Working from home is quite popular nowadays. Many love it because they can avoid driving in a snowstorm, others because they work freelance. No matter your working reality, we have tips to transform your space to your liking. It’s your house after all, you’re the boss!
If the room you work in serves different purposes, it’s a good idea to install a divider to isolate the sound or to close yourself off from any movement on the other side. A removable divider can be installed in a few hours and will bring a welcome change to your environment.
If you need a more occasional work space, why not install a long wooden shelve along the wall? All you’ll need to do is bring a chair and a laptop to finish the look. When your work is done, you can replace the accessories it usually holds and keep the decorative look going, as if nothing ever happened.
If all your rooms are occupied, it doesn’t necessarily mean that all of the house space is used to its full capacity. Encased shelves in a wall, in your closet or even under the stairs can do the trick.
If your workspace is part of a shared room, why not convert an old cabinet into a computer desk? All you need to do is add slidable shelves, install runners and drawers. Once the door is closed, you’ll be “back” home, with peace of mind.
Make an inventory of everything you need and plan the workspace accordingly. The more your space is organized and uncluttered, the more room you’ll have to think.
Many techniques exist to memorize important information and dates, like your deliverables and taxes.
Even if you wish to reduce your paper consumption, you’ll end up needing to print, scan and shred documents. To avoid accumulating too much paperwork on your desk, designate a space for your papers.
Even if you’re working from the laundry room, switch the laundromat ambiance to a workspace by decorating it accordingly. It’s great for morale and creativity.
