Is it just me, or does anyone else also spend the majority of their work video calls trying to hide the haphazard nature of their WFH set-up? Truth be told, while my colleagues dial in from their home offices or designated work desks, I’m spending the two minutes before the meeting clearing clutter off the table, creating a makeshift laptop stand out of cookbooks, and desperately digging around in my bag for a pen.

With no space for a desk, I make do with my dining table (don’t imagine a grand mahogany masterpiece — I’m talking about one of those classic square four-seater IKEA tables). It’s not ideal, so I’ve decided to do something about it!

If, like me, you’re fed up with the dining-table-cum-desk leaving you with a massive amount of setting up to do each morning, a severe lack of permanent office storage, and a sore back from sitting all day at an uncomfortable chair, then these hacks should help.
