Claim your own space working from home
May 14, 2012
We can no longer dismiss working from home as a fashionable blip we will soon abandon. The figures speak for themselves: since 2001, according to the Live Work Network, the numbers of people working from home have risen 21 per cent. Today, one in 12 people in the United Kingdom run a business from their home. This tells us that living and working from home can be a successful choice for many.
Deciding to work from home can be liberating. Suddenly you see a lot more of your family, and hours spent on the daily commute can now be more effectively employed at work, or play. Your wallet and the environment will be better off without your constant travelling, and your work schedule can be more flexible. If you want to work in the middle of the night, you can. Equally, if there's a school sports day to attend, it's easier to make it.
Working from home does present some challenges. Creating the right environment is key to success. Attics, kitchen tables and spare rooms are all popular places for establishing workspaces, but there is no substitute for having your own private space.
Many people are finding that garden office buildings are the answer to their homeworking space problems. Specially-designed garden rooms in both contemporary and traditional designs can be easily installed in your outside space, giving you an instant office of your own. Often, planning permission is not necessary and if there are any issues of a planning nature, specialist companies such as OECO are able to offer expert advice and guidance.
Imagine a contemporary office wired up for modern telecommunications with sleek design, super-efficient insulation and all just a few steps from your back door. Today this is entirely possible and affordable, and explains why so many are turning to garden offices for workspace solutions.
