Burwood: make the home office part of the shutter brief

A productive room needs the right balance of light and control.

For a Burwood home office, the problem may be a bright screen reflection rather than a need to close the whole room all day. That distinction matters when comparing window treatments.

ShieldCo’s site assessment can explore when the room is used, where the desk sits and how the shutter’s positions would affect the workspace. The owner should ask for a practical explanation of the proposed setup, including any compromise in daylight.

A good result starts with a useful brief. It is worth discussing room layout and the working day before choosing the covering, rather than buying first and adapting the workspace afterwards.

Three things to discuss

  • Note the desk and screen positions
  • Record the hours of unwanted light
  • Discuss useful daylight in each shutter position
