3 things that make a great home office

1. A room with a view

Natural light and a pleasant view are both great for motivation. Positioning a desk in a way which allows you to look out of the window will do wonders for your mood. Being able to open the windows and let the fresh air inside is another feature which has its benefits. Even in the heart of Brooklyn (as the office pictured is) a home-worker can find a sanctuary in a space that has more than just the Vista that comes with Microsoft.

2. Personality

Now I am not a lover of clutter, but having a few of your favourite things around you is important. Just as important is an evironment that reflects your own personality. This is something that you can't always control if you work in a corporate space. At home, you have flexibility to customise your space to fit how you work best. Art, photographs and a colour scheme that suit you are all there to make work less of a chore.

3. Storage

We all need space, but we also all have stuff. Ample storage is what makes a spacious and clean room possible. Built in storage is a not just a luxury, but more like a necessity for a fully functioning workspace at home. Being able to put away your paperwork at the end of the day means you can take back ownership of the space and use it for relaxing too.
