5 Things to Consider When Setting Up a Home Office


What are your functional needs?

What kind of tasks do you need to perform as part of your day? Consider your needs for privacy, quiet or computer time.

What are your equipment and storage needs?

It all needs to fit in your new home office so you can work freely.

Consider your lighting.

Lighting plays a big role. Layer your light so that your task spaces are well lit.

Does the office need to serve other functions?

Will this space also be used as a guest room or as a gym, kid’s study or crafting space?

How do I make this office feel good?

It is important that you love the space. What is a color or pattern that brings you joy? Do you need the room to inspire creativity or calm you? Do you need back or leg support? These are exactly the questions we would ask when we start to design a home office.
