Office Furnitures

As a computer technician, I am surprised by the many home offices that I visit that are arranged in a haphazard order with old furniture. With some simple rearranging and budgeting, you can make your home office functional and stylish.

1. Designate a room to be used for the office and just for the office. This is important. Just as you don’t have a bed in your living room (sofa sleepers excluded) you should have only office furniture in your office, and every piece should serve a purpose.

2. In designing a home you have two options: you can use furniture from relatives and friends or you can save for and purchase new furniture. If you really want to be able to design your office, I recommend saving your money and purchasing new furniture. Although you might be tempted to just get some old office furniture from a yard sale, leave the room empty and let ideas fill your mind on how to utilize the space.

3. Picture it. Try to visualize what you want your office to look like and then look online and in catalogs for furniture that matches your tastes and preference. Once you found the furniture you want, you may have to decide between picking it up locally and putting it together yourself, or having it delivered and put together for you.

If you choose the latter, budget for it in your savings. If possible try to theme your furniture. If a collection exists that offers everything you are looking for in furniture and style, go with that collection.

4. Create it. Once you have your furniture, arrange the furniture to your liking, but these things in mind: is everything accessible? Can I get to everything without having to move anything? In designing your office, every piece of equipment should have a place for itself: computer, printer, LCD monitor, shredder, filing cabinet for papers, laptop, etc.

Don’t crowd an area, and experiment with placement.
Make sure all electronic items have surge protectors. If you have had a recent spike, replace your surge protectors with new ones.

5. Several pieces of equipment that get overlooked a lot (and are probably the most important pieces of equipment of all) is a person’s networking hardware. I’ve seen countless modems, routers and gateways laying in the back of some cabinet in a tangled mess of cords and wires.

A modem should be placed either on your desk or on a shelf with wire storage. Routers should be placed up high if possible to expand wireless coverage inside the home. If you have a gateway (a modem, router and switch all in one) place this either on your desk or on a shelf. Remember to let all your equipment have breathing room. Heat is your computer’s worst enemy.

6. Leave aesthetic items for last. Plants, pictures and other items are for decorative purposes and can enhance an office environment, but only if it is well thought out. Even aesthetic items should be carefully chosen to ensure functionality as well.

7. Have fun. Designing an office can be exciting and adventuresome, and don’t be afraid to experiment. Nowadays, a home office is essential for users and can be of great benefit for years to come!
