Try putting it on human eyes level, like 150-160cm, and if necessary - lower the camera target and apply "vertical tilt" on the camera, it will compensate perspective distortion.

While true, too low can be a problem. 150cm is far too high in most cases. Ive worked on site with photographers doing architectural shoots and typical height is between 110-120cm for a nice interior photograph. Sure you can deviate but just giving my 2c.

hm, good point.
We do offices and always put the camera on 150. Most likely because the height of our ceilings is usually 3 meters or more. Indeed, with a camera at 150 for 250-270cm ceilings the space may look cramped, so 120 would be a good height. I should watch some videos on how real estate photographers take pictures :)

In any case, the OP's pictures don't even show the desk top, which means the camera is somewhere around 70-80cm, which is still too low

James Vella:
Yep I think you are correct, its far too low when you cant see the table top.

And yes sometimes when you have a high ceiling you have to deviate a little or pull the camera back to capture more. One of the things ive noticed when working closely with photographers is that we often cheat and pull the camera 2-3 meters back through the wall with clipping to show the ceiling, which is a bit unfair for the customer since they get an unrealistic view of the space but it does tend to sell well... Im not in the marketing game but I have some understanding of their requirements lol.
