According to a recent survey by the Office for National Statistics, 13.7% of the nation\u2019s workforce work from home. That\u2019s nearly 4 million people but how many of those individuals have an office fitted to meet their needs? <\/p>\n
Quite often working from home means using one of the main leaving spaces such as the kitchen lounge or even the bedroom. The problem is, this can be quite uncomfortable and distracting if a person is sharing a house with family members. <\/p>\n
This is unavoidable if the house is too small to be separated into dedicated work and living spaces, but if there is extra space then this can easily be turned into an office. It will even save money on office rental which can then be ploughed back into business growth.
\nSolutions include converting old stables into offices, garden rooms if the garden is big enough. <\/p>\n
The best home offices make creative use of space which provides a clear separation from home life. \u202fIt is much better to have a small space dedicated to work than have your office incorporated into a part of a dining room or kitchen for example. <\/p>\n
At least then you will have some kind of separation from home life. Also get yourself a dedicated office line rather than use your main house number. Constant calls from sales people can make life particularly uncomfortable when you may be relaxing after work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
