How To Create The Perfect Garden Room Office
One of the main holdovers we still have from the global pandemic of 2020/21 is that many people are still working from home, and plan on doing this permanently. Studies have shown that productivity isn’t affected, and can, in fact, increase, due to not having to commute, whilst working from home is useful for those with children, helping them to avoid the cost of before and after school clubs. Working from home does sound idyllic, but it does have some issues, particularly if you don’t have a dedicated space to work in. A garden room office can be a solution to this very problem.
There is an idea that any garden building could be transformed into an office, but whilst this is true, a bespoke garden room office is the ideal. You have to remember how many hours you are going to be spending in this space, and that you will be using it in all weathers, all seasons and at all times of the day. Therefore, you want a building that is weather proof and will be warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer, that can be light and airy, and will be a comfortable space that you actually enjoy working in, so that it will be conducive to your professional success.
A garden room can be as small or as spacious as you want it to be. It could be a single room, big enough to host a desk, chair and filing cabinet, or a suite of rooms – for instance with a kitchen area, or a small bathroom to really give you a space you can stay in rather than needing to keep going back to your home. A company like Hawksbeck, who specialise in garden rooms, allow you to plot your needs virtually, so you can really visualise what you could do with your space, and how it would look in reality.
If you decide that a garden room office could be the answer to working from home, then you really need to decide what you actually need, equipment wise., in your office space. Nothing is too much, if you need a touch screen plasma with camera for conference calls and meetings, this can be done. If you need surround sound speakers, this is not a problem. If your office contains expensive equipment and confidential documents, a security system can also be installed offering you total piece of mind. In short, everything is possible.
A garden room office offers you the best of both worlds – you are able to work from home with all the benefits that brings but are also separated from your living quarters so you can truly focus on your work tasks. You can work hard, whilst enjoying the beautiful views of your garden, and if you need a break, you can simply step outside and enjoy the peace of your garden space.
We all work better in beautiful surroundings, and a garden room office offers the perfect environment to achieve our best results.
