Agree with HRM1. I can also fit a 2X3 cube shelf under my desk for storage, which is great for the clutter.
If you really want to level up, get a walking pad treadmill under your desk and a balance board.

Slightly dated picture but very similar specs to your office, now have bookshelves behind the desk :)

Same as hr1 + walking pad. Looking to add beanbag chair (?) next for a casual workspace. This all has taken 2.5 years to pull off. I’d prioritize in this order 1) dual monitors 2) standing desk 3) nice office chair 4) desktop organizer that works for you 5) walking pad

As someone who loves a whiteboard, I went with an acrylic board for my home office. Painted the background with a design then mounted the acrylic to give it an art piece look. Everyone who sees it on camera comments on how great it looks while still being useful.

As others mentioned, dual or triple monitors, standing desk and specific standing mat. Walking desks are great but you need to be committed to using it long term- and have the ability to use it as well. Too many meetings can really dig into the wall time for me!

Not a great photo, but it’s 6’x3’. I’m shifting office and workout equipment around at the moment so it’s not being utilized well. I also put fairy lights around the sides for when life calls for it!

Adding that a good chair that fits you is most important of all unless you’re standing the whole time.

We had an interior designer help us. Do you want it to be exclusively an office or also a guest room?

Mine is in my living room which we use for other things, too. Yes a comfortable sitting area and a WaterRower that stands against the wall. I have a writer’s desk with a second monitor on the ledge and all of my work stuff can fit into the drawers if I want it to. It’s against a wall so it doesn’t highlight that it’s an office when you walk down the hall.

My husband’s office is in the dining room, and it’s only his office. He has a standing desk with four monitors. Instead of a chair, he has an ergonomic standing mat. The desk is positioned so you can’t see it from the hallway or kitchen. There’s a high top table with a couple of chairs behind where he stands and a small book case.

Add a rug that gives your room some personality and other furniture/decor over time that highlights the room as the space you want it to be. Have fun setting up your space!

Thank you for some ideas! Would love the space to be a hybrid guest room as well so I have some pllaning to do!

Two 42” monitors flanking a portrait 24” monitor. Then, have a KVM switch that switches all accessories between my two computers at the click of a button.

The 24” monitor is perfect for outlook, music and messaging (slack, teams, etc).
