Co-working in linlithgow

Desk Days at The Light Room
If you work mostly on your own, you’ll probably recognise this.

Some days you’re focused and flying.
Other days you’re distracted, procrastinating, or just a bit fed up of your own company.

That might be because you run your own business.
Or because you work from home for a larger organisation.
Or because your job is independent enough that you don’t actually see many people day to day.

My coworking days are for all of that.

They’re a chance to work alongside other people, in a relaxed, welcoming space, with just enough structure to help you stay on track.
what a joy!
"I worked from the Light Room earlier this week for a day and can honestly - what a joy! It was the day of Storm Floris, yet it was peaceful and gave me the headspace to be able to focus without getting up to quickly hang out the washing or pop on the dishwasher (which yes, can be useful when homeworking but not always if you are also a procrastinator like me!) Delicious coffee and biscuits, comfy seats and a very flexible, conducive working space. I've already booked my next session.... Thanks, Becs for offering up this beautiful space. Linlithgow needs it!"

What these co-working days are like

You arrive. We make tea or coffee. You settle in.

There’s a gentle check-in at the start where we each decide what we’d like to focus on that day. Nothing heavy. Just naming it out loud often helps.

From there, the day flows naturally.
Some quiet working time.
Some chatting if it happens.
Headphones on if you’d rather disappear into your screen.
A breakout space if you need a stretch, a breather, or a quick question answered.

I’m there all day, keeping things ticking along and offering support if you want it. And if you don’t, that’s absolutely fine too.

At the end of the day we check in again, mostly just to notice what you’ve managed to do and leave feeling a bit more human than when you arrived.

Who comes along

These days are for people who:

  • Work alone most of the time, by choice or circumstance

  • Like the idea of working alongside others, without pressure

  • Are happy with a bit of chat but don’t want forced interaction

  • Get more done when they’re not the only one in the room

You don’t have to be self-employed.
You don’t have to be outgoing.
You don’t have to share what you’re working on.

You just need a laptop, something to work on, and a willingness to give a different kind of working day a try.

Why I run them this way

I’ve spent a lot of my working life self-employed, and a lot of it at home. I know how helpful it can be just to be around other people who are quietly getting on with their work too.

I’m good at holding space without hovering.
At offering structure without it feeling bossy.
At making things feel relaxed rather than awkward.

These coworking days aren’t about productivity hacks or pushing harder. They’re about creating the right conditions for work to happen more easily.

A few common worries

“I won’t get anything done.”
Most people are surprised by how much they do. And even if it’s a slower day, it still usually feels better than staring at the same to-do list at home.

“I’ll feel a bit awkward.”
There’s no pressure to talk, introduce yourself, or explain what you’re doing. You can ease in quietly. Equally, if you'd like to interact with others - you're welcome to! It's a great place to bounce ideas of other like-minded folk. 

“I should probably just stay at home.”
You absolutely can. But if you’re craving a bit of company, focus, or a change of scene, this might be just what you need. If you were happy at home, why are you on this page anyway?

What people usually leave with

A clearer head.
A bit more momentum.
A sense of connection.
And often a quiet pride in what they’ve managed to move forward.

Nothing flashy. Just steady, decent progress.

be yourself
"This didn’t feel like a ‘coworking event’ at all. It felt like being welcomed into a really supportive working day. I loved the gentle check-ins, the freedom to work quietly, and the lack of pressure. Rebecca creates a space where you can just be yourself and get on with things."
