Home office, built for a full day’s work
A desk corner or a full study, with shelving that holds the work and a chair you can sit in all day.
In short
A Home4U home office plan gives you a 70 cm deep desk, 90 cm behind the chair to stand up, shelves 35 cm deep for files, and a chair you can sit in all day.

Home office questions.
Still unsure? Send us the room and ask.
How deep should a home office desk be?
About 70 cm for a laptop and a notebook side by side; 60 cm is the minimum for a small corner.
Where should a desk go in a small room?
Side-on to the window, so the light is not behind the screen or in your eyes, with 90 cm behind the chair.
Can the office share the guest room?
Yes. A desk wall and a sofa bed or day bed let one room do both jobs; see the guest bedroom.
Send us the room as it is.
A floor plan, a phone photo, or the one piece you want to keep. We come back with a layout and a buying list.
