Working from home is becoming increasingly more common due to the benefits it creates. Having an office in your garden could be an ideal place if you work for yourself, are looking to start a business or perhaps just want to make your life easier and save on the time and cost of commuting. There are so many reasons why a garden office will change your life, here are some key points to consider if this is the way you want to go.
Create the workspace you want
The ability to create a workspace that suits your needs is another benefit when working from your garden office.
Firstly, the style, size and layout of the building itself that perfectly fits in your garden is key. Also being able to choose your desk, chair and even the temperature of the room are all added benefits to being in control of your workspace.
The 9-5 is no more!
Gone are the days of making sure you’re sat at your desk for 9 am and not switching off until 5 pm Having an office in your garden gives you the freedom to work the hours that work for you. With the right working attitude (and this is crucial as some people work best in groups rather than on their own), you’ll be able to complete what you need to do within your hours, without having the regulated times of company offices.
No more driving and commuting
No more hot, sticky days in the car on the motorway! When you have your office in your garden your commute time will reduce drastically. No more early mornings to beat the rush hour traffic or the chaotic public transport where you struggle to even get a seat. A stroll from your back door to your garden office will allow you to start your day fresh and stress-free, not only that but the money you will be saving will add up.
Away from the city and noise
If you work in the city, the hustle and bustle of the lively location can certainly take a toll on how you work and it’s not always for everyone. You may find when working in your garden office that the calm and peaceful environment can greatly increase your productivity.
Balance home and work life
The balance between home and work life can often be difficult to manage, but working from your garden could be the answer.
The flexibility of being able to take a break, watch your child’s school performance or cook dinner for the family, is all possible whilst still holding a career – it’s all down to your management skills and using your time effectively.
Increases your property value
Not only is having a garden office beneficial to your lifestyle, but when it comes to moving on and selling up, having extras in your home such as a garden office can increase your property value by up to 7%. The investment in buying an outdoor building can be a potential financial source by the time you look to settle elsewhere, so it’s something you should consider.
