Desk area

Before and after photo of a Bonus Room - ping pong moved and sewing nook established.
See that desk over to the right and in front of a window? You may think that's the best place to have a desk, in front of the window, right? Wrong! 

If you need to look at your computer screen, the glare from the window will be a nuisance. Instead, choose an area that has a view of the window but does not compete with the lighting from it. 
Also consider proximity to electrical outlets. A desk area usually requires access to multiple power sources for multiple need such as task lighting, printing and charging. ~ Amy
