My partner and I live in a loft together and our workspaces occupy different floors. His is upstairs so he gets less glare from the windows, whereas mine is on the lower floor to bask in all the sunlight.
We originally had our desks side-by-side downstairs, but we appreciate having separate spaces to avoid disturbing one another, especially during Zoom calls! Plus, if we summon each other for feedback, we're forced to take the stairs, which gives a much-needed boost to our daily step counts.
I live through my senses and strongly believe that our environment is a reflection of our mental and emotional state. Working from home can be quite isolating, so I've prioritised surrounding myself with things that make me happy. I've got lots of plants to emulate the outdoors and add more liveliness, prints from various favourite artists to give me a dose of inspiration, candles for when it gets too musty in the art cave, trinkets of cute things to spark some joy, longform essays and podcasts playing through my headphones to fulfil my extroverted needs, and shelves filled with rows of art books for when I'm seeking reference.
