a place you’ll end up dreading 5 days a week.
