He recommends focusing on ergonomics. There should be adequate support for the back from the chair, the screen should be at eye level, and the height of the table must enable the shoulders and arms
to stay relaxed. “Such details might seem small, but they do matter, especially when working for prolonged periods because they significantly minimise the strain on the neck, shoulders, and back,” said Sammeer.
According to Sammeer, lighting is equally important since it affects how comfortable the workspace is. Natural light is preferable in case it can be used; however, care should be taken to ensure that screens are not exposed to glare. Where natural light cannot be used, a combination of layered lighting and a task light will minimise eye strain. It also makes the working environment more pleasant and less tiring.
According to Sammeer, a workspace must not appear too mechanised. This can be remedied by the inclusion of some plants, art, textures, and other meaningful personal items. The main idea here is to create balance where the design must not only provide function but must not distract the person from the task at hand.
