Perfect timing. Months later, I'm still working on having the proper home office. Years ago when I worked fulltime from home, I never cared about my office. I just worked there. Now, I want it to be a place I enjoy being in.

[@JulieKhuu]

Now that we spend so much time working from home, I find it essential to a healthier mental state 👍🏻☺️

[@viaconlon6740]

I should have watched this video as soon as it came out! When I first started WFH, I made just about every mistake you called out. I recently went through a job search this year. My initial interviews were conducted with me facing the wall (I didn't get any offers) but once I turned my desk around in a 'command' position facing the door, I nailed all interviews the following week and received 3 job offers. Julie, you sure know what you're talking about. Glad I found your series!

[@JulieKhuu]

That’s awesome Via! You’re so in tune with your space I love it!! 🙌🏻☺️

[@mildredmartinez3950]

This is the best WFH office I have seen in a year. You have no clue how many times I have witch from one place to another, finally donating everything in one of our spare room and use it as an office. I did what you said one thing at the time first buying a light weight white desk long enough to support monitor pc, then a tray for key boar and mouse. Now waithing on the chair..and of course shooping my home first for decor. Congratulations on this video.

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching M! You’re designing with function and intent prioritized, that’s a recipe for success 🙌🏻

[@brontesaurusrex7235]

This video helped me so much in a small, but important way when I moved classrooms before this school year. Turning my desk to face the door changed everything about how I feel in the space.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I plug in all my lamps, etc. into a power strip attached to the underside of my desk, then I just have the one cord going to the adjacent wall. It really neatens up my office and I no longer catch my feet or chair legs on all those annoying cords. The router and all that is in a basket secured underneath the other work table, in my L-shaped work area.

[@JulieKhuu]

The perfect tidy solution 🙌🏻

Brilliant suggestions - just got my husband to move his desk to a more "in command" position. He used to have it there anyway, then for some strange reason moved it to facing a wall where his back was to the door - ewwhh soooo not good.... Well sadly he lost his job at the beginning of year 2023, however fast forward to now - with his great skillset and experience, he got his new position plus I made sure he had some great crystals to hand, With your guidance, I persuaded him, this weekend, that he needed to move his desk position back to where it was which was in a good 'In Command Position' facing the door - let the good times roll!!! Thank you x

[@MissyEtendances]

Love your channel and all the help you're always giving, but just wanted to add: the feng shui rule to have the desk not against a wall is perfect for certain types of offices. For ex: we just designed our new home office, and just like our current one, we put an ultra long double desk (actually made from a kitchen countertop :-p) againt a wall: we're a couple of gamers working from home in gaming/cloud engineering: we need our wall mount screens (2 each) and multiples computers with the associated lighting bouncing of the wall behind our screens. And we like to look at each other screens, so sometimes functionnality has to come first and the ideal design second ;-) like you always say, we need to adapt to our way of living^^

[@JulieKhuu]

Function always comes first in my book Clodecker! You’re prioritizing your needs, the rest is a bonus 🙌🏻☺️

[@tslilbearshoppe9870]

I did the same thing and I love it. Two desks that are identical (chairs, lamps, computers) and one huge piece of art in between them. I have the rug and I plan to put a small conference table behind us so when you first come in you see that instead of the back of our chairs. The back of the desks are not pretty. Gotta do what ya gotta do

[@loyalcarlon]

While recently working late into the night, I noticed myself getting spooked for no reason. After some thought, I observed that I had inadvertently positioned my desk so that my back was facing the door. 😅 Flipping my desk around into a “command position,” where I could see the door, completely solved it. 😅 it works!

If you set the desk in the middle of the room, away from a wall - what do you do with all you wires (lights, computer, printer, etc.)

[@JulieKhuu]

Printer can stay behind you on a station/ credenza. If you have a lot of cables and wires, you can try to anchor one side of your desk on a wall and run the wires on the floor length of that wall Debbie. Check out my office makeover for how I achieved this look.

[@katkat5420]

Design never shows the way we really work. I have a desktop computer with three monitors, a phone, a calculator, and a printer. How do you plug all that stuff in, hide the chords and the back of the monitors with these gorgeous minimal desks in the middle of the room?

[@denisejewell2385]

@@katkat5420 I have three monitors as well on an L-shape. I have a hutch which I hate but I do need the shelving since my desk is in my living room and I don't have a bookshelf. I have my job and my business so I also have a small laptop that stays closed but it on the desk as well because it's feeding the monitors but I can't use it actually work off of it because it's so small my eyes hurt just trying. Then when I work my business I have one of those switches so that my all in one which is one of the 3 monitors but now my mouse and keyboard switch from the laptop to the all in one and one of the other monitors now works with the all in one. The only thing I have for pleasure is my coffee warmer. I have a ton of plugs and a printer that it on a small shelf next to my desk with the modem and router. This is my real world

[@VampirePurpl3]

If you can, buy a special designed desk. They can make specials holes/openings or put special plugs around the desk.

[@jonathandelossantos9332]

@@katkat5420 I agree, and I wish more designers would push back on the “power position” concept. Most of us aren’t meeting with clients at home and have little need to hide our screens from the doorway. It’s telling that most sample images of this concept have no computers or a small minimal laptop at best. I certainly don’t want to walk in and see the back of my monitor.

