It is really exciting starting an office at home. What can be more
fun that doing something you love from your home. Work that you
love at your personal setting. The best part is, you are your own
boss. You can work whenever you want and break free of the 9 to
5 time setting. To add to the delight, you get to design the office,
the way you want it. Your office can represent you, your
personality, your thought process.
But you need to be careful while designing the office. Yes, it is
your own space and your things, but stacking up everything in
your office would create a mess. But, choosing a selective few
articles can enhance the design of the home office. In our
excitement, many times we overdo things. But, too many things

Here are few things to avoid while designing home office:
Casual Design
Yes, it is your home office. But still is is an office.
While designing the home office, don’t give it
much of a casual look. Your client will be
coming to meet you in this office. So, if the office
gives a casual feel, it would have an adverse
effect on your impression, as the client would
think that you are causal in your approach.
Also, too much of relaxed ambience may put
you off the mood to work. Your home office
should have a professional look to it and should
be located in a right place. Stock it up with desk
accessories and workspace organizers to make
it easier for you to work.

Dull Walls
This is the best part of home office. You can
decorate it the way you want. But many times
we just forget about them, while designing the
office. A wall plays a huge part in creating the
right ambience of your office. Instead of
continuing with the plain colors of your home,
give your office different colors. Something
which would represent you. But, the colors
should be bright, or the office would look too
dark or dull. Also, put a rug on the floor, which
would make your office warm and inviting.

Poor Lighting
Bring a home office, you might think
continuing with the fluorescent lights
available at home. Don’t do it. The office
area should be bright or else people start
feeling drowsy. Think about adding a desk
lamp to brighten things up. As said earlier,
you have to choose a right place in the
home for your office. So, while installing the
lights, make sure that the lights and window
don’t put a glare on your monitor. Brighter
place increases enthusiasm.

Trendy Furniture
Don’t take furniture at home for your office. There is
a difference between home furniture and office
furniture. Explore a few shops before you actually
zero on something. You can get various designs of
office furniture at stores in Uniontown, PA. While
choosing furniture, we tend to select the trendy,
new in fashion, good looking furniture and don’t
even think about the comfort factor. Of course
good looking furniture is necessary, but with that
the furniture should be comfortable. Something
which you will be happy to sit on for hours together.
The chair should be cozy and warm. The majority of
office-goer face back pain problem due to
uncomfortable chairs. Also, the chair, desks and
other furniture should be of good quality which will
last long. Furniture should be a one time investment,
as spending money on it every few years is not
feasible.

Ignoring Storage
The most important factor in office, which we
usually forget about. While planning an office,
keep in mind the storage. The furniture you
choose, has to have cabinets and drawers to
keep your files and documents. If there are no
cabinets, the desk would be a mess with the
files and papers strewn on it. This is necessary to
keep the documents safe, which can get lost
anywhere in the office. Make sure, you have at
least one or two hidden storage.

place. And you won’t have to redesign it for many years ahead.
