Setting up and designing a home office doesn’t have to be difficult or overwhelming. By planning ahead, selecting the ideal space and finding the right furniture, you can make the process easier.

Ask yourself some important questions

Before you decide where in your home to set up your home office, carefully evaluate every room and ask yourself a few questions:

* Will you actually work in this area?

* Will distractions be kept to a minimum?

* Is there ample lighting?

* Is there enough room for all of your equipment, files, and supplies?

* Writing desks from Hooker are laptop, keyboard and wire-management ready Are there enough electrical outlets?

* Would it be difficult to run a phone line and Internet access into this space?

By answering these questions, you will identify the best space for a home office.

Functional furniture should fit home décor

Invest in functional furniture that fits the décor of your home. Whether you want a simple writing desk with a lap drawer for supplies, or a large desk with drawers for supplies and files, determine whether the piece is functional, and whether it matches your décor. When purchasing furniture, look for an ergonomically correct desk and chair as well as a bookcase to store reference and business books.

If you have limited home office space, or you need to “close up shop” at the end of the day, a Computer Cabinet or a computer armoire with enough space to house your office equipment is ideal. Plan ahead by measuring your space before you buy any new furniture, making sure it will fit through a doorway or stairway.

What arrangement works best for you?

Decide which of the five basic furniture arrangements for your home office is best for you: L-shape, Parallel, U-shape, corner, or reverse corner arrangement. The L-shaped work area allows you to store equipment off your desk and move it onto a secondary surface; the U-shaped work area makes it simple to keep everything within reach on three surfaces; the parallel layout positions your desk facing into the room with your secondary surface behind you; the corner arrangement and reverse corner arrangement include a desk with returns on each side. The desk faces into the corner or out into the room.

File storage can be beautiful

Be creative with file storage. Instead of using a grey, metal file cabinet to store your files, find other alternatives. You could store files inside a decorative wooden trunk, within a piece of furniture that is disguised as a storage chest, or inside a storage ottoman with a lid that doubles as a seat. Set up an easy-to-use filing system using hanging folders for main categories with interior (they’re cut lower than manila) folders inside. Lateral file cabinets like those offered by Hooker Furniture are designed so well, no one would even know they are a file cabinet. This Preston Ridge file cabinet, for instance, would look lovely in a living room, hall or beside a bed.