Hi Julie, Are you planning on doing another video on office design, Feng Shui, and the dreaded cord management? I work from home and converted my dining room into a home office. Currently using a dining table in the command position facing the entrance. I have a solid wall behind me and a big picture window to the left. I am looking to purchase a desk or dining room table similar to the one at timestamp 5:12 from Kelly Behun studio. Problem is I have two monitors, a central hug to plug everything in, a laptop, and then cords going to the outlets. Cord management with an open desk in command position is a big problem. I am watching a lot of videos on cord management to see how people hide their cords and it is a lot of work. Especially if you are trying to have a stylish office and incorporate Feng Shui. Would love to see a video on this problem and some of your cord management ideas that leaves your office a stylish, functional workspace. Thanks.

Hi Julie! I just found your channel and I’m so glad I did! I just moved into my new condo in October, and while I love decorations and interior design, I’m really no good at it. I’m trying to go for that modern farmhouse look, which is pretty easy considering it’s “ all the rage” right now. Reminds me of pumpkin spice lattes haha. For my office space, I’m a fifth grade teacher, so I’ve been working from home a lot lately. I also love to craft and make things, so I have a lot of “supplies,” like A LOT! I also have tons of text books and teachers manuals. My desk is currently under the window 🤦🏻‍♀️. I need help lol. I have no idea how to get my stuff in an aesthetically pleasing situation while also being functional. Also, can you put an area rug on top of a carpet? Would that be weird? Do you know of anyone that works in Las Vegas that could help a sister out? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Love your channel! So glad I found you! You’re a pleasure to watch.

[@JulieKhuu]

Yes you can place an area rug over carpet if it’s a low pile. Great way to define space and inject more color. I would source a bookshelf to store all the supplies. Check out the glam office makeover I did for more tips! Thank you for watching and happy new year! 🎆

I prefer Spring, Fall and Winter over the summer months. I would prefer to work from home than go to an office outside the home. I have learned to value my personal time.

Do what you love always John 🙌🏻☺️

[@manishjape3196]

I totally agree with you on the point. You really impressed me at the time 4:40 when you said it should be facing the door. This is so ridiculously awesome point that every video of home office set keep missing it. Finally it is about privacy and being in control of the space. I do not want to be ghosted from behind my back. So many other idiots keeps telling in their videos that use your wall for screen placement and hide the wires etc.

[@JulieKhuu]

You can run the wires against a single wall/ side of your desk and still be able to face the door 👍🏻 Thank you for watching Manish!

Really enjoyed this, I have a sitting area off my bedroom that has become my office, its only temporary because of covid. I've really had to add plants, organizing and make its own zone. Love your tips to make flow with the home, room. Looking forward to the holiday videos.

[@JulieKhuu]

It’s essentially the room I spend the most time in, so the home office has to be functional and inspiring! Thank you for watching Becky Ann! 🙏🏻☺️

Hi! Where did you get your office chair?? I LOVE leopard print!

[@JulieKhuu]

It’s bespoke ☺️

[@lorrainegatzke1048]

Hi Julie, you are at least half my age and yet you inspire me with every video. Thank you for prompting me to take a closer look and redefine my space. 🤗😘💖💖💖

[@JulieKhuu]

We all deserve a space we are truly inspired by ✨ Thank you for watching Lorraine! 🙏🏻☺️

[@labz_kay]

Enjoyed this video and have since moved my desk from the bedroom to the living room

[@JulieKhuu]

Great move, hope you get more restful sleep as a result! 👍🏻

[@naimahq8739]

You don’t seem to have a restriction of space, however a small corner of my living room will be utilized as a office. I will have a very clean and non clutter space but it’s CRUCIAL for me to have my whiteboard (on the wall). Do you have ANY TIPS on how to make it discreet and hide it when not used? Thank you in advance!

[@JulieKhuu]

You can look for a canvas art piece slightly larger than the whiteboard to affix right over it Naimah 👍🏻

[@nickstep817]

Really enjoyed your tips gave me the inspiration to totally redo my home office space!

[@JulieKhuu]

Awesome! 🙌🏻 Let me know how it goes Nick!

Great video - loved all the ideas and examples! I hope you will do one on how to decorate a windowless room (yeah...my home office has all the charm of a jail cell)

[@JulieKhuu]

I love this idea for a future video Nona! Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@nadinecius8747]

Great series! A good source for bargain office furniture are hotel liquidator places. I have gotten some excellent deals on good quality pieces.

[@JulieKhuu]

Yes, great tip Nadine! Especially now that offices are downsizing, so many good deals out there 👍🏻

[@TheDarster14]

Great tips

[@JulieKhuu]

Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️

[@kelseyjohnson4412]

Question, how to design an office with 3 computer monitors? Would you mount them on the wall? Help! Thank you.

[@JulieKhuu]

My husband has that setup and we still float his desk in space Kelsey. I prioritize the command position

[@jacquelineguy6231]

Thanks for the great home office tips. I could use your help. I am working from home now and need to redesign my den/gym space to accommodate work. finding it tough to do all three in one room.

[@JulieKhuu]

Think of the bare minimum needed for each zone and measure it out accordingly on a sketch of the room Jacqueline. Definitely doable if you create a designated area for each. No more, no less. If it’s still tight, something has to go or else you won’t find success in any of the three
