Whether it’s a place to meet clients or a quiet space to work from home a few days a week, a well-thought-out home office is essential
Home office requirements come in various forms. If a space to operate your business is on the agenda, you will need one that addresses the needs of your business. Choose essentials such as a spacious desk with a comfortable work chair suited to hours of sitting; possibly some occasional chairs for greeting clients, suppliers or for staff meetings, and a sofa and break-out table and chairs for brainstorming and creative work.
For the less-frequent home office user, the same principles apply. Comfort is key, however, your selections may encompass more decorative elements.
Whatever your functional needs, try to position your office in an area of the house that offers a serene view or overlooks a garden. During high-stress moments, the tranquility provided by nature will initiate calm.
