"According to the 2025 Gallup State of the Global Workplace report, 22% of remote workers experienced loneliness in their day. So, is there anything you can do to make your kitchen working space feel more social, connected, and comfortable? Absolutely. There are plenty of ways - from adding living features like plants to ensuring you have an interesting view - to help the workday feel less lonely and more connected to the other parts of your daily life."
"Kitchens can sometimes end up feeling a little too straight-edged and harsh for remote working, particularly if you are prone to feeling lonely or isolated during the long hours of the workday. So, to make your area feel cozier and more welcoming, why not add some soft furnishings to your kitchen desk? This can mean a fluffy blanket, a comfortable cushion to sit on, or a nice, thick rug at your feet."
Remote work has grown over the last few decades, and many homes and rented apartments lack dedicated office spaces. Kitchens are commonly repurposed as offices because of their larger size and proximity to appliances like coffee makers and kettles. Working in the kitchen does not eliminate feelings of isolation; 22% of remote workers experienced loneliness during the day according to the 2025 Gallup State of the Global Workplace report. Simple design choices can make kitchen workspaces feel more social and comfortable. Adding living elements, ensuring an interesting view, and incorporating soft furnishings reduce harshness and help the workday feel more connected.
