Sorry I didn’t realize this was going to post 3 times. Web site said my post wasn’t available at this time. Oops.

I don't know if this will help, but after I did a search on your subject, found this.

Are you making a temporary Covid-19 work from home station, or is the work station something permanent that you need?

Personally, I would remove the cube and have a light desk, maybe even a glass top, opening up the space and desk places so you sit behind it and look out the window. It would open up the space

Thanks Kathy, if the dining room didn’t look into the office I would consider that. I have plenty of room in the office to do what I need to do it’s the site from the dining room to this desk is what I hate. My back is against the wall at my desk and I can see the lake and the side street. And into the dining room.

This is my view with my back against the wall. That’s why I like the location of my desk.

You could try painting the "fabric" panels. Several posts on here about painting fabric.

I watched a few YouTube’s on the chalk paint covering fabric. And I’m going to give it a shot when I’m done I will post the picture I think that’s the best solution so far. Other than new construction. To be continued

Just finished it the color is so much better. But I got to be honest I never want to paint fabric again it was way harder than I thought. It’s a sunny day so what do you see is the sun coming through the windows but you get the idea. Thanks for the push, it’s like I said it was for the price the right thing for me to do.
