Working from home is becoming a common place to set up office in Australia, with nearly one million people working from home daily. Working from home offers the convenience and flexibility of running your own business or helping out with a business in a familiar setting. We’ve created a guide with tips to help create your perfect home office.

• Creating An Office Nook

If you don’t have the luxury of sparing a room in your home to transform into your home office, then we suggest trying to find a corner or hallway area that you can use as a home office. If a premade desk doesn’t fit in your allocated space, then we also suggest investigating the price of having a custom desk made.

• Minimise Clutter

An efficient office is a well-organised office so minimising clutter is ideal for a home office. Finding storage containers, baskets and places to keep stationery is key to keep clutter away. Keeping your desk clear is important, as it will need to fit your computer and other necessary items.

• Finding The Perfect Electrical Units And Lights

Having sufficient lighting is necessary for setting up a home office. Having overhead lighting is ideal but it is also worth investing in a desk lamp. Setting up a home office does require additional power points however, so if your home office area is lacking them then we suggest contacting one of our experienced electricians to install one.

• Finding The Perfect Office Chair

Finding a chair that is comfortable is one of the important purchases when setting up your home office. When considering the best ergonomic office chair consider height, width and depth, support, material and the backrest. As you’ll be sitting in the chair for upwards of 8 hours a day, finding the perfect office chair is essential to creating your perfect home office.
