Show us your remote work setup!

Hi Community!

I hope everyone out there is staying safe, healthy, and productive. As many of you know or are finding out, when working remotely full time, it's crucial to create and optimize a workspace that is (probably) not your bed or your couch .

So, we'd love to see a photo of your remote work setup - whether it be your two monitors on the kitchen table, cozy makeshift desk in a corner, or fancy-schmancy home office. Extra points for animals sitting on/near keyboards. Hopefully, we can all gain some inspiration and/or joy by sharing our new "corner office" digs.

Heres' mine!

I can't actually work from home but I've been sent home none the less. #vacationtime I'm able to do some online training though and still get paid for that. I'm not yet good at working from home. I don't know what it's like to be on my home computer when it's daylight out.

My brand new work space setup... for the following weeks ... Groot and Rocket guide me

Messy but productive & efficient

Here's my lovely work from home office.

The cat is here as too...

Damn! You're a pro!

Its not much, but its temporarily home. I really wish I had space for another screen.

I have now been working from home for a grand total of 2 days. Not my favorite thing in the world, but here is my new setup. It's a pretty decent view though and at least I have a window now!

Here's my home office...

The Funko collection (Prince and Mr Rogers) is my wife's.

The temporary office in my "shed". Need some bigger monitors to match those others ones in this thread, i feel inadequate.

Wow! That's a big monitor.

A few people may have already seen that I've delegated my work for now.

I worked remotely for 6 yrs solid in previous life and sporadically in this one when I needed to get some serious concentration in. This is my environment:

It's all fed by a VLAN'd and gatewayed Unifi network with dual ISPs. A nice comfy place to work.

Of those that might help, it could be any of these (seen here behind a tinted window having a hummingbird feeder on it with said hummingbird not realizing he is inches away from kitty death)

And they all do help, although the big black one spends rather more time asleep on the couch rather than helping

I love it @Davin Studer !

omg these kitties 😻

I've shared some of these already but why not again. Here's my desk setup, it functions as both a work desk during the day and a gaming/streaming setup at night:

While I'm working during the day, I have a faithful companion that sleeps by my side on the couch behind me:

Our little one who was at daycare until recently seems to be adjusting well to being at home all day:

Our other dog is still determined to catch that rabbit he's been chasing around the yard all week:

Bird meal, followed by fish snack, by the looks of it.

Funnily enough, my daughter is in the exact same position. Enjoying too much Peppa Pig while Mummy works.

There is a reason there is a brick on top of the tank cover. I was fortunate. I was nearby when I heard the crash of said cover hitting the floor pre-brick.

People can always tell when I do that. Quality of work goes up.

I've been working from home since the start of the week but this setup has been a WIP for a number of years.

I've been working remotely for most of the past 15 years. Right now I live on top of a hill at the end of a private road, so this whole "shelter in place" thing is basically my life anyway. My advice:

Lots of plants, cats and dogs in my office are essential to my well being as a remote worker.

Also key:

An essential oil diffuser
Spotify's Feel Good music playlists
A comfy ergonomic chair
Regular walks (dogs ensure this!)
An adjustable standing/sitting desk
Take a real lunch break instead of cramming food in your face while you work, even if just 20 min
Get dressed every day (pajamas don't count as dressed)
Talk to someone who doesn't live with you every day (not about work!)

Matt Doar_tzgiej

Nice keyboard. I've been using Goldtouch "gull wings" for about 20 years now. Saved my wrists

Note the distracting chocolate box used as a monitor support

Lovely spot

I almost went Ergodox for a split keyboard but I was afraid that transition between that and a "normal" keyboard would be tough. As it is, the 75 key ortholinear I have works great, not too hard to move back and forth from it to traditional. I get some split by putting my navigation keys in the middle. Please excuse the ugly keycaps until I get a nice set. These work. Since I will have to go largely custom, want to make sure I really like 'em. However a set of these with the required others is my current favorite.

Tuxedo cats rule. Mine opens doors. All the doors.

I love your office setting @Mandy Ross !

Here is mine

As an administrator of the Confluence Data Center,remote work has increased Confluence's usage, the second week of March ushered in more than 80,000 page views per day.

Now, I need to take a break^_^

My "work" station looks pretty cozy at 6:30 AM. I needed to get a chair from the office because the main issue at home is staying comfortable while working. Now I’m actually enjoying it, reduced noise and meeting are just my type of things

I miss my fluffy Grumpy Cat, who is living on my office desk, so here is my "Grumpy Me" to cheer me up.

