Creating the perfect home office for two people involves much more than just picking out desks and chairs. It’s about ensuring the space is comfortable, productive, and has an aesthetic that matches the lifestyle of those using it. At Guedu Atelier, we believe that a well-designed workspace can enhance productivity and well-being, all while maintaining elegance.

In this post, we’ll share how to create a sophisticated and functional home office for two people, detailing the design, dimensions, and elements that make all the difference in creating a space that blends aesthetics and practicality.



1. Space Planning: How to Maximize Dimensions


When designing for two users, it’s crucial to plan the dimensions of the space strategically. A functional and comfortable home office requires clearly defined areas for each person. Ideally, the space should be at least 12 m² to ensure both individuals have ample space to work without feeling cramped.

Space Division:


  • Each person should have their own desk, at least 1.2m wide, to ensure a comfortable workspace.

  • To avoid overcrowding, a circulation space is needed.

  • Placing an object, such as a decorative screen, bookshelf, or plant, between the desks can further define each workspace, ensuring privacy and creating a subtle visual separation.

  • Depending on needs, shelves or cabinets should be strategically placed to occupy the walls and keep the center of the room free.



2. Ergonomics and Comfort: Ensuring Productivity


Investing in ergonomic chairs is essential. To ensure the workspace remains comfortable during long hours, chairs should allow adjustments for height, lumbar support, and armrests. The layout must be spacious enough to allow free movement, with wide desks (at least 1.2m long) and enough space for computers, papers, and other materials.



3. Lighting: Layers and Functionality


Good lighting is key to a productive home office. In this project, we opted for layered lighting: matte black industrial fixtures paired with elegant gold details, balancing modern style with sophistication. Natural light floods in through large windows, and the pendant lights above the desks create a cozy atmosphere without overwhelming the space.

4. Smart Storage: Organized with Style


With a combination of open and closed shelving, storage was carefully planned to ensure essentials are easily accessible but without compromising the space’s clean and sophisticated feel. The lateral bookshelf provides space for books, files, and decor, keeping the area organized without overcrowding the design.



5. Natural Elements: A Connection to Nature


Plants are not just decorative; they improve air quality and bring a touch of freshness to the room. Greenery is one of the most welcoming colors, and in our design, we incorporated strategically placed plants to bring life to the space without disrupting the organization. Plants can be placed on shelves, next to desks, or even as focal points for added harmony.



6. Personality in Design: Art and Details


To add personality and depth to the home office, we selected a striking cityscape in black and white, which stands out on the wall, creating an interesting focal point. Art, in addition to being decorative, brings an element of connection to the outside world, making the space feel more vibrant and unique.
