Workspace story

The small apartment setup is built around vertical storage and fewer objects. The laptop closes into a stand, the monitor sits on an arm, and a shallow tray holds the few items needed every day.

Why this setup works

    Lighting notes

    A clamp lamp works better than a large table lamp on a narrow desk. Keep the light warm and angled away from the eyes.

    Cable management notes

    Use adhesive clips on the back edge of the desk so charging cables do not fall to the floor.
