Since the COVID-19 pandemic, more people than ever are working from home. While some may thrive under these conditions, others may find working from home extremely challenging. One way to make working from home easier is to ensure that you have a comfortable workspace.

As some of the best home builders in Sydney, we’ve noticed that many of our clients are requesting customised, private office spaces in their new home builds.

Whether you are planning on building a new home with office space in mind, or have to work with what you’ve got, here are a few things that you may need to make your working from home experience a comfortable one.

Enough Space

You don’t want to feel too cramped and confined in your office space. The amount of space that is necessary will also depend on the type of work that you do. But you should have enough space to move around in and to fit comfortable office furniture.

Reduced Noise

Try placing your office area in a part of the home that receives the least noise. Noise can be very distracting and stop you from getting your work done efficiently. Not to mention when receiving those important work calls, you’ll want a quiet place to talk.

Privacy

Your office should definitely have some degree of privacy. It should be regarded as a private space where family members or roommates are not constantly barging in on you. This is where it helps to have your office confined to a particular room of your home.

Wi-Fi

The chances are that you will need Wi-Fi in order to send and receive emails, do research, host video calls, etc. Wi-Fi is also a great investment for your entertainment needs after work hours.

Good Light

The right lighting is very important in any working environment. If the light is too harsh or dim, you could strain your eyesight and suffer from headaches. Natural light is always preferred, but because natural light may also be too bright at times, you will need to invest in curtains or blinds. Investing in good lighting in your office space is something that you won’t regret.
