Would love some ideas and suggestions on where you all WFH.
New temporary WFH job starts in a few weeks. Because it's temp and not too well paid, I don't want to spend loads on desk, chair etc. However, I'm struggling with where to work in our quite full house. I will need laptop, notebook and possibly separate keyboard, and a quiet space as I'll mainly be minuting meetings.
DH WFH mainly, in the study and he works in HR so he really needs an undisturbed space for meetings and calls.
In lockdown I worked at the kitchen table, hated having to clear everything up every evening, I am the very hungry caterpillar when food is so close, and DH invariably came in for a cup of tea the moment anyone phoned me, but I could do this again. It seems the obvious answer really.
We have a 100cm wide space in the sitting room where I could squeeze in a narrow desk. The IKEA ones would fit but look super flimsy. This is also the kids playroom so would have to work on keeping it tidy (toys tidy in day, my stuff away in evening), and if DH is looking after the kids I would have to move into his office. They are nursery age ATM so will be out for my full working day.
Upstairs we have 2DC rooms and our room, all quite small and full of furniture and no space bigger than 50cm wide. Hall and stairs are literally just a passageway. Conservatory and utility room are unheated.
Overall the house just feels really full already and I don't know where to put myself! I have been decluttering like mad the last year which has made a huge difference, but creating a whole workspace through decluttering alone would be a tall order. What I need is a desk that turns into a cot or a sofa!
