Perhaps congratulations are in order: your employer has embraced
21st-century technology and values quality of life so at last you’ve
ditched your time-wasting commute in favor of the joys of working from home, tapping
away online being even more productive amidst happy, familiar surroundings. Or
perhaps you are setting off on your own adventure in entrepreneurship or
freelance work, another exciting work option in the Internet age. Maybe you
receive clients or patients at your home. Or you might need a household command
station in the kitchen or a study room or nook to keep your young ones or budding
master’s student focused on lessons. Whatever your home office furniture needs,
Curly’s Furniture offers not only a selection of fine pieces in styles traditional
and ultramodern, but some design tips that have helped households like yours adjust
to this new era of employment. First, let’s consider the matter of size.
Small Home Offices
If what the realtor described as “cozy” is really “cramped,”
do not despair. Even if your square footage is extremely limited, so your new
home office can only occupy a wall or corner, it can still be attractive and
entirely functional. Fortunately for you, furniture manufacturers understand
this problem so they offer you ready solutions with multipurpose computer desks that
have built-in shelves, for instance. Drawers are a big help, as are amenities
that don’t take up space such as USB ports and electrical outlets. You can even
shoehorn a ready-made computer workstation into a tight space and let the
creativity and productivity flow!
Medium Home Offices
Suppose your home has some wiggle room but your home office
setup is modest, maybe still part of a room. No worries. Still consider versatility
when choosing your home office furniture but your options are a bit wider. Consider
an L-shaped desk for an office using about a fourth of the room, for example.
Again you can find shelves below the top so you save space and have enough room
to put your printer, lay out your blueprints and other documents, and even put
up a few mementos and awards like you had at your on-site office
Large, Dedicated Home Offices
If your home office space is big, good for you. Consider a
lovely credenza desk perhaps with a hutch. Or, if you work with others in your
space, a more personable yet impressive solution is a stately executive desk
featuring Old World design flourishes.
