I got a monitor arm that clamps to my dining table. When work is done, I swing the monitor away and my table is back to normal. A good keyboard and mouse that you can put away also helps. Its all about making it disappear after 5pm.

Consider a nice looking screen or room divider. Can help mentally separate the 'work zone' from the 'relax zone' even if its just a few feet apart. Plants also make any space feel better imo.

Lighting is super important! A good desk lamp, maybe some bias lighting behind your monitor. Makes a huge diffrence for eye strain and just general mood. Don't rely on just overhead room lighting.

Invest in a good chair first. Then look for multi-functional furniture like a console table that can double as a desk, or a ladder desk. Vertical storage is your friend. And make sure your monitor is at eye level, even if you have to stack books under it!
