生活方式在不断变化，越来越多的人需要在家办公。随着小空间生活的兴起，当你试图创造多功能的区域时，你可能会发现新的挑战。

To help maximize the use of every space, we wanted to create a guide for creating a two-person work space in your home. This could be perfect if you share a room with your sibling, both you and your partner work from home or if you are starting a small business. Find inspiration to create a home office that will keep you and your at-home co-worker productive.

Let’s Get to Work!

Here are some ways to stay productive throughout the day while navigating a shared work space:

Have a Designated Work Area

即使你是在家工作，把工作时间和休息时间分开也是很重要的。如果你没有家庭办公室的空间，仍然在一天结束的时候做额外的步骤来确保你从工作中退出。清理你的工作空间，关掉所有与工作相关的电子设备。我们建议不要在舒适的床上工作，这会对你的睡眠时间表产生负面影响。

Set a Schedule

Working from home with a partner could be great, but might also lead to distractions. Keep normal business hours to ensure you are meeting all necessary deadlines.

Take Breaks When You Need

It’s ok to have a chat with your home co-worker to realign your priorities. This could be a great way to alleviate writer’s block or reduce stress. Taking the time to recharge your batteries throughout the day might actually keep you focused and productive in the long run. Maybe try water cooler or coffee breaks as if you were in an actual office environment.

Make it Work For Everyone

Before getting to work on your home-office, here are some things to ponder with your work partner:

• Will either of you be on the phone frequently? If so, this could be a distraction to the other’s work productivity.
• 你们有相似的风格偏好吗?当涉及到空间的美学时，准备好做出一些妥协吧!共享愿景就是互相关心。
• What organization habits do each of you keep? If one person has more chaotic work habits, while the other is more methodical, consider how those differences may effect your day-to-day efficiency if you’re sharing supplies.

也就是说，让我们来探讨一下如何最大限度地利用工作区域，同时提高工作效率。

Urban Workspace for Two

• Placing twoL-shaped deskstogether, or using one L-shaped desk and a matching standing desk, is both trendy and effective at providing separate yet cohesive workspaces.
• Mountingwall shelveswill help you save on desk space, and mitigate any incoming clutter.
• Be sure to express both of your tastes! It’s a workspace—not a dungeon. Utilize wall art and decor accents that inspire each of you.
• Any reminders of upcoming appointments are perfect on a chalkboard or corkboard; that way, you’re both kept informed of each other’s schedules.
• Urban style is versatile, and accentuates neutral-toned decor with pops of color effortlessly. You can go bold, or stick todark metaland wood for that industrial vibe.

Chic Workspace for Two

• Keeping your space light and bright—with just a touch of girly-girl—is the perfect setup for roommates.
• 用屏幕分隔两张l型的桌子是一种别致的方法，可以消除对方的动作和活动带来的干扰。
• Integrating plants and greenery (even if they’re not real) can help boost your mood during work.
• 在手边放一个文件柜，以便随时准备重要的文件和文件。
• 搭配椅子可以让你的白色工作空间更有凝聚力，体现优雅。

Traditional Workspace for Two

• No matter what kind of desks you have, you can place them side-by-side or, for more efficiency, add a storage system in-between so it’s easily accessible for both parties.
• 在你的空间中争取对称——尤其是墙壁艺术和台灯——可以创造一个和谐的工作区域，这样你就可以专注于重要的事情。
• Storage chests are a perfect complement to a bookcase for important documents.
• Need to prop up your feet? Having a pouf close by will come in handy for that.
• 把你正在处理的纪念品、雕塑或文件放在书桌的开放式架子上，这样你就可以随时准备好了。

Bohemian Workspace for Two

• When it comes to boho, never be afraid to mix and match colors, patterns and styles.
• 把你最喜欢的两件作品挂在墙上可以展示你的个性和才华。If you’re wondering how to create a gallery wall, feel free to check out our blog on ithere!
• 额外的照明，如灯或台灯，可以增加平静的气氛，并允许你减少在电脑前的眼睛疲劳。
• Having chairs with a pop of color will inject vibrancy into your workspace, and stand out from the wood of desks and other storage furnishings.
• Accessorize with stylish vases or sculptures on your bookcase for even more eye-catching oomph.

Minimalist Workspace for Two

• “少即是多”意味着每件事都需要一个地方——让办公桌与额外的存储空间面对面就可以做到这一点。如果你们在一起工作，并且需要合作来完成项目，这尤其方便。
• Having an accent table with caster wheels means you can cart paperwork away when you don’t need it and have it by your side when you do.
• Sticking with soft neutrals reduces distraction so you can make work time count.
• Opting for textures instead of bright colors, like this jute weave rug, will ensure your room isn’t bland or boring.
• 把你经常需要的工具放在手边，把其他东西都放好，这样你的大脑就会保持清醒。
