When you moved into your current house, no doubt at the time it was perfect, and maybe you had a room in mind even more perfect for your home office space. However, as time passes, children may burst into your life, or other situations cause for the room to be full of everything but your files, PC and work equipment.
Imagine your office being separate from your home, but still just a two second walk away. A place where you can be productive and organised, shut the door and lock out any noise, yet still be a part of the household and keep an eye on the kids- sounds like heaven? The perfect solution to your work and family needs could be the garage!
Space for Office Needs
Sometimes renting out an office space can be restrictive, giving you only a small amount of space, and often in a busy environment, with other people passing through and by your work space. Although this can be a great solution for many due to its convenience, and the fact that it is away from the home, giving you the feeling of going to work, for others it isn’t the peaceful haven enabling you to fully concentrate.
Many of these facilities also are manned by a reception and will only operate between certain hours- mostly working hours. Dependant on the nature of your work, you may get a creative burst in the evening or early morning. If you work at an external office, you don’t have the opportunity to open up the laptop and jot down your thoughts.
Costing
Renting an office space can rack up a hefty price tag, from the get-go. Before you even consider staffing, utility costs and even your lunch break the total you are spending can seem very daunting. If you choose to convert your garage into a home office, you avoid any of these financial scares!
By utilising your garage space, you don’t need to pay extra electric bills, extra maintenance, maybe even a cleaner- you don’t even have to think about the extra added costs of the coffees and lunch breaks- because if you are at home, your kettle is waiting to be boiled, and the bread is waiting to be made into a sandwich. You could even put a washing load in while you’re at it!
Your Designs
Another great benefit of having your own space for your office space is that you can do what you please with the interiors! If you need a space for clients to wait and have a coffee, you could create that space. Colours can make an enormous difference to the look of an office space with certain shades even proved to improve mood and productivity.
Consider what type of business you are running and whether you will have clients over for meetings and adjust the interiors around these factors. If you are a creative business, why not give a splash of colour and some plants?
