| Decorating Offices | Great Examples
● Creating a nice study area doesn't mean you have to have a separate room, just a separate area.
● A simple table coming off the wall, nicely placed in conjunction to other seating in the vicinity, says "office" without saying a word.
● If you have a study area that is not a separate room, be sure to keep the area neat and clean and orderly. If you don't want a ton of papers and files lying around, make sure you have created adequate storage nearby to keep things out of sight.
● Neatness is a description that easily comes to mind in this example: Everything is in its proper place - out of sight. So, even the computer monitor is discreetly mounted on the wall, leaving the desk area free.
● The biggest decorating faux pas for the home office is clutter. If you manage that you will do very well.
● As more and more people become entrepreneurs and work is outsourced to independents, you'll see home offices will continue to rise and flourish.
● Whether it is visible or not, you'll want to make sure you have planned well, not just for the immediate, but for future growth.
● Think about bookshelves, built-ins, placed nearby.
● Plan for file folders - they always seem to magnify.
● Then there is the inevitable phone, fax, scanner, printer, desktop or laptop.
● Poor planning and failure to plan for the future needs of a start-up business are the most common mistakes people make when decorating a home office.
