In this post, I’m going to show you how I created a home office accent wall that works as the perfect Zoom background, with no mess in sight. Something had to change, and it definitely needed to make jumping on Zoom and looking professional a plug-and-play situation. (You’ll need to make sure the Virtual Background button is 'on' from the Meeting tab. The people on the other end of the camera were usually treated to a background littered with school books, papers, and math problems messily scrawled on the giant whiteboard wall behind us. We adjusted the layout to fit us all in, but the video calls? They looked like a hot mess. As you can imagine, things started to look a little displaced. Click Choose Virtual Background, and select. And all of us are on multiple Zoom calls a day. To add or change your virtual background during a meeting, click on the upward arrow () next to Start/Stop Video. We added another desk (their 15-minute DIY homeschool desk) plus a craft table. The decision is solely up to each person because it depends on them. The second option would be to download and apply a virtual background.

The first option is to actually clean up and organize what is actually behind. Now, I share the office with my two kids. There are two choices for backgrounds in those video conference calls. I used to work alone, I only had one desk, and video calls were infrequent (basically nonexistent). As a paint company, its our job to help people feel good in their homes.

My home office has gone through a lot of changes since I designed it back in 2019.
