Home Offices a Great Place to Work It is estimated over 50 million people now work from home. Choosing the best location for a home office while fulfilling the needs of your budget, privacy, access and available space can be difficult.

Existing rooms can be converted to a suitable office space.

Basements : Probably the number one place to add a home office. Walk-in basements offer the advantage of outside access and natural light. Basements offer easy access to electrical panels and other utilities. Address water problems before any office conversions.

Attics : Attics generally offer a wealth of unused space. However, access may present a problem. Structural concerns must be addressed in the floor system as well as structural issues with the roof system.

Bedrooms : Spare bedrooms can be converted into home office space. Closets can easily be converted into office storage space. Bedrooms are most appropriate for private office space where clients will not be visiting unless the room is located far enough away to alloy for quiet and privacy needs.

Hints:

When planning a home office its is better to have two many electrical and phone outlets than to few. Install separate circuit breakers that are equipped with surge protectors to protect all your computers and electronics. Select flooring that will have low levels of static electricity- computers and other equipment can be vulnerable to static electricity. You will need to rebalance or add to your heating and cooling system. If you add a separate system install a programmable thermostat to save money on you utility bills.
