• Locating the proper space to use for a home
  office is the most important part of the process.
  Your office should be cozy, inviting, and free of
  distractions. Look for an area of the home thats
  not only quiet and well-lit, but also large
  enough for the projects you plan to complete. You
  can use an extra bedroom, convert a living room,
  or even transform a garage or storage space.

• Most home offices require only a computer and a
  connection to the internet. Even if the bulk of
  your workload happens using a desktop, youd be
  surprised how quickly other office supplies can
  accumulate on your desks top! Client pamphlets,
  writing utensils, and even phone chargers are
  some of the items that can add clutter to a home
  office. Take action with a simple desk cubby for
  errant paper clips, or a rack of shelves to hold
  books and other tools.

• When organizing your home office, consider
  whether the space will need to serve as a meeting
  place for clients. If you plan to host meetings
  frequently, make sure there is ample space for
  seating. Try to incorporate a conference area
  with a table and plenty of chairs. If your office
  is on the small side, you can even get creative
  with folding or collapsible furniture. Even with
  ordinary furniture, you can add personal touches
  like desk trays for paper and writing utensils,
  or decorate with plants and table centerpieces.

• Home office needs vary by industry. Those who
  make a living through a trade like clothing
  fabrication or product design will likely need a
  large space for production, in addition to a
  smaller desk area for clerical tasks. On the
  other hand, if youre a freelance writer who
  occasionally works from home, your office will
  surely require much less space.

• For most work-at-home professionals, an office
  requires little more than a computer, phone, and
  printer. This setup means there is less equipment
  to coordinate. However, it doesnt mean you cant
  benefit from a little organizational how-to
• Use power strips to keep cords close at hand.
• Keep your desktop devices in one place with the
  MobileVision Executive Stand and Charging
  Organizer from CE Supply Store. It is compatible
  with Apple and Android devices, and can organize
  smartphones, tablets, and laptops neatly in one
  spot.
• Keep writing utensils and small supplies close by
  with a desk organizer or pencil cup.
• Pick up an inexpensive corkboard or whiteboard to
  track projects and important dates.
• Use color-coding to create order for filing
  cabinets, cords, and more.

• If your business produces handmade items, a
  larger home office is a must. You can use room
  partitions or careful furniture placement to
  create multiple rooms in one open-air office
  space. For example, arrange desks to form a
  computer corner for answering emails or listing
  new products online. Organization is a must even
  in larger spaces, so keep your workspace in order
  with a Bamboo Stand and Charging Organizer with
  Extension.

• For some home offices, separation from other
  family members is a must. Many work-at-home
  parents, however, choose to incorporate their
  children into the workday. Most parents who work
  from home find that structure is key. Keeping a
  tight schedule will make sure you get all your
  work done without distractions and without
  sacrificing family time.

• If you work at home only a handful of days a
  week, your home office needs may be simple.
  Chances are, you require a space that can
  alternate between work space and living space,
  such as a dining room table that can become a
  computing desk at a moments notice. Get creative
  with rollaway storage and furniture, so you can
  quickly clear away work clutter when its time to
  entertain guests.
