Create a home office that works for you Add comfort and personal touches Megan Cole The Canadian Press VICTORIA — Being efficient in a home office means creating an environment that is built and designed for success. When Kara Reed, a real estate sales representative, moved into her new Toronto condo, she decided a well-designed home office was important. Even though Reed has an office in her work building, she still works from home daily, beginning and ending her day there. “I had always worked from home,” she said. “I just wanted a home office I felt at home in.

at home is in one filing cabinet,” she said. While creating a space

that is organized and efficient is important for a home office, Reed’s wish list also included a beautiful, well-designed space. She wanted it to have a modern feel but still have warmth. “The floors that I chose are reclaimed ash,” she said. “It is 100 years old and I loved it, so that’s where I spared no expense.” Reed’s office includes a lot of personal features, such as four clocks set to different time zones. Beneath each clock, the zone is labelled using letters from her grandmother’s Scrabble set. According to Michele Waters, career coach at Career Quest Coaching in Victoria, the design and setup of a home office is vital for success. “The space where the person works needs to be a lovely space to work within,” said Waters. “It needs to have a desk, computer and the other tools the person may need for their trade, rather than working off a kitchen table.”
