Your home office should be a place where you feel comfortable doing your best work day after day. A team of work-from-home veterans spent more than 150 hours researching and testing equipment for a variety of workspaces and picked out some great gear, including things we use daily in our own home offices.
The office is not the only work space that is evolving; a new level of electronic mobility — coupled with intense electronic dependence — is leading to changes in how homes are designed and how workspace is integrated into home life.
Ever dream of staying in your PJs on a rainy Monday or skipping rush hour to get a head start on dinner? Working under the restrictions of a corporate company can make these kinds of conveniences pretty difficult. Fortunately, for some, working remotely is becoming increasingly more common. Money recently released a new annual survey from the remote jobs website FlexJobs.com, which provides the names of the best companies to apply to if you're looking to telecommute (i.e. work from home).
The design, location and layout of your working space can impact your productivity, motivation, inspiration, mood and even your health. Below are some examples of wonderful home offices which must be a delight to work in and make the most of telecommuting!
From appropriated nooks to glass-encased rooms, each of these modern offices works a unique angle.
Mixed reality has the potential to allow a global workforce of remote teams to work together and tackle an organization's business challenges. No matter where they are physically located, an employee can strap on their headset and noise-canceling headphones and enter a collaborative, immersive virtual environment.
Some might describe standing desks as just another silly, overhyped fad, but for me, switching to one of these unconventional workspaces was nothing short of life-changing, and I know I'll never go back to a traditional sitting situation.
For those that telecommute or work from home, the division between work and life can be tricky. When are you off the clock? Designer Jonathan Odom has devised a physical signifier that makes the transition clear: His desk transforms, at day's end, into a bar.
More than half the businesses registered in the U.S. are now home-based. But few homes are designed and built to accommodate them. Most contemporary housing is designed solely as living space, without the demands of work in mind. People who work out of their homes are left trying to resolve conflicting needs in a single space: a business that’s open to clients on the same site as a private living area; a noisy workspace in proximity to places where the family needs to study, relax and have down time; potentially dangerous work processes in a place that needs to be safe.
A growing number of us are working from home these days, and an even larger number of us are looking for inspiration. We rounded up our favorite home offices to give you some “swoon-worthy” inspiration for your own work space.
Working from home is great...when you actually work. Often it’s tempting not to, like when Mount Laundry threatens to swallow your couch whole or this or that delicious distraction calls to you from the fridge. And that poor pup, pouting in the corner. Doesn’t he need to be walked? And, hey, who’s on Ellen today?
