We live in a time when leaving the office at 5pm does not necessarily mean the end of the working day. Many of us will continue picking up our work emails late into the evening and at weekends. In addition to that, since 1998, the number of people regularly working from home has increased by a staggering 45%. So whether you use it as the base for your business or to finish off work out of hours, having a fully equipped home office has become essential.
Now if you do not have a spare room available in your home for an office space, you may think that creating dedicated workspace is not realistic. However, you may be surprised at what is possible with even the smallest of areas. Here are a few tips to help you on the way to creating the perfect office space in your home:
Use All Of The Space You Have Available.
If you are fortunate enough to have a spare room available in your home, we can help you to maximise every inch of the space you have. Our bespoke furniture is tailored to meet the individual dimensions of your room and this means we can work around such features as fireplaces, chimney breasts, alcoves and radiators.
Unfortunately not everyone has this sort of space, but that does mean a home office is beyond you. In the past we have created useful office space in areas as small as a closet, so with a little thought and careful planning it is possible to create working space in the most unlikely of locations.
Declutter Your Work Space
They say that an untidy desk is the sign of a creative mind. However, the last thing you want is a stack of files 2ft high and cables for all of your gadgets strewn across your desk. At Mirror Image, we can incorporate a number of useful solutions into the design of your furniture to ensure that everything is carefully tidied away. These include:
- Keyboard shelves
- Cable trays
- Pop up power points
Do Not Skimp On the Storage Space
Judging how much storage to include in your office design is a challenge, but definitely something worth thinking about. It pays to consider how your requirements are likely to expand in the future. You therefore want enough storage space to expand into, without leaving you with rows and rows of empty shelves. When designing your furniture we can offer you a range of useful and innovative storage solutions, including:
- Adjustable shelving units
- Fitted filing drawers
- Bookcases
- Display cabinets
So when it comes to creating the perfect office, the design possibilities are almost endless. Throw in a couple of plants, some homely touches and good lighting and you will have yourself a working environment that you are happy to spend time in!
It does not matter how large or small your space, at Mirror Image we have a solution to meet your requirements. To discuss the furniture we have to offer, do not hesitate to call in and see us at our showrooms in Norwich and Cambridge.
