Statistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that in 2019, a total of 8.7 million people at some point in the calendar year had worked from home.
Unsurprisingly, this figure is likely to be significantly higher during 2020 as a result of the recent lockdown and social distancing guidelines put in place by the Government in response to the Coronavirus pandemic.
As a result, homeowners will be looking for new and innovative ways to make working from home a more viable option.
Our garden offices are a perfect way to accommodate a new way of working from home, especially for homeowners and businesses in the UK.
Here, we explore the top three benefits of using a garden office for business.
Work efficiently with fewer distractions
As many people who have started to work from home in the past few months will tell you, it is not without challenges.
With children and other family members now spending more time in the house, it can be difficult to set boundaries while working.
A garden office helps to create a unique, isolated space that grants you the peace and quiet you need to work efficiently and without distractions.
It is a room that will quickly be recognised by your family as a work environment and will therefore in time be treated as such.
Working from home
One of the biggest benefits that a garden office offers is that it allows you to work from home in a space reserved for business.
It brings with it significant advantages, like eliminating travel, meals in the house and more time spent with loved ones without having to tell children to keep the noise down or providing a temptation to work from your bed.
It creates an ideal balance between your personal and work-life without you having to go anywhere.
Starting a home-based business
If you are considering whether to launch a home-based business, you will quickly realise that the space in your home just isn’t quite enough.
Garden offices can counter that problem effectively for any start-up because you create a dedicated, safe space for everything you require.
One of the biggest issues owners of a start-up business face is balancing their time effectively, but with a garden office, they leave behind their work at the end of a day and mentally check out.
It is also ideal for those who cannot afford to rent an office space and would rather invest in improvements to a property that they own.
Garden offices are an effective way to separate work from the rest of your life while adding significant value to your property.
They also offer a contrast to building an extension in terms of cost, time, and stress.
