There are many advantages when it comes to working from home such as having a flexible schedule and saving time and money from the daily commute. But to be able to become more successful in working from home, having a home office with a good working environment is important. It’s because if your home office is too casual or if it’s not separated from your home environment, it might hinder in your productivity.
If you will be starting to work from home, or if you have a new business, here are some guidelines in setting up your home office.
Equipment and Home Office Needs
It’s important to make a detailed list of all the equipment and home office materials you need. This can include a desk, a computer, a telephone and more. Knowing all the things you need will be able to help you figure out how much space you need for your home office.
Also, while you’re making your list, try to think about the ways in which you plan to use those things in your home office. You should not pay for an equipment that you won’t use on a daily basis.
Dedicated Area
After figuring out all the things and equipment you need, the next thing you have to choose is a dedicated area in your home for your office space. Since you know the things you will put into your office, you now have an idea on how much room you need.
It’s important to choose a quiet space in your home where there is a door to filter the noise from other parts of the house. This is essential especially when you share your house with your spouse and kids. If your work or business involves meeting with clients, it’s better to choose a room that is near the main entrance of your house.
Lighting
Another essential thing to have in a home office is good lighting. It’s better to choose a room with a window that allows more natural light to come in as possible. It’s because daylight is the most evenly balanced source of white light. But if there’s no daylight or window available, it’s better to use a combination of general light and task light.
General, overhead lights can fill most of your home office, then adding task lights such as desk lamps and floor lamps can give concentrated lighting to your specific work area. Also, make sure that the position of your computer screen prevents glare from occurring to avoid getting your eyes strained.
Privacy
To increase productivity, it’s better to work in an office space that is free of noise and other interruptions. Aside from choosing a room with a door, you can also use bookcases as a divider wall to reduce the outside noise. In addition to being a divider, it is also a great storage solution.
If your chosen room doesn’t have any doors, you can use a signage that says, “Do not disturb” or “Quiet Please”. This will help remind your housemates to be quiet when they’re near your home office.

Balance Your Workspace and Storage Space
If your home office has a limited amount of space, you can still maintain a professional looking office by organizing it well. You can do this by planning a space that will give room to your storage files and supplies and at the same time plenty of room for you to spread out and work.
The important thing you should keep in mind when organizing your things is that the very important things or the supplies and files you often use should be easily accessible. You can place all the important things you need on your desk together with your laptop or computer. Put all your writing instruments in one place by using pencil cups or trays. If you have a lot of things to keep, it’s better to choose a desk with built-in drawers and cabinets.
Ergonomics
Just like any other workspace, you should also think about your health and safety when setting up your home office. It’s essential to choose items which are ergonomically designed such as chairs, foot rests, ergonomic mouse instruments, soft keyboard pads, and more. These things will help enhance your work experience while reducing stress from your body, making you more motivated and productive. It’s good to invest in these things for your home office because they can make you feel comfortable while working.
