Equipment & ergonomics
How do you set up a home office in a small flat?
With compact but ergonomic solutions: a narrow height-adjustable desk, foldable or mobile elements, a monitor arm instead of a stand and vertical storage.
Separating work and living matters. Where no separate room is possible, a clear spatial zone plus an end-of-day ritual helps – close the laptop, switch off the light, turn the chair away.
A monitor arm saves depth and enables the correct height. Small desks usually fail on depth, not width. If there is no room for a large office chair, do not give up back support – compact models need little space.
Key points
- Choose compact, height-adjustable solutions
- A monitor arm saves depth and sets the right height
- Clear zone plus end-of-day ritual instead of a separate room
