Setting up a
home office
The need for home office spaces has increased as more people work from home. Many people have retrofitted various spaces around their homes into areas to get work done. Individuals can follow these guidelines to create effective, organized home offices.
SPACE TO WORK. You may not have a room for a private office, but you can create space by thinking creatively. A seldom-used closet, guest bedroom, space under the stairs or quiet area of a larger room can be converted into a workspace. Make sure there is enough room for a proper chair to move comfortably as well as a space dedicated to a printer. DESK AREA. A desk is your primary need – a place that can hold your computer, pens and pencils, baskets and bins for larger items such as files, as well as a surface to write
on. You can go as simple as two cabinets with a wooden surface spread across them to a full-fledged desk. PLENTY OF SHELVES. To keep your workspace clutter free, make sure you have plenty of shelving that is sturdy but functional. COMFORTABLE SEAT. Find a chair that is comfortable, the right height and provides back and arm support. LIGHTING. Proper lighting is very important to help reduce eye strain. Make sure any lighting is installed over your reading area, on the computer and behind to eliminate reflection. By planning your home office space, getting it organized correctly and decorating it in your style, you’ll work better and enjoy it more. 001517702r1
