One advantage of using the same screen for work and home use is that it gave me justification for splurging on a 30" main monitor last year. A KVM switches the screen, keyboard and mouse over to my docking station for when I'm working.
I love my usb kvm though I don't put video through it, I switch the display between the hdmi & dvi inputs (toying with the idea of adding audio to it, so I can use my one good set of headphones on both rigs). Multiple displays give me whiplash.

Man, you guys need to move countries a couple of times. That soon sorts out how much stuff you have lieing around. Most of what I own would fit into a few boxes*.
Yep, 30" screen, 2560x1600 res (16:10 aspect ratio obviously). The ones either side are older 4:3 screens running at 1600x1200 (liberated from work). Bought the 30" screen last year after my old, trusty 27" ViewSonic finally packed in.
Not really a crusade, I just consider it a downgrade from 16:10 and I don't like new products that are a downgrade from what I had previously.
Incidentally I bought my wife a new laptop last year, went for a Huawei Mateboox X Pro (3:2 screen). Interestingly, the chassis is almost identically sized to the HP Elitebook I have for work. Except on my wife's laptop the whole lid is screen, whereas my work laptop has the better part of 5cm of plastic bezels at the top and bottom. It's a bit shit.
Most of the art was my mum's (the flower ones she made), there's no particular theme. They were lying around for 2 years in a pile, wasn't sure where to put them when tidying up so i just banged a bunch of nails up all over the place and stuck them on the wall. I guess that's sort of what you're meant to do with them.
The fire extinguisher (and fire blanket) are from my welding bay (which no longer exists since I turned the garage into a wood and CNC workshop, need to build a new welding bay), I know use it to fend off H&S managers who want to do risk assessments for working from home.
I'm still in Auckland, the part of New Zealand that isn't like the rest of New Zealand. Just coming to the last few days of the "Level 4" lockdown that we've been in for the last four weeks. The announcement of whether it gets extended or reduced to, say, Level 3 will be this afternoon. Level 3 being the same as Level 4, but the takeaways can open. Which will be great - I'd forgotten how hard it is to think of a different meal to cook every day of the week. Might even be able to make it to the beach without feeling guilty about not staying within the postcode.
I'd show a photo of my WFH desk, but it's a desk. A bit like Matt's desk, but messier, and a bit like Dave!!'s desk, but smaller.
I was going to say that I may have gone a bit too far on the screen front, but I seem to be in good company. Don't have my own mancave anymore since the little monster came along, so it's just the corner of a bedroom.
