I was fascinated the other day when my eight year old granddaughter began describing to me what she thought the next Huntsville home her parents purchase should include. She mentioned a 2 two story six bedroom home she said that two of the bedrooms to be used as offices, one office/craft room/homework room for the family and one office for father's business. Since I make a living working from my home office, this got me thinking of what is really necessary for a home office. From my experience, I think the following list is very practical and economic. Although a six bedroom home sounds unrealistic, many new homes in planned communities in the Huntsville real estate market have the capabilities of upgrading in size.
From my experience, I think the following list is very practical and economic.
Focus on making your office space practical and comfortable. Think about what space will provide you with the best working environment. So here is my list , note that number one and most important is a
- An Ergonomically designed Chair.
- A desk or table to work on.
- Decent lighting. Ideally, you would want a ceiling light and maybe a desk lamp.
- Electrical outlets are always essential. Power strips are extremely useful, but make sure they have surge protectors.
- An additional phone line, or broadband Internet, is important for most home offices.
- A telephone, whether it is a land line or your cell phone.
- Finally, you need plenty of storage.
- Sometimes a little radio or television can be useful to have, especially if you will be working there for a significant amount of time.
So if you are in the market for a New Home in Huntsville, keep in mind how simple it will be to furnish that office space that the new home features.
