Remote working and home office organisation
Remote working has become very popular in recent years. Many industries learned to work from home during the pandemic and now cannot imagine functioning without it. Also, many employees have come to love this form of work, which allows them to work from anywhere on earth. Home office for many is very convenient and gives a lot of freedom, however, it forces you to set aside space at home to create an office. If you work in a hybrid or completely remote mode, you cannot work with your laptop on your lap on the sofa or in bed. You need to arrange part of your home to create a comfortable office space that allows you to work effectively.
A comfortable desk and chair are the basic elements of a home office, but they are not the only elements that will facilitate comfortable remote working. Depending on the type of work, a filing cabinet or printer may be useful. Creating a home office, however, is not just a matter of setting up a desk, chair or computer, but the challenge of organising the space properly. Ideally, the work room should be a separate space and not part of the living room or bedroom. This will allow work to be separated from family life. A separate, enclosed room is especially valuable if you don’t live alone – children playing or the TV on can be a big source of distraction, which significantly reduces productivity. Unfortunately, this is not always possible.
Challenges of small flats
Many people live in small flats, so the extra room – if there is one at all – acts as a storage area for various items. Freeing it up is often problematic – what to do with all the stuff we’ve put away there for years? Start tidying up with a thorough selection. Divide the items into those that are essential – in good condition and still useful – and those that you no longer need and intend to sell or throw away. After the review and meticulous selection, it is time to plan where to keep the things that still have value. Often, some of them simply don’t fit into a new, more functional home office layout. In this situation, self storage comes to the rescue.
The benefits of renting a self storage facility
Self storage facilities are the ideal choice for those who are short of storage space. With the addition of a storage room, you will be able to set aside space in your home to create a home office that is comfortable, while not having to throw away things that were previously there. Depending on your needs, you can choose the most optimal storage room size. Storage unit sizes start from as little as 0.5 m²! A secure storage space with optimum storage conditions, protected by modern security systems, is an excellent, much safer alternative to a storage cell.
If you do not have a separate room in which to create your comfortable home office, it will be necessary to set aside a section of another room for this purpose. This, too, is no easy task – in small flats, every inch of space is usually taken up. In order to be able to comfortably insert a desk and a comfortable chair into the living room or bedroom, we are usually also forced to get rid of some items. With self storage units, you won’t have to throw anything away and at the same time you will gain a very comfortable work area!
