Working from home or teleworking may be a way a life for now or may be the indefinite trend for many. Either way, organizing to work from home is significant. Many of us do not have the space or budget to transform an entire room into an office or want to spend an entire half day reconfiguring between office and living room. Organize your telework space so that it functions around your home life.
One of the first things you need to determine is how much space you need and how much time will be spent working in the space. Find out if teleworking is temporary or now incorporated into your regular work schedule. If all you need is a laptop, your solution may be relatively easy. If you need additional work equipment or larger pieces of workspace furniture, organizing could be more challenging but doable.
After you have determined the space, time spent and equipment needed, contemplate whether or not the furniture and accessories can serve a dual purpose. Can that coffee table, with the space underneath, be used as storage? Storage requires creativity when making it multi-functional. Think of ways to be efficient when storing items. You’ll be surprised about the dual purpose you will discover.
Can the dining room table serve as your desk? Beautiful art or your favorite colorful portrait always makes a lovely backdrop for your zoom meetings no matter where you decide to set up your office.
If you have a flexible budget, the options are endless, gorgeous built-in cabinets, a brand-new home office, hidden rooms behind camouflaged doors, the possibilities are endless. So, let’s get creative together and make a beautiful home office workspace.
