10 Awesome Home Office Designs
Article by Nick Awkward
With the growing advancement of Internet technology, the concept of earning money while working from home is very popular. The idea of sitting in a cozy corner of the house, not bound to regular working hours, seems to fascinate everyone (including me).
However, working from home does not mean you can occupy just any corner of your house, set up your computer system and start working. Careful planning is the key to a flexible, efficient and multipurpose set up so you can work with full productivity. You need to analyze some factors to help you design a perfect home office for yourself.
- If you are sharing your workspace with other family members, keep their requirements in mind as well.
- Purchase the right chair, so you don’t get tired quickly.
- Look for a corner of the house, which can help you maintain your privacy.
- Arrange your work area in an “L” shape so everything is within your reach.
- Install the right lighting.
- Have sufficient shelving and/or big drawers in your workspace, so all important tasks are reachable.
- Hang a blackboard or soft board within easy reach to jot down important tasks of the day.
- Have a steady desk with a number of drawers.
- Get all the wiring and power cords organized and/or concealed in a neat way, so your office doesn’t look untidy.
- Have other things of \interest around (e.g., games, magazines) to comfort yourself when you’re stressed out.
It may seem like I’m restricting you to very specific “home office design” rules, but trust me: If you follow these guidelines, you will definitely enjoy sitting and working in your home office.

I had to giggle at “If you are sharing your workspace with other family members, keep their requirements in mind as well” because I added a twin bed to the back of my home office ostensibly so it could double as a guest room, but my two dogs have taken up residence there during my work day. So, as you can see, I have kept my canine family member requirements in mind with the home office design…
Just to add something useful, an ergonomic chair is a must. I invested in a Herman Miller Aeron, and it was probably the best home office expenditure I ever made.
