I work full time from home although I do travel to visit clients from time to time as required. The room I use was meant to be a dining room - though it is too small to be a proper dining room. It is only 9 feet by 17 feet and has 2 doors (kitchen and living room access) taking up valuable wall space. Luckily in my industry I don't need too much in the way of filing cabinets, so just 2 do the job. I have 2 desks in there plus a number of other basic office style cabinets I bought flat pack years ago. The room also has to house my tools (a lot) and I tend to keep my bicycles in there too, which I shouldn't as it makes it overcrowded. There is a store for the bicycles but it isn't convenient to use. If I have visitors then I either put the bicycles away in advance or we use the living room, which is more common. My wife works in an office and our son is grown up and not living here, so no clashes there. For most of my work I simply need a notebook on wifi and a mobile phone but the office has a couple of pcs, a multipurpose all in one colour laser printer and a shredder. The second desk is used as a work bench when working on stuff that needs testing and/or repairing. I deal in high tech small equipment. No stock is held, which is good for cash flow and for keeping security risks down. I love working from home due to convenience. I deal with companies all around the world so working from home means I can leave off and when I need to connect in real time to people the other side of the world I just walk back through into the office again and everything is there. To me that is better than having an office and then either having to go back there for a 10pm video call or have it from home and find the details I need are in the office. What I dislike is the lack of company. It can be lonely working from home. My wife works in a large company and they have all sorts of facilities for the staff. Gym, squash courts, room for health classes (yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Qong etc.), cafeteria and so on. They also have all sorts of clubs and other team activities. I miss that side of office life, but then not many get to work in such large office communities. The setup works for me but I don't think working at home would suit everyone. You have to know yourself quite well before making the change.

Hello, I think you have got an easy job actually. Your room looks very pretty the way it is, a bit of an arrangement will take it where you would like to see it. I was collecting some inspirational images for you, so that you can see that there are other home offices as well of the same style, with beautiful flooring and nice windows. If I was you I would add different style furniture and some decoration. You could consider having integrated shelves where the chimney breast is, a seating area would be a great addition too.

I voted for separate building, even though I have nowhere to put it. I never make any progress if there is another person in the house.

Congratulations on the new job! So it's worth considering what you will need in terms of space and storage. How many monitors/screens will you need? How much storage/filing space will you want? Does it need to house a printer or any other equipment. It can be pulled together really simply with a built in desk and trestle legs or you can look for off the shelf pieces to fit. Orientation of the desk - nice to look out of a window whilst working but think about when the sun hits the room and whether it will be ok or too much for you. Colours for offices - again it's worth thinking about whether you will be doing lots of online meetings and what your backdrop should be. also which way the room faces (NSEW) as the colour can then be chosen. Take a look at my blogs here for some quick tips on colour: https://www.denlifeinteriors.com/post/6-quick-tips-to-help-choose-the-right-colours-for-your-home And also don't forget the lighting too! It can have a huge impact (especially in the winter months). If you'd like some support I'd be more than happy to help but otherwise good luck with everything! Tor
