    Thank you Valentina for another great video. I would love to see a video about Pool table rooms. I’ll look on your channel to see if I can find one. ❤

  2. Sandra Lee on February 2, 2023 at 5:06 am

    Great video! This is one of the rare home office ideas/setups Ive seen without Flexispot standing desks and Herman Miller chairs!

  3. Stephanie Robison on February 2, 2023 at 5:06 am

    Omg, I just paused at 15:19 to rearrange my office. I wish I was kidding… 😆

  4. Swankyclass on February 2, 2023 at 5:11 am

    Love the video! Just wanted to say I absolutely hate cords anywhere. I actually take a pretty storage box that has openings on both sides, then I place the power strip in the box, plug everything in the strip and close the lid on the box. Now everything is hidden in plan “pretty” sight. Have a great day!

  5. Patricia Robinson on February 2, 2023 at 5:11 am

    Love you and your chanel❤

  6. Rowan Atkinson on February 2, 2023 at 5:13 am

    Thanks so much for doing an office video 😂I can so relate to your views on gaming chairs. More office content please!

  7. Jilly on February 2, 2023 at 5:16 am

    Someone could earn a mint making desk chairs that look like furniture instead of Medieval orthopedic devices. I’m dramatic, but someone, take the idea!

  8. C Be on February 2, 2023 at 5:17 am

    Any one else have books that aren’t pretty. I have all different sizes and colors and it never looks like any of these pictures.

  9. Lara Steinbacher on February 2, 2023 at 5:18 am

    Yay, just what I what looking for. Thank you, Valentina! 😀 Going to buy some beekeepers naturals as my sister just became a certified beekeeper she doesn’t have any yet but she collects anything to do with bees. Inspired to go tackle my utilitarian office to something I might actually like being in. Oh by the way the other space that is a problem is the workout area as it is also very boring.

  10. Mrs Pleasants on February 2, 2023 at 5:19 am

    In my office I have wicker box that I keep. my cords in with one cord (extension) comes out of a hole in the side to plug in. For my dressing table I use hat boxes and have a hole in the side…same concept. Neat and tidy.

  11. dana aya on February 2, 2023 at 5:19 am

    Thank you! Its about time someone does a video on practical sophisticated home office design!!

  12. SDOPHOTO on February 2, 2023 at 5:20 am

    Just had a huge aha moment…. my home office is where I spend about 8 hours plus a day. I have painted it Gentlemen’s Grey BM and I love the colour, I have personal art work, I have decent storage (but I probably could have planned more- but its ok lol) But the candle comment just struck me as something that I will start tomorrow.

  13. Denise Petersen on February 2, 2023 at 5:21 am

    Great video, as usual, Valentina. It makes you think of your own office situation and what is working or not working for you. Thanks for the suggestions!

  14. Mariann Reid on February 2, 2023 at 5:21 am

    Where would I find the dark file cabinet I saw between 13 and 14 minutes? I defiantly need to work on my office. You have inspired me.

  15. Cheryl Kavanagh on February 2, 2023 at 5:22 am

    Love this video, Valentina. Storage and a good chair and are essential to an organized work space. I hate desk clutter and like everything in its place and I am fortunate to have a dedicated space for my home office. In addition to some original paintings (I love supporting local artists), there is a large framed bulletin board (Pottery Barn) above part of my desk. Whenever I was working on a project, it was a handy place to attach things for quick reference. I also had other items attached: a trinket from a special trip. some photographs, or other mementos. Just glancing up and seeing these things gave me pleasure, especially when Immersed in a difficult work project. I am now retired and there are definitely more memento type items (special things from my granddaughter, etc.) on my board. It is an everchanging collage of things I love. I had thought of removing the it when I retired, but I find that I really enjoy it. Not everyone’s taste, I know, but I love it.

  16. Tracey Gartrell on February 2, 2023 at 5:23 am

    Thank you for your inspiration

  17. SatoKuma’s mom on February 2, 2023 at 5:23 am

    Buying cheap mismatched furniture when u make 6 figures… aka my sister 😂

  18. Anna Zolotova on February 2, 2023 at 5:27 am

    I have a Sayl ergonomic chair by Herman Miller in black and I actually really love the design. I keep everything else soft and not office-like just how you describe 🤍

  19. Shika Raynor on February 2, 2023 at 5:28 am

    Desks floating in the middle of the room only work if you only use a laptop. If you use multiple monitors and other items that need power, you need to be up against a wall near an outlet.

