For those that don’t live in a studio, how many have their work desk inside their bedroom? How many rooms do you have? Always wanted to keep it out of the room but starting to run out of space.

Spouse (who is a lawyer) and 2 kids, so everyone was on zooms all day every day. I converted a dresser to a standing desk in our bedroom and it’s been great. We have 5 bedrooms and plenty of space, but people get very annoyed when you take calls in public areas.

I have a 1 bedroom and have mine in the living room. I like to keep my bedroom very sparse and peaceful, makes for a better sleeping experience.

At the beginning of WFH I had my desk in my room. I began taking naps on my lunch break and no longer wanted to do that. To remain productive, I moved the desk to an extra room to keep work and serenity separate. I have 3 bedrooms.

In house with main lvl plus a bsmt. 5 bedrooms total; 3 upstairs (all used) and 2 downstairs (guest rooms). The living room and kitchen upstairs are too small to fit in my desk. I have plenty of space downstairs but it’s too dark and depressing to remain there for 8+ hrs in the day. I also get better signal upstairs.

BGC In my bedroom next to my bed.
