Functional Home Office Ideas

December 28, 2017

Create a Sleek, Functional Home Office. The regular work-at-home, non-self-employed population has grown by 115 percent since 2005, according to recent research. That translates to 3.7 million employees working from home at least half the time, while 40 percent more U.S. employers offer flexible workplace options compared to five years ago.

The benefits working from home offers are indisputable, but those often come at a cost when you find it difficult to turn off the clock and stop working.

Developing an organized work-at-home routine and creating an efficient work space to facilitate productivity is a must for those who telecommute. Choose a dedicated, efficient work space where you go specifically to get in the right frame of mind for the work day. Choose electronic and physical boundaries. Don't let office work spill out of the work space and resist the temptation to answer work emails during your personal time.

Be proactive and use technology to stay connected. There are many project management and collaboration options available that you can access via websites, apps or both. Make your work space a place you enjoy and surround yourself with things that make you happy.

Don't forget, it's important to keep your space organized for better productivity. Products such as storage furniture can transform a room into a stylish, functional work space. The line includes pieces such as desks, printer stands, bookshelves and more, so it's easy to keep things at your fingertips and store them neatly away at the end of the day.

Get up, clear your mind and stretch so you can return to your work space refreshed and energized for greater productivity. It's true that working from home brings plenty of advantages, but working from home also requires discipline. Maintaining a clean and organized workspace, keeping in touch and limiting distractions allows those who work from home the opportunity to be as successful as their in-office counterparts.
