This is Natalie L's ideal office! I am there with colors, floors and windows - just need to upgrade some furniture stat!

I was inspired to gather this info today for all of you fellow home office peeps! I truly and honestly believe that a good work setting can inspire creativity, relax you, and make you happier overall. But don't forget comfort. My fellow workaholics, a good chair, mouse pad, and other things are vital to long term body health. So, take a quick read from our friends at www.homeofficebuddy.com and get busy in setting up your work haven asap!

Why do you need to evaluate and remediate your home office? Simply because you're going to be spending a lot of your day there and it's really important to plan your working environment and design a home office that works for you and with you. There ain't nothing worse than working in an office that you hate. You probably had to work in a crummy office in your 9 - 5 but why put yourself through it when you can design your own perfect work space? Your home office space should be truly all about YOU. It can be whatever you can imagine.

My guess as to what Shellie's home office dream would be maybe! (But with way more monitors and a view of the ocean!)

Simply putting a desk and a chair in the corner of a room and planting yourself in front of a computer isn't any way to work. If you're going to take your own business seriously then you need to take your home office seriously too - especially if you might have clients visiting your office at any stage.

Most people setting up their first home office take very little time to consider the fact that how they plan and setup their office might affect their business. Setting up a home office is not something to be taken lightly or just taken for granted. It's your business premises and needs to be designed and laid out professionally - regardless of whether or not people will actually visit it. You're going to be working in this environment for several hours each day so make it the best it can be.
