This year, we’ve all had to learn to navigate a new way of working. For many, this means trading in going into the office and working from home. As many companies transition to working remotely permanently, we’re seeing an increased demand for home offices. But the trend includes more than just a room to set up your computer. With all of the video conferencing happening, people want a background worthy enough to be showcased on Zoom. 


In other words, a Zoom room. 


Why is this trend catching buyers’ attention? A devoted videoconferencing area provides space for remote workers to have meetings away from the possible craziness at home. Buyers are deliberately looking for an intimate space with aesthetic appeal that doesn’t show their whole home. 


Below, we showcase some ideal backgrounds for all your Zoom meetings. 


Natural Light

Want to look your best on-screen? Natural light is the way to go! Oversized windows let the light in and can be used as a backdrop when on a call. Plus, natural light can boost mood and productivity for those who are at their computers all day. 


Outdoor Lounge

If you have an outdoor space, why not use it when weather permits? A workspace on a patio or deck makes for a beautiful setting and helps you get some Vitamin D.  


Bookcases

This epic built-in bookshelf makes the perfect background for any videoconference. Even if your library is on the smaller side, an organized bookshelf is both appealing and appropriate for a home office. 


Architecture and Art

Ornate design features also make for a beautiful workspace. A stunning fireplace or a room with elegant crown molding create a unique background. No worries if your Zoom room doesn’t have a special design feature. Simply hang your favorite art piece for a background that is sure to spark discussion. 


Exposed Elements

Exposed brick, stone, and wood are always eye-catching. If you’re fortunate enough to have some exposed elements in your home, they are sure to make a beautiful backdrop every time. 

Whether it’s called a home office or a Zoom room, as long as employees work from home, they’ll be searching for their perfect video background. What does your ideal WFH space include?
