Whether they’ve always worked from home or that suddenly, we have been in that situation, or simply want a place to keep order in all these papers and bills that accumulate in the kitchen, a home office is a place increasingly important due to our current lifestyle. The lucky ones already have a room used as study, others make do with the guest room. But another possibility is to create a space in a closet or replaced by a modern barn home office.

For Jane Hughes who has worked from home for eight years, the most important thing is to put the office where we are comfortable, with a good atmosphere, a comfortable seat, etc.. But always in the style of the person. It is also important to keep your workspace clean and tidy and ensure that you are in an area of the house away from all distractions. “I have found that work best when the office is on the back of the house, away from the distractions of the street, who always seems to be full of happy people for not working, especially on sunny days,” he adds.

For Nina Campbell, an interior designer, have a large storage space and be away from all distractions are critical to the success of a home office. “I need to have storage space (shelves and cabinets), together with a proper desk and a comfortable chair,” he says. It also recommends painting the room in soothing colors (neutral tones of cream and blue and green).

In a cupboard: we can use the space under the stairs to build a desk surrounded by shelves (remember that the hall should remain wide enough that people can pass), or a hole there in the living room: it you can put doors and place a broad shelf, preferably extensible, with a few shelves and a light. If the chair does not fit, choose one that goes with the rest of the decor of the room and be left out by the doors.

If you have a closet in our room, we can remove clothing and to not use a desk inside. Thus, we can close the door of the computer, which is much better for sleep and not have our room office appearance. We can even put a triangular desk in a corner of the kitchen, there is room enough for a laptop and using a small closet we put on him quick access to invoices and other documents.

In the guest room: it is common to use a spare room to store the ironing board, hang the laundry, house guests and also as an office (hopefully not all at once). The key is storage: use sofa beds, desks that fold into coffee tables, awnings hanging from the ceiling, etc.. For part-time workers, a nice table and a laptop may be enough.

A study: an entire room just for work, and probably is still a mess, because we tend to fill all the space we have. If that is familiar, it’s time for us to go through a store to buy items from storage. You have to decide what things can be classified as long-term storage, place the file folders and binders on shelves AZ and rid the filing cabinet. Place the desk where you actually want, without being conditioned by the situation of the plugs in the room, calling an electrician if necessary.

In the garden: not literally in the garden, but inside it. You can be anything from a gazebo or shed prefabricated construction to real small. Usually it is legal to build a kind of gallery to give the terraced garden to win a stay, although it should be consulted. It should also be sure it is fully isolated, even if it costs a little more, and invest in floor heating and double glazing, to use it all year. You can put a skylight in the roof to take advantage of natural light. Make sure that the closure complies with the requirements of home insurance and even consider putting security windows in case of having expensive equipment.
