Ideally this should be a dedicated space, an entire room if possible or at least a sizable portion of one. You will need a clear space to work that has sufficient power sockets and a phone line connection nearby. Make sure your work space is clear from noise and distractions like a t.v. or washing machine.
Also think about the additional room you will need for other furniture you will need including a filing cabinet, stationery storage etc.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI personally love working from home… although it’s not for everyone. You could have the most amazing work space with everything you could ever need, but if you don’t have the ambition, focus and drive… your “office” becomes little more than a dust collector, those three things are key to any home office.
I do have one tip… if you put a clock in your office, which every office should have, don’t get one that you can hear go “tick, tock, tick, tock” like a battery operated one, I made that mistake and that clock is history… get yourself one you can’t hear. One more thing, a saying that my friend and I use all the time, “you can’t make money, sitting on your hands!”
