I've been working at home for years before the pandemic. My current space is approximately the same dimensions as yours. I have a floating desk I built with dimensional lumber and plywood. It's floating so I don't have to jockey my chair around legs. I trimmed it with pine boards for aesthetics and topped it with some decent mdf so I could write on it.
Its a single corner desk 24" deep that's along two walls. To one side is paperwork and typical office supplies. The other acts as my bench and lab. On the bench side i have an 18" floating shelf a few feet above the desk.
My monitors and keyboard are mounted on arms in the corner so I can switch between the two quickly.
I like Jay Carlson's approach. Think about your workflow, not just pros and cons.

- tcrenshaw 4y agoGreat write up. I'm thinking about building out a new work from home space and I'm definitely going to be copying some of your ideas.
- SenHeng 4y agoThat tip about workflow is gold. Currently I just work around my desk only but I've always wanted to have some standing space and a whiteboard like I used to have at at the office, as well as some pacing space for thinking. The latter is why I worry about the lack of space with a huge desk in the middle. Definitely food for thought. Thanks!
