Simple Ways to Design Your Home Office Space for More Productivity and Enjoyment

MEETING IN PROGRESS
Keep your home office space more productive with
signs that let others know you are working!

The number of work-from-home entrepreneurs has grown exponentially in recent years. If you’re thinking about starting a company from home, you live at the right time, thanks especially to today’s user-friendly and affordable—if not free—tech tools.

What’s more, you can build a business in almost any industry without ever having to rent office space. Of course, you will need a stellar office environment that facilitates safe and productive work and meetings—both in-person and virtual.

Here are a few tips FOR home office design THAT IS NOT ONLY FUNCTIONAL, BUT HIGHLY PERSONALIZED FOR YOUR OWN STYLE!

Your Business’s Foundation

Your office space needs to be functional, especially if you’re considering starting your own business. Starting a business in Arizona can be both profitable and flexible, so if you have a good idea, look into the paperwork you need to file to get your Employer Identification Number (EIN) and get things moving.

Consider the Layout       

Your business will center around productivity, and, as House Beautiful points out, you want your home office to be an environment that fosters productivity. Think further than stashing a desk in the corner of your living room. Try to create separation so that you can have the space necessary to work comfortably and hold in-person and virtual meetings.

Also, look into various storage solutions that can ensure you have everything you need without cluttering the space. The possibilities are endless, whether it means buying attractive storage bins, installing a shelving unit, or dedicating your built-in closet to keeping inventory. This is a pretty multi-use home office option for more storage, filing and a place to put your printer!

GOOD TIP FOR CREATING MORE VALUE IN YOUR HOME:
If you have any plans to sell your house in the coming years, understand that creating a fully-functional office could raise the appraisal value. But to take advantage, you must document all of your projects. Each time you make an update, take before-and-after photos and keep the receipts for the materials and services you purchase.

Simplify Your Process

Redesigning your office space is an excellent opportunity to examine other aspects of your business. You may find that you have tools or processes in place that add unnecessary steps or expenses, and the redesign can afford you the chance to change things up.

For example, you may find that you’re paying for invoicing software that you don’t actually need. You can cut it out, and use an online invoice maker when you need to craft the occasional invoice. You can even create a customized invoice design for your business featuring your logo and color scheme. It’s a great way to save money and make your operations leaner.

If you find yourself working with multiple PDFs, you can practice some digital simplification as well. To cut down on digital clutter and keep frequently used items together you can combine PDF documents into single files. This can prevent you from having to keep multiple windows open when you need to reference important information. You can also rearrange pages as needed.

Boost the Lighting  

The ideal home office will have plenty of natural lighting. Sunlight boosts productivity and yields a plethora of mental health benefits. Try to position your primary work area at or near a window and keep your window treatments drawn throughout the day.

NEED A MORE LIGHT IN YOUR HOME OFFICE? Use a direct “daylight” desk lamp to create a brighter space that is easy on your eyes.

Opt for a soft-glow desk lamp if you need additional lighting for your home office. This will ensure that you can stay concentrated on the tasks at hand, and it will also help you look more professional during video conferencing.

Facilitate High Quality Audio

Audio is another critical aspect of video conferencing. If you are not using a spare room, garage, or another separate space for your home office, you may need to invest in extra equipment to ensure that all participants in your virtual meetings can hear you clearly.

Research various microphones, and leave room in your budget to invest in one that will suit your needs. Here’s a microphone with over 30K good reviews and under $30!

>> GOOD POINT: Consider soundproofing your space to minimize external noise and allow you to have private internal meetings.

Small Business Trends notes that another idea is to put up room dividers. Along with sound-proofing your space, it can help you define your work zone. While you’re at it, look into any other technologies (e.g., accounting software, payment apps, project management tools, etc.) that can minimize the need to meet with team members and clients in person.

Keep it Ergonomic      

Lastly, make sure all of your furniture and equipment sit at the proper height—or can be adjusted—so that you can work comfortably without compromising your health.

Otherwise, you could be putting unnecessary stress and strain on your body, which can lead to low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, hip pain, eye strain, headaches, and other conditions. Research desk heights, computer positions, monitor heights, chair positions, and other measurements to ensure you are working ergonomically.

You’re in for many benefits as a work-from-home entrepreneur. It’s important that you ensure you have a home office that will foster productive work and meetings. Start with the tips above, and keep researching other strategies for designing the perfect workspace for your business. In no time, you will be building a company in a field you love without stepping foot from your house!