  20. Jules Davis on February 2, 2023 at 5:28 am

    Check out desk chairs at Zuri.

  21. Despina Kyraleos on February 2, 2023 at 5:29 am

    I always wondered about the map in your office. I was looking for similar ones on Amazon, I am still looking! I also am looking for an office chair that’s attractive and functional.

  22. H R on February 2, 2023 at 5:30 am

    Yes to making an office feel more personal and warm.. that’s the plus side of working from home!

  23. Pamela Selwyn on February 2, 2023 at 5:33 am

    Desk chairs are so important, and so is having a desk at the correct height, especially if you are shorter or taller than average. I worked for years at a dining table much too high for me and had a lot of neck problems. As soon as I got a chair and desk at the right height (a guy came to my house and adjusted everything to my needs) things really improved.

  24. gretchen hayhurst on February 2, 2023 at 5:33 am

    I had the builder put a closet in my office. I then got shelving and drawer units from Container Store and customized it for all my hobby supplies. BUT there is a full bath next to it soooooo if something happens and we can’t get upstairs to our bedroom, we can turn my office into a bedroom. We downsized from 4400 Sq feet to 2900(too small) and so every inch of space has to have more than one function. I hear you about lack of storage. It’s a nightmare. .

  25. -Nellie -m on February 2, 2023 at 5:34 am

    I’ve been loving this recent content Valentina, we turned one of our bedrooms into a home office as my husband works from home a fair bit when he’s not away working interstate, we used furniture from IKEA which I wouldn’t recommend for a long term office, I guess you get what you pay for but it suits our needs for the time he has left working before he retires, I’ve noticed the back of the bookshelves have discoloured slightly, from reasons unknown because they’re in a bedroom inside our home, he also spent the money 💰 on a decent office chair because he spends so much time in there working, eventually it will be turned back into a bedroom/playroom for future grandchildren one day 🙏🏻, and I’m thinking of putting a fold out couch in there to give more space for playtime and then it can be turned into a bed for sleepovers, we have a cabinet for all our filing system, which not only includes our personal files but also a file for my MIL and my mother because they’re getting very old and my MIL is in a nursing home and my mother is early stages of Dementia and we’re currently looking at nursing homes for her as well, I have a FILE FOR EVERYTHING LOL 😂, I’d be lost without it….Great video, Thank You for sharing all your tips and knowledge with us, you’ve helped me more than you know. Cheers from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺❤️❤️

  26. Janet Billings on February 2, 2023 at 5:36 am

    My desk is not against a wall in my office, I hate cords as well. Is there such a thing as a BEAUTIFUL (lots of not so beautiful) desk lamps that are battery operated? Not to mention cords from your desk to outlets are a tripping hazard. Thanks

  27. Crystal Wood on February 2, 2023 at 5:37 am

    Another great video! I’m in the process of setting up my office to also include a hang out for my sister and friends when they come over. Can you do a video on how to make a patio(closed in)or sunroom feel cozy?

  28. Lourdes Ledesma on February 2, 2023 at 5:37 am

    Herman Miller’s office chairs are great…

  29. Alice Smith on February 2, 2023 at 5:37 am

    Small spaces or rooms that have a dual purpose = I would love to hear your recommendations for addressing these spaces while they work as a home office.

  30. Mika M on February 2, 2023 at 5:39 am

    It bugs me that all the photos of desks for sale never have their stuff plugged in. I wouldn’t put it past them to cut the cords off just for the photos.

  31. Malisa Purpose Driven Living Home on February 2, 2023 at 5:40 am

    This is so good I’m in the process of creating an office space so this is what I needed

    – first that dress love it 🥰 second I’m missing that beautiful orchid you had in your office.

  32. Michelle W on February 2, 2023 at 5:40 am

    Any solutions for tall single windows? I have 3 around my office.

  33. kylelee sherman on February 2, 2023 at 5:44 am

    So excited for this video, I’m just now starting on my office!! Can’t wait!!

  34. Flaming Basketball Club on February 2, 2023 at 5:44 am

    Valentina should go on the EconTalk podcast later this year as a future guest.

