WFH? Here's the multi-tasking furniture you need

I have written before about the importance of creating a dedicated workspace that can be office from 9-5 and cocktail lounge by half past. It's certainly an aspirational idea now that so many of us work from home and, crucially, so many of us don't have a "spare" room that can be turned into an office.

This time last year for many of us the home office was a desk - either in a room or a corner - where we could escape for an hour on a Saturday morning to "just catch up on some admin darling, can you watch the kids". Which was code for reading the paper, scrolling the gram and generally not doing anything that much resembled work.

And then 2020 blew in and blew up. And suddenly that home office corner became a space where we actually had to sit and be productive for hours on end. Even the kids had to find somewhere to work as well. No wonder a survey found that nine per cent of people were "working" (hiding/crying/drinking) in the bathroom.
