The Best Things About Working From Your Own Garden Office

How many times have you been commuting to work and thought how nice it would be to work from your own garden office? If you do it regularly, if your job would be conducive to working from home, and if you have a little space to have a building big enough for you to work from, read on. This article just might be what you need to take the plunge to working from your own garden.

Working from home has never been easier. With the internet and various web communication devices, a business owner might just encourage people to work from home to avoid paying higher rent, sick leave and having to deal with general office politics. For you, there are many benefits. The three top benefits outlined here are, the ease of getting the space created, how great it will feel to be in a more natural environment and the lack of stress normally associated with having to go to the office. Let's address them one by one.

First of all, you'll need to decide what type of building is suitable. Garden offices can be made from different methods. a garage or a shed can be converted or a new building can be constructed. There are plenty of companies out there who specialise in garden offices / studios. There are also building companies who can convert an existing building for you. You can feed electricity and phone lines from your main house easily enough for lighting, heating, electrical points and internet connections, etc. Costs will vary so do your research for the best option.

Once you've decided to create your own office outside, you'll find it much healthier. Natural light and fresh air are the first two benefits you notice. You'll also find it much quieter so your concentration and creativity can flourish. Another key benefit is that you will be free from all of those office germs that have people coughing, sneezing, and generally feeling unwell. You'll have a much better state of mind.

If being in a much healthier environment isn't enough, you'll also be free from the general office stress. You'll have your own space, be able to work at your own pace, walk an easy 30 seconds to an office that you've designed to your taste, and when you want or need social activity, you can schedule it when it suits you. Having a garden office also allows you to shut the door and separate your home environment from the work environment.

Outlining the above benefits, it's not surprising that garden offices are growing in popularity. They're easy to construct, provide a healthy and happy environment and take the daily stress out of commuting, sharing space and subjecting yourself to unnatural and unhealthy lighting and air.

Next time you're commuting on crowded, delayed public transportation or stuck in traffic, or just fed up with the habits of someone you sit near, consider a garden office. It could just change your life!