  35. Cheryl Belott on February 2, 2023 at 5:45 am

    Great video topic! Glad you touched on cords and office chairs. I want the pretty chair but I need the comfort of my well-supported black office chair. Looking forward to hearing if you find the best of both comfort and style.
    My challenge is my office is in the corner of my living room. Long and narrow room approx 20.5’ x 11’. No room to float a desk so it is against a wall . Not so easy to have separate zones in this room so that’s a challenge. Also, I have 2 large monitors on the desk in addition to my laptop. They take up the length of the desk. Any suggestions for when you need these items on your desk compared to the pretty “magazine desks” with a tiny laptop with beautiful decor around it?

  36. Verlene Lewis on February 2, 2023 at 5:45 am

    Interesting how many examples were shown that had no storage and “pretty” chairs that were not adjustable.

  37. Bruce Wallace on February 2, 2023 at 5:49 am

    For the “empty nesters,” maybe a video on what to do with a children’s room which is no longer occupied by your child? What do we do with these rooms?

  38. Ann Bramlett on February 2, 2023 at 5:52 am

    Great timing! I’m redoing my office/ guest bedroom.

  39. Diksha Gaur on February 2, 2023 at 5:53 am

    Thank you so much for this timely video! I love all your ideas! Office setup and decor is a very neglected area of interior design. Thank you for paying attention to this space!

  40. Colin McKnight on February 2, 2023 at 5:53 am

    Valentina, would you consider doing a followup presentation that is a deep dive on selecting an office chair? What features you are looking for in your own search, how to conduct such a search if you are restricted solely to shopping online, how to find affordable options that will provide appropriate support for your back, etc? I’ve been looking forever for a comfortable, supportive chair that will provide needed lumbar support, won’t cut off the blood flow to my legs, will allow reclining and swivel, that sort of thing. In looking at some of the chair options you showed during this video, I can’t imagine surviving a full day of work sitting on them. They may be attractive, but the angle of the back is often too raked, there often isn’t enough padding on the seat, that sort of thing. How do we find comfortable work chairs that won’t look out of place in our homes?

  41. *rem!i* on February 2, 2023 at 5:53 am

    I don’t have an office but regardless, helpful hints for all rooms. Have you done a shelf styling video yet & if not, would you consider doing one?

  42. Sandra Spina on February 2, 2023 at 5:55 am

    I need a new chair and light too.

  43. W J on February 2, 2023 at 5:56 am

    ❤ these tips. I placed two desks together because I didn’t want to spend the price for a large desk. I need a large workspace.
    I opted instead for a nice sideboard with shelving above. I don’t like to have my printer 🖨️ and other things out.

  44. Kr Ma on February 2, 2023 at 5:58 am

    Agg chairs so hard to get something that looks nice and feels good.

  45. Fire Stick on February 2, 2023 at 5:58 am

    I’m in the planning process of the home office so this is brilliantly timed! Nice to know I’m not the only one dealing with the realities of the day to day, either. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Love the Hematite! I’ve got Antique Tin. But, I may do Hematite somewhere, I love it so much!

  46. Aly Shik on February 2, 2023 at 5:59 am

    I would love ideas for a nice modern sleeper sofa. my office doubles as a guest room and I cannot find a nice one

  47. H P on February 2, 2023 at 5:59 am

    I love your channel – thank you!
    This video was perfect today as I am planning to reorganise my office.

  48. Kalena Kai on February 2, 2023 at 6:03 am

    Another place to look for inexpensive office furniture is craigslist or fb marketplace. Last year someone was giving away a big wood executive desk and matching double wide file cabinet. It did cost me about $300 between gas and moving supplies to get it home undamaged but since the furniture itself was free I feel I scored big! Now I have all the storage space I need and beautiful furniture that would have cost me $1500 or higher if I bought new.

  49. Adele Castaldi on February 2, 2023 at 6:04 am

    I would love your ideas on setting up a workout space, particularly when you’re limited on space… I have an extra bedroom I am trying to make both an office as well as carve out an area in there for exercise that isn’t unsightly. Any ideas you have would be so helpful!

  50. Allison Fithian Ruby on February 2, 2023 at 6:04 am

    I wish that you would encourage folks to look into purchasing original art instead of prints and chain store reproductions.The work of local and emerging artists can be quite affordable . Support local artists!
