Whether you’ve been working at home for a while or just about to start, you want to have a productive work space. Simply sitting at the kitchen table might not be enough for you to get your work efficiently done. Particularly if you have a lot of office equipment, such as a printer, file cabinet.
The problem with setting up a home office is that space might already be a premium. Unless a family member recently moved out, you can’t simply add on an office to your home unless you really have a good budget. This means taking an existing space and converting it for your needs. So, before you begin buying office furniture you have to work out where you can set up shop without disrupting the family.

If space is already a premium in the home, then the next step is to go though some of the other rooms to find space for the items you have to relocate. Begin in the attic and the basement as these seem the best options to store things. Is everything in those rooms something you really need to hang onto. In looking around you have a good chance of finding items that are broken, out of date, or simply no longer needed.
As you go through the rooms, make a list of what can be disposed of. You might
