Like many people I have been mostly working from home over the last year, trying different parts of the house to find the spot that worked best. Eventually opting for what had become the cats room.
The smallest bedroom in our home had at one time been set up as a home office, back in the days when a computer took up a lot more space than a laptop now does. But sharing a room with the cats things did mean it wasn't really set up properly, a clear out and a tidy up later and the space was suitable to work.
We tend not to have many house plants, except in the conservatory, however more have been creeping in over the last year or so, and the home office, sorry cats room was no exception.
Earlier in the year we had repotted the variegated Monstera that came home with us from a trip to Madeira and have been rewarded with some lush new growth.

The larger of the two had been struggling a little before repotting, which we discovered was down to over watering - i think we were both "looking after" the house plants in this room and hadnt spotted the problem. Now with a new watering regime and fresh compost it is flourishing again.

With this being my base for much of every working day, a few additional plants and other objects have found their way in to the room. An as yet unnamed houseplant from a local nursery (Rhaphidophora perhaps?) finds its way onto my desk in a pot we already had tucked away in the attic. The green rabbit was came home with us from a trip to Amsterdam

Following the latest addition a colleague remarked via a Teams call that I appeared to be disappearing into the undergrowth. I'm quite pleased the new additions were noticed!
Have you been working from home more, and if so how have you accessorised your workspace?
