2020 is the year for home improvements. We had to succumb to it, actually, given that we had to make room for work-at-home arrangements, build a remote office, and make the space we only see a few hours before sleeping and after waking up a little bearable. By now, you may have splurged on lots of objects: a robot vacuum here, an air purifier there; a proper lighting piece for video conferencing, a custom table to work/eat on, and maybe a comfortable little nook to destress. Just in case you or someone you know need more—for the sake of productivity or just to channel your energy into re-decorating—here are some ideas.
