More and more, Americans are beginning to understand the importance of work/life balance. Freelancers, small business owners, and those with passion projects know firsthand how hard it can be to remain organized, focused, and productive when working in shared spaces – which is why many have chosen to install an office right at home.
More Space Place Orlando has helped dozens of Florida families design their dream office. Read on for a selection of tips and tricks to create the space that’s right for you!
Home Comfort
Location is easily the best part of working from home. However, home offices don’t always feel like home – sometimes, they feel just as soulless as a work cubicle would. Don’t sacrifice style for storage!
Avoid resenting your workroom by matching the décor to the rest of your place. By incorporating familiar colors, patterns, and shapes into your office, you won’t feel quite as removed from your roots in your designated workspace as you might otherwise.
Above and Below
Organizational inclinations vary greatly person-to-person. Some prefer to place their things out of sight and out of mind, while others enjoy the ability to quickly locate important items. Regardless of your specific style, consider storing frequently-used items at the base of your office for quick retrieval and lesser-used items for storage above.
If you prefer to conceal your clutter…
- Above: Cabinets for lesser-used items
- Below: Drawers for frequently-used items
If you prefer to display your productivity…
- Above: Shelving for lesser-used items
- Below: Desk space for frequently-used items
Lay of the Land
Every individual’s needs are different, and there’s no one-style-fits-all approach to a home office. Are you an artist looking to install a home studio? A programmer that requires desk space for multiple monitors? A parent looking for a quiet getaway to read a new novel?
Make sure you’re getting what’s best for you, not what’s best for most. Find a design and installation team that considers your unique needs when creating your office space.
