Office Cubes
In this world of baby boomers and empty nesters, many a child’s bedroom, which became a guestroom, is now being converted into a home office. With the bedroom furniture stowed away, a bare wall or an entire room awaits renovation into workspace. So where should one start to furnish the perfect office for years to come?
A buyer could go from office store to department store, and spend days surveying the styles and types of office furniture available. But to save energy, automobile gasoline, and time, go online. A huge array of bookcases, desks, comfortable office chairs, and file cabinets (even fireproof ones) are just awaiting a cyber space purchase.
It is definitely advisable to purchase a computer desk, whether one has a desktop computer or a laptop one. There is such a large selection of computer desks available that the perfect one for each person can be found. Even a laptop computer, which can be used anywhere, will work best when at a desk. In addition, the desk drawers are ideal for storing computer paper, ink cartridges, and writing implements. It’s also very handy to have the printer placed on a slide-out shelf of the desk or on top of it.

Office Decorating Ideas
Congratulations! You’ve landed the perfect job, complete with your own office. Now what? Of course, you’ll be spending time mastering the ins and outs of your new position. And you’ll be moving into you new office. You will, no doubt, have the requisite desk, file drawers and bookshelves. But what can you do to make your office truly yours? With just these few office decorating tips, you’ll be on your way to having an office of which you can be proud.
First, determine how much space is available within your office for your decor. Take some pictures of the office you’ve been assigned. Look at where the window(s), door, electrical outlets and computer jacks are situated. These will determine the possible furniture layouts. You may even want to draw up a scale floor plan with like-scale furniture. You can then try several arrangements to see which one you prefer – without hurting your back!
Once you have your furniture in place, your files in the file drawers, and your books and manuals on the shelves, you will see exactly how much wall, shelf, and floor space you have available for your personal touch.
Second, choose the correct type of image. If you are employed by a conservative company, you’ll want your office to portray a more conservative image. Conversely, if you work for a vibrant, innovative company, your office should communicate that same feeling.

Office Designs
* If you need some remodeling done to accommodate your home office set up, the next step will be demolition to remove existing partitions, shelving, etc. that are not part of your new home office design ideas.
* Install any electical, phone or cable outlets, cabinetry, shelving, and/or wall partitions on your plan - ideally while the space is already empty.
* Thoroughly clean and paint, wallpaper, add floor coverings, hang light fixtures, etc. before bringing anything into the new space. Without furniture and equipment to get in your way, this step can be completed much more quickly and easily. However, while you don't want the furniture in the way at this stage of setting up your home office, you'll want to make sure you know exactly where your furniture and equipment will be placed in the room. For assistance, see the Home Office Furniture Plans step in this series.
* Start bringing furniture into your office space. It's best to start with the larger pieces first so you'll still have the maximum amount of floor space to move them around. As you set up your office and bring in furniture, dust and polish it as needed.
* Bring in your home office equipment and place it where it needs to go in the room. As you place each piece, check to see if it needs to be cleaned, oiled, or otherwise serviced, and that all cords are long enough to reach your outlets or power strips.
* Before connecting everything, make sure you're still happy with your home office design ideas, especially the layout of your work area and that no unexpected problems have cropped up – such as a monitor screen receiving too much glare from a nearby window, or your desk area not receiving adequate light. Sit in your desk chair and take in the view.
* Place your wall hangings, artwork, bulletin boards, white boards, chalkboards and other items.
* Bring in smaller items to complete the set up of your office at home, such as lamps, organizers and desktop items. If needed, clean or dust them as you place them in the room.
* Make one last check to be sure you're happy with the layout and that it will serve you well in the days ahead. You home office design ideas may have seemed great, but when you go to set up your office at home you might find they really don't work well for you. A few adjustments now will save you grief later. Your work area needs to function efficiently so you can be more productive. Accessing files and supplies needs to be an easy chore so you'll spend less time doing it and more time working. Once you're satisfied that your home office design ideas are going to work, connect and test all equipment to make sure everything's working properly, that all cords are long enough, and that you haven't overloaded any circuits.
Stay Flexible with Your Home Office Set Up
Once you've set up your office at home, you'll want to monitor how well your home office design ideas are working for you in actual practice. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you settle into your new home office space and get to work:
* What do I like most about how my office at home is set up and laid out? What do I like least?
* Did I overlook some important home office design ideas? Was I not able to put some of those ideas in place when I set up my office at home? If so, can I now make or plan accommodations to correct what's not working out with my home office setup?
* Is my work space quiet enough? Cool enough or warm enough? Too bright or too dark? What needs to be done to make corrections?
