Why You Should Consider an Office Addition for Your Home

By Kelly Drill | July 1, 2009

Top Three Reasons Why a Home Office Addition Might Be Right For You

  1. If you’re tired of running your business from your kitchen or table, it’s time for you to consider an office addition for your home. Experts agree that it’s important to keep your professional and your personal lives separate. But working from home makes it easy to blur the line. With an office in the middle of your kitchen or family room, it’s often tempting to gravitate toward work during family time and vice versa. Moving into a separate office space helps you to draw the line between work and play, and makes room for dinner at the table!

    An office addition lets you spread out and get organized.

  2. Professionalism requires peace and quiet. With so many of us working from home, we are now faced with new and different challenges when it comes to communicating. Neither your co-workers nor your clients are interested in listening to the kids play in the background while you’re trying to conduct a meeting. With an office addition, you can create a quiet, professional environment in which to conduct your business. Your office can even include a separate, exterior entrance that will allow you to meet with clients or customers face-to-face without disturbing your family!
  3. An office addition lets you spread out and get organized. You simply can’t do your best work when you’re feeling cramped, and you can’t work at all when you can’t find your paperwork. With enough room for ample filing, multiple work surfaces and plenty of storage, an office addition will help you keep your paperwork in order and your mind free from clutter.

    I work from home and agree that it's very frustrating when little children are running around underfoot. Putting an office in the garden is sometimes an option, but then you need to leave the kids alone in the house. If you have the space, building an extension that allows you to keep an eye on things - but has a strong lock to keep prying eyes out - is the best option.
