Best Backdrop Ideas for Your #WFH Zoom Meetings
Perhaps one of the most difficult things about working from home is finding a way to separate your workspace from your downtime space. With video chatting and Zoom conferences serving as our main form of communication during work hours — not to mention our main form of social communication during off-peak hours – our ‘zoom backdrops’ are quickly becoming center stage.
Whether it’s a focused selection of graphic coffee table books to channel an eclectic vibe, signed black-and-white Bridget Bardot classic photographs for the urban sophisticate, or a crisp J.D. Salinger tome for fans of classic design, our top edit of backdrop ideas are a quick way to thoughtfully curate your Zoom backdrops.
Below, you’ll find 3 ultra-chic designs that run the gamut from traditional to avant-garde, along with the key pieces to invest in to master each mood. After starting off small in a centralized #WFH milieu, you may even want to work your way to redecorating your entire living space. After all, if having to stay in your home for days on end doesn’t make you want to hit the refresh button on your entire space, we don’t know what will!
Eclectic
Juxtaposing textures and an amalgam of colors to create an unexpected cohesion of beautiful textures and design elements, make for an eclectic presentation that adds dimension and depth to any backdrop. From graphic coffee table books to the chic fluidity of float vessels or a cheeky vintage print of Raquel Welch in a candy store, consider these the key pieces to experiment in tapping a perfectly elevated, yet eclectic bookshelf decor and vibe.
Urban Sophisticate
Urban design style is innately entwined with cosmopolitan living. With nods to contemporary, modern, and industrial influences, this elevated design ethos typically syncs with a city-dweller state-of-mind. Whether it’s a versatile, transparent objet d'art treasure box or a glitzy framed photo of Bridgitte Bardot and Sean Connery, the backdrop ideas for this aesthetic chart a route to curating your own chicly-refined oasis.
Classic
It’s no secret that classic designs are imbued with a sense of timelessness and staying power. It’s a classic aesthetic that tends to channel a precise mix of a rich and inviting feel. From a set of vintage-looking, hardcover J.D. Salinger’s novels to a crisp pen holder rendered in a luxe mix of horn and ivory leather, consider your space styled to perfection with these classic backdrop ideas.
