For those of us who are fortunate to still be working, many of us have been forced to work from home during the pandemic. Work spaces can be anything from a private, dedicated office space with doors that close, to a fold up table in a bedroom. Wifi can be strained due to the demand of many devices because of home schooling or couples working from home. We’ve all been in those Zoom meetings where screens freeze, pets and children wander in and out or embarrassing comments are made because someone has forgotten to mute. (Search for Zoom Meeting Fails on You Tube for some guaranteed laughs!)
Many companies have determined that they no longer require their employees to work from a downtown office building every day. This has created a new housing trend. Some home office workers are finding that their inner-city apartments are too small so they look for larger condominiums and those with families who no longer have to commute look for larger homes on larger lots further away from the core.
In either scenario the home office has become more important than ever. Which is why we have created a curated list of properties for sale with a variety of home office spaces in Calgary and area.
If you are looking to design your perfect home office, we found a great article on Entrepeneur.com entitled “How to Design the Ideal Home Office” by Professional designer Jo Heinz.
The article offers many tips – such as:
What are the most common mistakes people make when they’re setting up a home office?
There are five:
- Thinking you can “tune out” the plasma screen on the wall. Don’t hang it anywhere near where you’ll be working.
- Inadequate storage components
- Lack of space for reference materials
- Slow and inefficient equipment
- Inadequate wire management (cords and wire spaghetti everywhere)
