Tips for Creating a Productive Home Office

These days, more people are working from home, both part- and full-time. As the shift from the corporate to the home office becomes more popular, it is important to create home offices that are comfortable, efficient and separate from your everyday living spaces.

Here are a few tips to help you transform a room in your home into a functional home office.

Find the Right Space

When you plan to work from home, seriously consider the best space for your work. Depending on what your business entails, you will need a space and set-up that appropriately suits your needs. Some choose to furnish extra space in a basement, while others will devote an entire room to their office. If there is one bit of advice we strongly suggest, make sure your home office is removed from your everyday living spaces. The living room or bedroom will likely be prone to distractions, so it is essential to find a dedicated space for work.

Furnish it Properly

Consider the offices you have worked in during your career and furnish your home office accordingly. You will most likely need a spacious desk or drafting table, which allows you to either sit or stand when working. A chair that offers the same flexibility is also a good choice, since many people are buying into the new slogan that ‘sitting is the new smoking’. Find ergonomic desks and chairs that are functional and comfortable, so you can be productive throughout the day! You may also want to include chairs for clients if your business will involve meetings at your home. This may not be typical, but many entrepreneurs are bending and breaking the rules of standard office protocol.

Furnishing Tips for New Construction

Unfortunately, most homeowners buy an existing home and have to work with the space they have when it comes to furnishing. However, if you have the chance to build a brand new home from the ground up, you have the opportunity to fulfill all your design dreams. Knowing the amount of space you will have for kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms gives you an advantage and allows you to furnish exactly how you want. Of course, this doesn’t mean it will be an easy task.

These three helpful tips will get you started.

sketched floorplan Measurements

When you embark on building a new home, you will be sitting down with architects and contractors to plan the structure’s layout. During this time, it’s a good idea to jot down all the measurements that pertain to room sizes including width, height from floor to ceiling and square footage. Knowing these numbers in advance will prove beneficial later when you are shopping for sofas, dressers and lighting. Consider how you want certain rooms to look, specifically kitchens and master bedrooms, so you can let the architects know what size space you want.

Natural Lighting

You don’t have much say when decorating an existing home, but with a brand-new design, you have the benefit of dictating the terms when it comes to space. One area every homeowner wishes they had more of is natural light. During the design phase of the home, you have the chance to see where rooms will be facing and how to take advantage of natural sunlight. Deciding where the living room and kitchen will go allows you to get the most natural light possible to make each room more welcome and comfortable.
