Check out our handpicked collection of two-person workstation desks to create a gorgeous home office.
Juggling office and home together can become more challenging if shared spaces create conflict. As work from home becomes the new norm, designing a home office that helps you be your most productive self is essential. With a few adjustments, you and your partner can create the perfect atmosphere to work efficiently and come up with the best ideas. How? No, you don’t have to work in different parts of the house to stay friends. Read on to find our tips and tricks for the best two-person workstation desk.
Customise Your Space With A Two-Person Workstation Desk
When have you ever had carte blanche to create a customised workspace? If your answer is never, this is for you. To fashion your workstation from scratch is an opportunity like none other. Personalise your desk and surrounding areas with plants, postcards from dream destinations, cute desk decor pieces, snazzy figurines and quirky organizers to add an element of ‘you’ to the space. Channel your inner interior decorator and transform the most boring area of the home into the most interesting two-person workstation desk.
Remember The Main Goal Of A Computer Desk For Two Persons
The primary requirement of a home office is that it should be functional. Just good looks won’t cut the deal. With your new ‘office colleague’, you can experiment with different formats to make your two-person workstation desk appear stylish but also true to its primary purpose — to help you get the work done. To avoid distracting each other by sitting side by side, you can either sit on opposite ends of a long table or take a chair on the opposite side of the desk.
A Two-Person Desk That’s Not Just Another Merger
Modern spaces come with their own Waterloos — lack of space being the primary one. Often it is not feasible to carve out a separate area for work because the space is constrained due to limited size or if one is living with a larger family. The best solution is to collaborate with another room and create distinct workspaces there. Aim to keep the visual clutter to a minimum to offer a sense of openness. Often the media room is a great choice for such mergers. A DIY two-person desk could be your next weekend project to hit two birds with one stone — earn brownie points from your partner while creating a great coworking area.
Ally Your Two-Person Desk With The Dining Room
The dining room and the kitchen island both offer expansive table space. A word of caution — this idea works better with laptops than with chunky desktops. Each end of the dining table has the potential to be a customised two-person workstation desk. These areas provide enough occasions to be in the thick of things — the household’s everyday life — while allowing a prudent gap that discourages banal chitchat that being in close quarters can initiate.
Fitting A Two-Person Workstation Desk In Small Spaces
While small spaces force us to compromise, they can still be utilised to create distinct home offices. Opt for desks and chairs in lighter materials and clean-cut lines. Furniture with open bases gives an impression of lightness and visual relief. If you’re using different desks or chairs, go for those with a similar finish to make the space appear intentional and cohesive. The elements have to echo each other — be it the style, colour or make of the furniture. You could even use dining chairs that match to keep the symmetry going.
A Two-Person Desk For Co-Working And Smart Storage
To create an aura of order, generate ample storage opportunities by using modular and mobile file cabinets. Another smart way to create storage is by using open wall shelves and placing interesting objects or inspiring personal items and regular office paraphernalia.
When Hannibal remarked “Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam” (either I will find a way or make one), he captured the ethos perfectly when it comes to creating a two-person workstation desk. With surprising agility, a footstool, a chair, the couch, the bed, the dining table and other home furniture transform into office furniture in a work from home scenario. But creating a dedicated space where you work helps demarcate the already blurring boundaries between work and personal life.
