If you\u2019ve snagged a work-from-home job, welcome to the club! Whether this is the first time you\u2019re working from home or you finally have the space to set up a home office, this guide will walk you through everything you need to set yourself up for work-from-home success. And while it is possible to work from your bed or at the kitchen table, having a dedicated workspace can help minimize distractions and get you in the work mindset.<\/p>\n

Though work-from-home jobs were on the rise<\/a> even before 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic really jump-started the work-from-home model. Prior to 2020, Pew Research Center reports that of those whose jobs could be done from home, just 23% of employees were working remotely<\/a>. That number jumped to 71% of employed adults working from home all or most of the time in October of 2020.<\/p>\n

As the pandemic restrictions were lifted, many wondered what that would do to the work-from-home landscape. Would there be a mass return to the office or would employers and employees continue to use the work-from-home model? As recently as January 2022, Pew Research Center found that of employed adults who say their jobs can be done from home, 59% are currently working from home all or most of the time \u2014 many by their choice.<\/p>\n

So whether you\u2019re new to the workforce or have switched to remote work, we\u2019re here to help you create a sweet home office setup<\/a> that has all of the home office essentials you\u2019ll need for work-from-home success.<\/p>\n

The space<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re ready to set up a work-from-home space, the first decision you\u2019ll have to make is where you\u2019re going to set it up. If you have a room to dedicate to home office use, start there! But you can also get creative and set up a backyard office<\/a>, a designated corner of your bedroom, or a cozy corner of the living room.<\/p>\n

Natural light<\/h3>\n

Natural light offers immense benefits including boosting your mood, increasing productivity, and reducing the likelihood of seasonal affective disorder. A 2018 Future Workplace survey found that 78% of employees attributed improved wellbeing to access to natural light<\/a> and views while 70% noted improved performance. If you can find a space in your home with access to natural light, you\u2019re off to a good start!<\/p>\n

Proximity to distractions<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re working from home with kids, animals, or even a running dishwasher, you know that distractions are everywhere. Choose a home office space that is as far from noisy areas as possible. If there\u2019s a door that you can close, even better.<\/p>\n

Amount of space<\/h3>\n

Work-from-home jobs differ greatly. Some home offices need just a desk and laptop while others require space for file cabinets, paper shredders, and multiple monitors. Evaluate the amount of space that you need and choose a place where you can fit everything comfortably.<\/p>\n

The basics<\/h2>\n

The base of a work-from-home setup is the desk area. Whether you need a small desk that tucks in the corner, a sit\/stand desk for daily movement, or a behemoth that can support the need for a large workspace, we have you covered. And don\u2019t worry, we didn\u2019t forget about a place to sit.<\/p>\n
