Want to Set-Up a Remote Home Office?
Setting up a home office? Did your full-time job just approve you to remotely work from your home? Or, do you just need more privacy and peace and quiet than your busy kitchen can offer and you want to relocate your home office to another room of your house.
Consulting with a Home Office System expert is a great idea in the beginning stages to see what the latest trends are, items are available for storage and organizational tools, and how to make it all fit in your budget.
Here are the steps you will want to take:
Select the Perfect Space
Review the rooms and functions allotted for each in your home and select the perfect space for you and your new office. Will you be using this room for multiple purposes or a true dedicated office?
Work Area
Planning out your actual work area is very important and will set the stage for which direction that you go in and what items you’ll need to purchase and set up. Do you want a view outside or to have inspirational sunlight beaming in?
Organizational Storage and Surface Space
Storage and surface space are key to design as well as specially designed items like PC cabinets, file cabinets, keyboard slides, corner cabinets, crown moldings, glass doors, lighting, valances, corkboard, disc files and TV areas. Laminates and hardwoods are available in different finishes and work surfaces for home offices in mica, solid wood, corian or stone.
Electrical
You’ll need convenient electrical connections to your work space.
Phone / Fax Line / Cable
Do you have a telephone line and cable installed in the space for your telephone, fax and internet?
Temperature
Start with proper temperature control in the space or bring in an HVAC company to discuss options.
Lighting
Consider the lighting options in your room – overhead, lamps, etc. You’ll want proper lighting to reduce eye strain and make the environment feel good.
Flooring
Your desk chair will be moving around in the space, so flooring should be a hard surface, at least near the desk.
Window
If you are lucky enough to have a window in your room, you’ll need to select window coverings that will allow you to control the light in your area.
With all of the thoughts, ideas and wondering how you are going to accomplish your goals, consider talking with a local Home Office System expert to give you the direction and tools to get your home office set up exactly how you want it.