Robert O_Farrell_k8fcne

Yeah - I found myself getting wrist pain after long programming sessions. I tried an Ergodox for a short period of time but just couldn't get used to the missing keys and layer based editing. Settled on a UHK and haven't looked back. I'm not sure how you use the Goldtouch for long periods without wrist wrests though!

Hi everybody.

This is great! In our company, we have the same "homeoffice challenge"

With all that social distancing, it feels cool to see all the homes and brings us a little bit closer!

Here is my workplace. In fact, it changes almost every day. Sometime i work from the balcony or from the living room

Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_

The view is so nice

Thomas Schlegel

This is my workplace at the moment. My Co-Worker's sleeping all the time :-)

Here is my remote work set-up... as viewed by my computer screen..... #TrueStory

We've been confined to working from home. Here's my workspace. Sorry, not pets, just Hank the Office Tyrannosaurus with a message for everyone

Milo 3.jpg In the morning I work at the desk in the dining room my wife uses for her stuff. I go to my office after the family wakes up and comes downstairs.

I learned that if I put a cat bed cover next to me they will settle on it and not attack my fingers while I'm typing.

This is Moe, and you've seen Milo.

Love the veiw!

Cats are the best help

It's pretty dang good for a temporary home.

That is a nice layout there that looks comfy. Bigger monitors; yes. I went with a 32" 4k (they really aren't all that expensive) and love it.

My cats go outside for supervised visits in the back yard and are trained to go in when we tell them to. When I see them doing similar to your rabbit chaser, it's almost always a lizard. They often catch them.....

That looks very comfortable and peaceful

That looks very pleasant indeed. Too bad you don't have your grumpy cat, however. Perhaps you have the same freedoms as we do? After our office went "by choice" to WFH and then "it's closed", it still has at least one human there to allow access to go get stuff that might be wanted at home in case (when) this turns into a long haul remote.

Looks like a pleasant place to work

I did basically the same thing with the cat bed... I have room behind my monitor (on an arm) and put a couple of cat beds behind it. Usually occupied when I am working and only occasional helped by a cat batting at the mouse pointer on the screen.

@Mike Rathwell I have 4 cats and one of them exclusively catches lizards and little snakes! How do I explain that I need her to focus on mice and voles?!?

@Mike Rathwell Max (handsome tuxedo-clad gentleman above) has also figured out how to open anything without a latch, like cabinet or armoire doors. I keep finding all these secret nests he's created!

love the papasan chair! I think it's important to have somewhere to curl up if you need to read, or do deep thinking, or focused writing.

Unfortunately who ever in my place wants to vent enjoys it which distracts me. You are totally right it is good for reading time @Mandy Ross

Getting purrfect marks now, @Matt Doar ?

Working hard or hardly working!

They are very hard workers. In the middle of the night.

Well, it took several hours and two different computers plus an iPad to get this picture here but it's finally posted.

I've been working remotely in various quantities including sometimes (pager/off-hour support), part time, and full time for many years at my "day job". Then there are the countless hours I've spent working on my own projects including various coin mining setups, a "rack of Pi's" micro-compute cluster, and a multitude of server install/configs for improving my craft. Oh, there also the household Plex server and network attached storage stashed underneath.

Setup: 54"x24" upper tabletop for monitors, desk toys, etc. 48"x24" lower sliding keyboard-height shelf for keyboards, mice/trackballs, papers, etc. Like several others, I have a window nearby so I can see outside and enjoy the ambient light. Said light played havoc with this photo.

This configuration has served me well for ~20 years with only materials improvements along the way as we've upgraded flooring, furniture, etc. but the configuration has not changed. The most recent addition is motorized legs to make it adjustable to stand-up height (thank you Praecipio Consulting wellness stipend ) and the donation of one of the pair of 29" monitors to my younger daughter who finished her Masters degree and moved back in while looking for a job. Thinking of replacing the monitors with a 46-55" curved screen UHD-TV - woohoo!!

I hope you find a way to get that image in there. That sounds stellar :P

Trying via ipad now.

Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_

Yes, we do have the option to get what we want from the office after requesting access. With 27' monitor and a good chair nothing can go wrong (well except the wifi )

My Setup:

Had to improvise a little on monitor stands. Home phone on the wall, VPN phone to office on the desk. with a bluetooth headset connected to it. And the fidget spinner, for those long conference calls.

