Work from Home in High Style with our Dreamy Zoom Backgrounds

Another week, another Zoom. Does this one require a shower? Will the boss care that I’m taking this call from bed? How closely can I crop my head and not look creepy?

All these questions surface when you’re working from home, plus the inevitable, indubitable, “But my home is a shambles!”

You are not alone on that one. So make your go-to gray t-shirt look like the epitome of cabana style with our customized Zoom rooms, courtesy of our latest Williams Sonoma Home catalog:

We’re going to assume that your colleagues are too clever (ahem) to think that you’ve magically acquired a chandelier and floor-to-ceiling windows since the last time they saw you. But, if you can’t have a margarita during a meeting, doesn’t this sort of backdrop make you feel like you could, and that no one would care?

Want to play? Here’s what you do on Zoom:

• Scroll through the images below and save your faves to your computer desktop.
• Now head to Zoom and log in. (For a how-to video on background changing, go here or here. )
• In the upper-right corner; click the settings gear icon.
• Head on over to “video” in the left column to make sure your lighting is correct, and neither too bright nor too dark.
• Then click “virtual background” from the left-hand-side bar.
• Click the plus-sign icon to upload your favorite home look. (Get stuck? Review the video.)

Herewith, our favorite looks, plus what to tell your colleagues:

“The French doors? Aren’t you darling! They go to the pool!”

“I am definitely only drinking a sparkling water with lime.”

“Sorry, are those floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting too much sunlight for everyone?

“Wish you all were here to share this cozy sectional with me.”

“Why, thank you, I designed it all myself.”
