Living-room tables for two workers
Couples and flatmates in Delft often share the main living room as an office during the week. We plan a shared table that seats two with separate cable drops so chargers do not cross the middle of the meal surface.
After hours the same table should host dinner for four. Leaves, flip tops, or a nested side panel let the weekday footprint shrink without hauling furniture into a bedroom.
Shared work module specs
Widths assume facing or side-by-side seating. Storage is shared or split so each person keeps a drawer without claiming the whole room.
| Width | Depth | Power | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 160 cm | 80 cm | 4 sockets (2 per side) | 2× small drawers / 0.08 m³ |
| 180 cm | 90 cm | 6 sockets + 2 USB hubs | 2× pedestals / 0.16 m³ |
| 200 cm (with leaf) | 90–110 cm | 6 sockets + floor outlet | bench base + baskets / 0.20 m³ |
Softening call noise between partners
Thin floors and tall rooms along the canals bounce voices. We place a soft panel or bookcase spine between seats when video calls overlap, without building a full partition that would darken the room.
If one person needs silence, we pair the shared table with a focus nook in a quieter corner so the living room stays the default collaboration zone.
Protecting herringbone floors
Chair casters chew historic parquet. Shared kits include felt pads or a defined rug zone sized to both chairs so wheels never leave the protected area during a long day.
We measure the rug against door swings toward the kitchen so Friday dinner guests are not stepping over a curling edge every time they refill a glass.
Shared-table planning fees
A shared-work layout for one living room is typically €520–€760 depending on whether leaves and dual cable routes are drawn. Full-day sessions that also place seating and lighting land near €620 for the principal planner.
