Christmas trees are magical and wonderful. I absolutely love this time of year and having my morning coffee gazing at the tree.

To me, Christmas trees are magical and wonderful. We decorate ours with an assortment of handmade ornaments made by our children, old ornaments passed down from family, and new things that catch our eye on our travels and that launch happy memories as we happen to gaze upon them.
The dogs were drawn by my husband. He does amazing work! Zoom in and check out the level of detail!
Happy 2nd day of Christmas!

Hope everyone is doing well. I have been making the most of every day and exploring different areas of my home to work. My husband has a lot more regular Zoom calls and he is using the home office daily. It has a door with a sign that lets the rest of us know when he's on a call so we can be a little quieter. I am writing from the dining room table. I have also done work from a lovely armchair, the love seat, the sofa, the coffee table and the table on the deck when the weather proves irresistible (not the case today - it's grey and definitely snuggle into a chair with a book weather).
Anyway, in case you too have been working in a nomadic manner or still haven't found your ideal work-at-home space I offer these tips.
1. Work surface height. Desks are usually designed to be 29" high. Dining tables are usually 30" high and countertops 36". It is important to keep your forearms parallel to the floor when you work to avoid strain on your back and shoulders. I move around depending on whether I am sketching, browsing for furnishings/materials or drafting on my computer.
2. Chair seat should be about 12" lower than your chosen work surface. Of course, I have short legs and I am only 5 foot tall but this rule of thumb is an interior design standard that works for most people. The main thing is to pay attention to your posture as you read this and see if you're comfortable, your hands, shoulders and back relaxed as you work. If not, explore other chairs in your house or considering ordering one for work if you're likely to use it going forward. This rule also works for children and the lower tables made specifically for the them.
3. Location. Access to natural light is so important for emotional well-being that I usually try to face a window as I work. Try working where you have views to the outside. If you're in a closet or basement (I've seen pictures of people seeking quiet areas resorting to these "offices") try taking breaks near a window if you cannot go outside. We are fortunate to have a desk in each bedroom so the kids can take their online classes without distracting each other. Even then, my 10th grader prefers to attend lectures from the sofa. Could be because it has great views of the backyard but I suspect it's the proximity to the kitchen that was the selling point. (they do say location, location, location!!)
I hope this post is helpful. Let me know if you have questions. I am late for my dining room workout!
Best regards,
Sonia
