IF YOU ARE THINKING OF DEDICATING A PORTION OF YOUR HOME FOR OFFICE SPACE, DESIGN IT CAREFULLY TO CREATE A LONG-TERM ASSET

Designing your home office includes many elements to be considered.
Distance to the door
• If you are working out of your home it is likely that you would have clients flowing in and out. So ideally the proximity to the door should be such that it avoids going around the house. Choose a place that has direct access.
Privacy
• You don't want to work in the din and bustle of household chores where the TV is blaring, children are playing around and people are running to the kitchen to make food. So make sure you choose a place that keeps the privacy intact for you to work efficiently even out of your house.
Sound-proof
• A special sound-proof wall can help in keeping the extra sound at bay and bring some more peace to the work environment.
Power fix
• The electrical requirements of an office differ from those of a home. Power strips are not e n o u g h . You may re q u i re h i g h e r power consumption and should plan the equipment accordingly. In fact, it would be better to consult a technician and take an expert view on the same.
Furniture
• Theoffice space needs a definitive set of furniture to house your basic office ware. Be it files, folders, documents, books - there are many things that need to be stocked depending on the nature of the work. Make sure the equipment you require fits in to the space allocated for work. If the space is limited, you can opt for sleeker equipment.
Decorate
• The office may be at home but you can always decorate it tastefully to add some zing to the workplace, especially if you are going to be spending a lot of time here. Bring together some of your favourite artifacts and hang them up on your office wall or paint your office space in an exotic colour. Make it look different. QUICK BITES
