Working from home brings a whole range of benefits, including a flexible schedule, time saved on commuting and a better work/life balance. However, it can be tricky to manage if you do not have a dedicated space to keep your work separate from your home life and a home office in your garden can make all the difference.
Our range of garden buildings includes a versatile selection of garden offices that are designed to make working from home a pleasure, including garden offices with multi-use spaces so that you can incorporate a home gym or meeting area into your set-up. We can help you choose the best option for the space you have available to you and ensure that you create a space that really works for your home and your lifestyle.
Working from Home in Style
Working from home is easier if you can create a workspace that is not part of your general living area, allowing you to keep your work equipment safe and cultivating a more productive mindset. A dedicated workspace will help you to:
- Focus on your work. Having an area in which you can lay out everything you need in your working day and be sure that it will not be disturbed by children or pets is invaluable. This helps to keep your work orderly and also enables you to develop a productive approach when you are in your garden office, so that you can focus on your work more easily.
- Reduce distractions. There are many benefits to working from home, but one potential problem can be the many distractions posed by the daily tasks around you. It can be very tempting to put the washing machine on or clean the house during your working time, and this can eat into your productivity. A garden office is a great solution to this, ensuring that you separate domestic tasks from your working day by leaving them in the house while you work in your professional office space.
- Feel professional. If you work from home already, you’ll know how tempting it can be to work from your sofa or put off getting dressed. Working in a garden office can ensure that you feel like a professional, as you are spending your time in a clean and purpose-built space, and this can increase your productivity daily.
- Manage your workload. If you do not have a dedicated workspace, it is possible that you will find it hard to put your work down, and it will encroach on every area of your life. Having a garden office can help you to manage your workload so that you are realistic about what you can achieve each day, and you are more likely to be able to shut the door on your work when you are finished and ready to relax.
- Create a better work-life balance. Working from home enables you to create a schedule that works for you, with the flexibility to walk your dog, do the school run and take time out for your hobbies. Installing a garden office that helps you to organise and manage your workload means you can create the ideal work/life balance for yourself and your family, and this looks different for everyone.
- Simplify your expenses. If you are running a business or filing a tax return every year, you will know that managing your expenses can be a frustrating task. Building a garden office can help to simplify the task by keeping your business expenses separate, including your utility usage, hardware costs and sundries such as stationery and printing costs. Depending on the size of your business, this may represent a good amount of time saved and can help your business run even more efficiently.
Our range of garden offices includes designs with glass walls, open plan designs and designs with sliding doors. We will help you to work out your requirements and find the most suitable home office for your needs.
Top Tips for Working From Home
Working from home can transform your life and free up time to pursue your hobbies and see friends, and many things make it easier. Our top tips include:
- Effective time management. It can help to plan out your working day like you would if you were working in the office. For instance, making your lunch ahead of time and taking it with you to your garden office can ensure that you do not take snack breaks throughout your day and that you use your time more productively.
- Communicate with colleagues. Working from home can be isolating, and it is important to maintain communication with your team when you are working this way. This can ensure that you stay in the loop and feel involved in collaborative projects and team decision-making. If you can, try to arrange social meet-ups with friends and family around your working hours so that you do not feel lonely.
- Set yourself up for success. Ensure that you start work on time and dress professionally for your working day, even if you are self-employed or working on a flexible schedule.
- Make the most of your time. If you have flexible working hours or are self-employed, you can arrange your schedule to fit best with your natural body clock and your lifestyle choices. For instance, if you like to work late at night, it is possible to spend time during the day with friends or pursuing hobbies and then do the bulk of your work while those around you are sleeping.
A home office opens up a whole world of possibilities for your working life, from creating a beautiful meeting space to entertain clients to helping you manage your time more effectively. Whatever you want from your garden office, we are here to make your work-from-home dreams come true.
