A 2×3 m home office that earns the name
Six square meters is a real office if the desk faces the window and storage goes vertical. The failure mode is a desk against the long wall: you get a corridor with a laptop in it.

Why this layout works
- 01The desk sits under the window: daylight lands on the work surface, not on the screen.
- 02The bookshelf goes tall (2 m) on the east wall: floor is the scarce resource here, height isn't.
- 03The chair has 65 cm of pull-back before the shelf line: sit, stand and roll without choreography.
- 04The lamp fills the corner opposite the window for after-dark work.
Clearances to keep
Rules of thumb this layout respects. Full dimensions guide
- 75 cm from the desk edge to the nearest obstacle behind the chair.
- 60 cm walkway from the door to the desk, kept clear of shelf overhang.
- The door swings against the west wall; nothing lives inside its 90 cm arc.
Things people ask
- Desk facing the window or the wall?
- Under the window with the screen perpendicular to it beats both: no glare, no video-call backlight, daylight on the desk. Facing a wall is the fallback in rooms without one.
- What's the minimum size for a home office?
- About 4.5-5 m² for a 120 cm desk, a chair with pull-back and one storage wall. Under that you're furnishing a nook, not a room, which can be fine: test it in the editor first.
- Does a second monitor fit on a 140 cm desk?
- Two 24-27 inch monitors fit on 140 cm; the constraint is depth. 70 cm keeps them at a healthy 50+ cm from your eyes.
