Most of us have been called back to the office already. But the way we manage the boundary between work life and home life has changed.

Home office, a feature that, before the pandemic, seemed to be an extra feature, has become a sought-after one that increases the value of your home. So how do we design one that suits our needs?

With hybrid and remote work on the rise, most of us have the flexibility to work from anywhere we choose.
