Project Room Desk and Screen Position for Showrooms
Position the workstation around screen view, daylight, power and the user's dominant hand.

Plan in this order
- Mark screen view direction and window reflections from the seated position.
- Place writing and input surfaces to suit the user's handedness and equipment.
- Route power and data without crossing the chair movement area.
Worked example
Imagine a left-handed analyst whose monitor faces a bright window and whose writing hand is shadowed by a desk lamp.
Turn the screen away from direct reflection and place task light on the opposite side of the writing hand. Test reach to keyboard and notes from the actual chair.
How to test it
Work through a typical session and check glare, reach and cable movement.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place the room off the consultation zone with storage for active project materials nearby.
- Detail
- Use a large shared table, writable surface, and controllable light that supports both screen and paper review.
- Trade-off
- A dedicated room improves focus but removes flexible sales-floor space.
- Spread a typical plan and samples on the table
- Check screen glare and door privacy
