According to telecommuting statistics in 2018, there were 4.3 million remote workers in the USA, which made up 3.2% of the entire workforce. They also estimate that 22% of the workforce (36.2 million Americans) will work remotely for the foreseeable future.
It makes sense that it is nearly impossible to fall asleep and sleep well if you’re literally right next to your work computer. The best thing to do is take steps to ensure it doesn’t interfere with your healthy sleep. To keep work from encroaching too far into your sleep sanctuary, see if there's a way to set off your desk in an existing niche. Some people are even turning their walk-in closet into their workspace so they can literally close the door on it at night.
However you’re able to manage it, find a way to designate the two areas and hide your workspace at night. If you’re reading before bed as part of your nightly bedtime routine, this chair could meet both needs. Just keep in mind that a desk chair should not only look good but also support your lower back and keep your arms and hands in ergonomic alignment.
If you have too much to hide in the desk, stash surplus office supplies in a basket on a nearby shelf or in the closet.
Your new office is now your go-to place for taking calls, being on video meetings, answering emails, and actually getting work done. We offer several beautiful and functional options, like curtains made by Ann Gish, Intelligent Design, and Sun Smart.
Claim control over your time and set clear lines, both mentally and physically, between your personal and professional life by hiding your desk if possible. We hope these small bedroom office combo ideas help not only make your space more practical, but also allow you to get the sleep you need when the work day is over.
