dimmable table lamp on your WFH desk: Seems minor but it's very nice to have a table lamp on a dimmer switch as a part of your wfh setup:

diffuse light makes you happy and I think it makes my face looks nicer on zoom calls.

The dimmer allows you to set a cozier vibe. I keep it darker in the room while I'm not in calls.

The lamp goes on at the beginning of your workday and off at the end of the workday, an important delineation in your work day. Put your desk to sleep!

Ive been wfh for over 10 years and my day doesn't start until the lamp is on :)

candles candles candles: I know it sounds basic, but it honestly makes all the difference. Find a place where you can bulk buy tealights, taper and pillar candles, and burn them every evening for at least two hours. Those little flames have magic winter powers.
