Floor Plan Shape & Size
Determine the size and shape of your home office. You can do this by choosing an empty room in your house that has a substantial amount of space or by allocating an area within a pre-existing space like your living room or den. It is recommended that your home office be at least 100 square feet. It can have a rectangular or circular shape as long as it is able to accommodate large and small pieces of furniture.
Desk Placement
Determine where you want to place your office desk. Some prefer to position their desk off to the side or against a wall. And others prefer to position it in the middle of the room. Where you place your desk will also depend on its size. Smaller desks can be placed in a variety of areas while larger desks have a limited amount of areas in which they can be placed.
Storage Placement
Consider the type of storage you want in your office and where you want to place it; you could use file cabinets, cupboards, or shelves. If you choose to use shelves, you can mount them on the walls as opposed to using a bookshelf; this will give you more floor space. It would be wise to consider how close you want your storage units to be; some prefer to keep their storage units at a distance while others prefer for them to be at arm’s reach.
Technology Placement
Think carefully about the type of technology you want when you are working from home and where you want to put it. If you want to incorporate a printer, think about whether you want a large office printer, which will require a substantial amount of floor space, or a small desk printer, which will not require any floor space at all. Also, consider which wireless technological devices you could add to your office; wireless devices could reduce or even eliminate the existence of loose wires running across your office floor.
Conclusion
In conclusion, use the tools and resources available online when designing a floor plan for your new home office. During the designing process, consider the size and shape of your desired office space. And think carefully about where you want to place your desk, storage units, and technological devices.
