People are sharing their work-from-home set-ups and it looks cosy
It’s inevitable; we can’t stop sharing our everyday experiences on social media despite working from home (WFH). So while governments around the world have instructed a partial lockdown and curfews, people are finding creative ways to stay connected with friends, as well as setting up their home offices.
Some of us are fortunate to have a proper workspace or room. Others have migrated to the living room or beds. Wherever our setup is at home, it seems like a lot of us are practising comfort and discipline.
We take a peek at how you’ve been setting up your home offices.

“A live looping jam on partial lockdown. Stay well and keep your spirits high my friends.”
Dawn Jeremiah, VP of Marketing & E-Commerce
“My home is my sanctuary - I turned a spare room into a home office for days when I work from home or for when I work odd hours doing calls with our offices in Europe and the US. My apartment is rose gold, marble and turquoise-themed and I love quirky posters. I work in travel e-commerce and that means looking at data and analytics on a daily basis, so it's important to have a big screen, I might actually get a third one soon!”

Galvin Tan, Business Owner
“When WFH, I have my own dedicated place to work from. It’s a small desk with my notebook for office work, and a desktop beside it for leisure - mainly comprises of games and social media.”
Aaron Yip, Lifestyle and Gaming Editor
“I’ve got a PC that I built myself, a 4K HDR gaming monitor and a SecretLab chair because my WFH room is actually my gaming room (or my man cave lol). The laptop is a HP ZBook x360 G5 workstation.”
Linus Chung, Filmmaker
“I have always worked from home and my setup is three screens so I can communicate on social media, watch a video on YouTube and type at the same time. Other than that, on my table, I have posters and toys that inspire me. There is a small balcony just outside my room, and I can always look outside and not feel trapped.”
Priya Selvakumar, Legal Counsel
“Working from my actual home was too challenging... there’s Netflix/Indian dramas/sports channels that my parents are watching, and they were too loud. I am fortunate though; I could escape to my aunt's place. It's serene. It's idyllic. And that sofa is not as comfortable as it looks so I couldn't nap.”
Sherelyn Goh, Managing Editor
“It's peace and quiet at home. My necessities are my laptop and a cup of green tea or water and a cushion to prop my laptop. Dogs included as random distractions when they wake up from their nap.”
