A Positively Moving Experience
Making a home office
Whether you’re working from your living space on a full time basis, or simply spend your off work time working on personal projects, having a home office can help you stay productive. However, it can be hard creating a home office when you have limited space in your home. Here’s a guide to creating a home office from the residential space experts at Noah’s Ark.
Closet Space
You can easily repurpose a closet as a home office. Depending on how big the closet is, consider taking off the doors. The simplest way to convert a closet into a home office is by running a flat piece of wood across the length of the space and placing a desktop inside it, along with any shelves, drawers, corkboards, or modular furniture that you may need. For privacy or if you want the home office to be unseen when not in use, use a tension rod and curtains to seal the space.
Rolling Portable Office
Consider getting a rolling office cart with drawers of file folders, places to keep ephemera, or even an expandable desktop. You can customize the cart to your specific space requirements and personal needs. We recommend starting with rolling drawers and adding a table top, magnetic spots, a whiteboard, and sets of hanging files. You could even include a power strip with a power cord for when you want to plug your cart’s belongings into a single outlet for power ups.
Corners
People often neglect the corners of their homes, which quickly become the home to dust bunnies and not much else. Corner office desks are widely available online, and are custom made for maximum space-conservation, practical use, and ergonomic comfort. All it takes a simple search online to uncover a plethora of options. So if you have a bit of a budget to spend prefabricated items, and an unused corner, this could be a super simple solution.
