Set the Office Needs from the Working Routine
Plot four Flitwick moments at full scale: arrival with a bag, concentrated screen work, a private call and end-of-day filing. Measure the furniture in the position used at each moment. The repeated movement between entrance, chair and cupboard reveals where a solid wall or clear corner is more valuable than another decorative choice.
If another person visits or works occasionally, add their chair and equipment to the same exercise. Note whether both users move at once and where personal belongings sit. Keep the principal desk easy to reach. A room with a simple hierarchy is easier to assess than several layouts that compete equally for limited space.
