  • COMMON DESIGN MISTAKES | Home Office Design Mistakes (PLUS How to Fix Them!)
    I started working from home over 11 years ago when I began my design business. While I made my share of mistakes with my work from home setup along the way, I began to become very adept at carving out a dedicated studio space; one where I can maximize productivity and efficiency while staying at home. For myself and my team, I’ve learned how to creatively solve my issues with space, ergonomics, and work-life balance and I wanted to share my top tips on the common mistakes I see made and how to effectively solve them.
    My goal for this video is to help you design a home office space that is comfortable, energizing, elevated and uplifting.

    Perfect timing. Months later, I'm still working on having the proper home office. Years ago when I worked fulltime from home, I never cared about my office. I just worked there. Now, I want it to be a place I enjoy being in.

    I should have watched this video as soon as it came out! When I first started WFH, I made just about every mistake you called out. I recently went through a job search this year. My initial interviews were conducted with me facing the wall (I didn't get any offers) but once I turned my desk around in a 'command' position facing the door, I nailed all interviews the following week and received 3 job offers. Julie, you sure know what you're talking about. Glad I found your series!

    This was a great topic for these days, when working from home has become so widespread. I've been working from home for several years and I absolutely love it! This winter I will give my home office a face-lift with fresh paint, some new art pieces and maybe even change up the color scheme, just a tad.

    I plug in all my lamps, etc. into a power strip attached to the underside of my desk, then I just have the one cord going to the adjacent wall. It really neatens up my office and I no longer catch my feet or chair legs on all those annoying cords. The router and all that is in a basket secured underneath the other work table, in my L-shaped work area.

    This is the best WFH office I have seen in a year. You have no clue how many times I have witch from one place to another, finally donating everything in one of our spare room and use it as an office. I did what you said one thing at the time first buying a light weight white desk long enough to support monitor pc, then a tray for key boar and mouse. Now waithing on the chair..and of course shooping my home first for decor. Congratulations on this video.

    My office is getting better even though I've worked from home pre-covid. It's never felt "right" though. After watching this I spotted SEVERAL things that I instantly knew would make me feel better if I just shuffled the furniture and added some inexpensive touches. Thank you! This was very straight forward.

    Brilliant suggestions - just got my husband to move his desk to a more "in command" position. He used to have it there anyway, then for some strange reason moved it to facing a wall where his back was to the door - ewwhh soooo not good.... Well sadly he lost his job at the beginning of year 2023, however fast forward to now - with his great skillset and experience, he got his new position plus I made sure he had some great crystals to hand, With your guidance, I persuaded him, this weekend, that he needed to move his desk position back to where it was which was in a good 'In Command Position' facing the door - let the good times roll!!!

    I totally agree with you on the point.
    You really impressed me at the time 4:40 when you said it should be facing the door. This is so ridiculously awesome point that every video of home office set keep missing it.
    Finally it is about privacy and being in control of the space. I do not want to be ghosted from behind my back. So many other idiots keeps telling in their videos that use your wall for screen placement and hide the wires etc.

    • @JulieKhuu

    Great video! How do you address rug placement in an office? Does the entire desk need to be on the rug, or just a portion? How about the rolling chair - does it need to be entirely on the rug? And is it similar to dining room allowances, where you need 3 feet of clearance to roll the chair back?

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Yes on all counts 👍🏻 Rug should fit entire desk, chair, with clearance to roll back

    • @JulieKhuu

    Hi Julie! I just found your channel and I’m so glad I did! I just moved into my new condo in October, and while I love decorations and interior design, I’m really no good at it. I’m trying to go for that modern farmhouse look, which is pretty easy considering it’s “ all the rage” right now. Reminds me of pumpkin spice lattes haha.
    For my office space, I’m a fifth grade teacher, so I’ve been working from home a lot lately. I also love to craft and make things, so I have a lot of “supplies,” like A LOT! I also have tons of text books and teachers manuals. My desk is currently under the window 🤦🏻‍♀️. I need help lol. I have no idea how to get my stuff in an aesthetically pleasing situation while also being functional. Also, can you put an area rug on top of a carpet? Would that be weird? Do you know of anyone that works in Las Vegas that could help a sister out? 🙋🏻‍♀️
    Love your channel! So glad I found you! You’re a pleasure to watch.

    • @JulieKhuu
      @JulieKhuu  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes you can place an area rug over carpet if it’s a low pile. Great way to define space and inject more color. I would source a bookshelf to store all the supplies. Check out the glam office makeover I did for more tips! Thank you for watching and happy new year! 🎆

    It took me years to finally come up with a perfect home office. In fact, two offices, one for each of two major purposes/tasks. I even installed French doors opening onto a three-season porch to bring in more natural light and setting up a reading/study lounging area on the porch.

    While recently working late into the night, I noticed myself getting spooked for no reason.
    After some thought, I observed that I had inadvertently positioned my desk so that my back was facing the door. 😅
    Flipping my desk around into a “command position,” where I could see the door, completely solved it. 😅 it works!

    So helpful!! Especially now that I work from home due to COVID. I was wondering if you have any Videos that help with the basics of design. I recently moved into a house (rental) for the first time and I have no clue how of where to start selecting furniture and decor. It’s harder than I expected! I feel overwhelmed. Any other videos for clueless beginners like me would be appreciated lol.

    Love love your channel! Few questions that perhaps you could make videos out of it:-
    1. How to brighten up dark spaces in living room/bedroom/dining room?
    2. How to fix pilar right in the center of the living room? which is a bad fengshui
    3. How to increase the height of the ceiling visually?
    4. How to open up spaces if those walls are part of the structure of the house?
    5. How to construct an indoor garden?
    6. How to incorporate dark colors in tranditional Chinese family home?

    Thannks for the video. I am thinking about putting my desk in the center of the room and dont want the desk to be too big. How many inches should be between the ends of the desk and wall to comfortably pass around it? I am having a hard time finding the answer online.
