Nowadays, working from home and/or online are the new work normals.

The next logical (as if there was anything logical in 2020?) step after securing your work from home or online job is to have a place in your beloved abode where you can work relatively comfortably and undisturbed.  This is why many online and home workers decide to renovate a room in their homes to offices. But, which room should you convert and how should it be done? Here are some tips.

An office should have lots of natural light. Natural light has been shown by many studies to lessen stress and eye strain. It also puts people in a relaxed mood which leads to increased work effectiveness.  That said, find a room in your house where there is a big window that allows natural diffused light to come in the whole day because that would be a good area for your home office.

A home office with a large window and a good view outside. Working at home either online or as a freelancer would inevitably lead to eye strain, mental fatigue and stress. For these moments, experts say it helps to follow the 20-20-20 rule which means that for every 20 minutes, you have to look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. A large window would let you do that without even leaving your chair. A good view like mountain tops, trees or an unhindered view of the sky relieves stress and mental fatigue. If you have a room with these views, but with a small window, you can have a renovation company increase the window size.

A good office set-up. While it may be cheaper to use a small table and chair as your office set-up, it may soon become cluttered with anything from coffee cups, papers and other things that you use for work. Having a bigger table would be a good idea. In fact, for maximum convenience you can have a renovation company install a wide table permanently in place.  Other things you should install in your new office are shelves and cabinets to keep your work materials organized, especially if your tasks involve a lot of paperwork.

Your very own toilet. Having your own toilet installed in your home office would come in handy during work crunch time when deadlines are near and you do not have time to wait for another person in the common toilet to get out. It may be a little expensive, but it is totally convenient, time-saving, and worth it.

Working at home is now our normal.  If you want to maximize your productivity, it is recommended that you have your own office at home. A renovation company can help you greatly with the changes in a room as you convert it to a place of work.
