What actually matters in a home office

Every Hough Green home office project we quote hinges on the same set of questions:

  • Eliminating monitor glare
  • Controllable diffused light for video calls
  • Background aesthetics on camera
  • Privacy from ground-floor passers-by

Painted hardwood in a mid-neutral (Farrow & Ball 'Cornforth' is the most-specified colour we sell for offices).

Our default home office specification

Across Hough Green home offices we mostly fit:

  • Full-height with wide 89mm louvres
  • Café-style for ground-floor offices
  • Tier-on-tier for tall study windows

89mm louvres tilt to bounce diffused light across the room — the flattering top-lighting look for video calls.

Tilt down for privacy from the pavement without closing off the view entirely.

What actually stops monitor glare?
