With many of us trading in long commutes and lunch meetings for Zoom calls on our laptops, there's no better time to spruce up your home office than now. "One of the best ways to create a mood and change is with lighting and color," says Hilda Stark, production designer on The Good Fight. "Natural light is best, but other sources like desk lamps on side tables are good, too."

Stark also suggests adding pops of color with a bright lampshade, vase, or artwork. "I love a dash of red or yellow," she says. Other ways to bring personality to your 9-to-5 nook are by painting one wall in a bold contrast hue, investing in a couple of potted plants ("having something to take care of makes you feel good"), or finding a few key pieces that make you happy, like Diane's (Christine Baranski) whimsical Victorian painting. "The neutrality of this year has felt oppressive, but small things can really liven up a space," says Stark.With that in mind, let's go shopping.