Did force me to clean up my desk. You should have seen it before.

Thank you!

I should have brought my wireless keyboard and mouse from the office. I am not so pleased with the cable situation.

Thomas Schlegel

Ah, Werder-Fan :-)

That spot looks great AND a window right beside you.

John Theofanopoulos_mko6dl

Best investment of my life - spent $500 to buy a desk that has a mechanism to raise up/down.

My temporary setup looks like this.

This is, indeed, improvised. Most interesting fact is that for some special task a setup with two monitors (24" each) is absolutely useful!
The monitors are what I consider missing the most in the current situation by technically means.

I'm a fully-remotely software engineer for more than a year now, this is my workplace from home, very messy haha :

Very nice, I will surely buy that table when have a chance

That is a very nice desk. Mine is shaped rather like that (which I like a lot) but doesn't have the fancy uppy downy legs.

One of the most minimalist zen-like workstations I have seen yet.

Very pleasant indeed... With the many that have been remote and add those that ARE remote that might decide they really like it, I wonder how hard it'll be to stuff that WFH genie back in the bottle.

Moses Thomas_08kyb0

Hi every one,

I was wondering, where was i when this post was made, probably busy with work and answering questions on the Atlassian Community

I had 3 days free before it was announced that we are going for a long time HO.

I have managed to prepare this and will just do, Amazing that i even do more than i am suppose to while working at home this is my little world, i would have to get screens and my other PC ready in case of next time.

PS update my home office pics

I hope they relax enough to let you go in to collect your office stuff. My wife's office is now in the process of a handful of humans in there sending office workstation stuff to each newly remote worker.

I was fortunate; when the word came to get home, I was at the office and, even though it was called "temporary" I hauled all the stuff home from my office.

Moses Thomas_08kyb0

@Mike Rathwell Exactly, but you are really lucky for now our office is closed and every one is working at home, if situation will not get better, i would have to communicate with my supervisor so that i can get my stuff it is already 6days now Hmm, lets hope that things get better, it is really convenient to work with monitors, and design HO to feel at work.

Sadly @Moses Thomas , I think you might as well get that ball in motion now. Here in Southern California, on the 11th, my shop said "get out until further notice". Most places here said 2 weeks.

Looking around, I knew that 2 weeks was going to do nothing and guessed that was the "break it to them gently" timeframe. I have seen articles to that effect that the 2 weeks was to get people in that mode and then extend after it was rolling.

Many offices are letting people bring home better chairs from there as well as the tech. I am fortunate in that regard as my physical setup at home is rather better than the office and my tech is equal to a bit better.

As I'm not good at all with being alone all day, I moved to my girlfriend and we opened our own co-working home-office space. Which works pretty well so far. 😁

So much I really want don't

Fabienne Gerhard

Had to improvise as Home Office/Remote was never an option two weeks ago...

Jep I‘m using my ironing board, which is even older than me but what makes it possible to sit or stand 😅

Rate my setup 😉

Teodora V _Warsaw Dynamics_

WOW! You just destroyed all the competition here

Epic!

@Fabienne Gerhard having the option to sit or stand is a fabulous idea!

nice setup

Adam Rypel _MoroSystems_

Here is my home office / studio, making sure music is playing the whole day

That looks like a very pleasant place to work indeed.

Adam Rypel _MoroSystems_

Thanks! Cannot complain.

Andy - PTC Redundant

Brilliant @Fabienne Gerhard ! I love it 💙🌟👍

Andy - PTC Redundant

NOICE ! ! 🤩🌟👍

Thats good one too

I think the wine helps!!

We have a pug who likes sleeping on my feet during the day - I don't think I could cope with her being that close to my screen though.

I do wonder how long it will be before the people at home start complaining about work things encroaching on their space...I love the Funko's though

Love this idea remote setups say so much about how we work and stay sane at home. Whether it’s a full-on home office, a clever kitchen-table command center, or a cozy corner with a loyal pet supervisor, sharing these spaces is a great way to spark inspiration and connection. If you’re managing multiple tools, cameras, or workflows in your setup, it’s worth checking out and installing bstation apk to keep everything organized and accessible while you work. Looking forward to seeing everyone’s creative “corner offices.”
