I would imagine that only to be as nice as you describe when you have a house, though, including a room that's only for work, where you can just shut the door.

At least for me it's like that. Working from home feels quite odd right now, as I don't have that. Not even an own corner just for work, I'm out of corners ;)

It does help making things better w.r.t. my rather late sleep phase, though. Not having to waste time on the road.

Actually, at that time, we had a minuscule apartment that was packed with books and so much crap, we only had a tiny little space in the living room to set up our shared workspace, so I can relate. A “room of one’s own” definitely helps but isn’t 100% necessary, although it would be more challenging if you have roommates engaged in other activities.

The "shut the door" thing was also meant for "closing work for today / weekend", out of sight, out of mind, not for shutting out noise from flat mates - I couldn't have those anyway, given my sleep schedule that would likely wreck me ^^
