So, how do you set up a home office that will meet your professional requirements, but still stand up to the ordeals of a home with children?
Well, there's no easy answer, but the following tips may help you.
First of all, here's some Home Office Furniture Tips you may want to consider.
You should only pick a desk that has rounded edges as well as sturdy drawers that can be locked; particularly since there will be documents that children should not get into. It doesn't matter whether your home office desk is in the corner of a room or has its own room; please don't think that your home office will be "off limits" actually working, especially if you have small, curious children.
The same can be said for filing cabinets. Even more so, as heavy cabinet drawers can be pulled out and actually crush a small child, so ensure you have locks that work, or have latches that are difficult to open.
Again, make absolutely certain that your business computer is kept where little children can't get into it. Lock it away into an armoire desk or perhaps even consider locking up your office at night.
Another wise investment is a solid home office chair that youngsters would have a difficult time tumbling over. My advice is to be wary of regular office chairs as kids love chairs that spin -it's a simple fact. However, you'll be very angry if they go round and round and you find they actually stop after knocking your coffee over a stack of important papers !
As you go about building your own home office don't forget that childproofing your office is important. But expect a problem from time to time and be proactive by keeping items they shouldn't' touch out of sight - and mind!
Probably the two most important pieces of home office furniture you will purchase will be your home office desk and chair.
These days there is are a variety of different types of home office desks, chairs and other home office accessories available on the market.
Whether you are looking for a Computer Armoire to help conserve space, a Corner Desk to maximize space, a Computer Desk, or a U-Shaped Desk to spread out on, there's a variety of styles and finishes available online that will suit your needs and décor.
For example, a Computer Armoire is an elegant looking large cabinet that has a desk that holds a computer and its peripherals. If you don't have a separate room to set up a home office then a computer armoire may be just the thing you need. You can create a mini office in practically any location in your home with a computer armoire.
Then there's the home office corner desk, which makes great use of space. The computer desk with hutches will also provide the extra space you need for home office supplies.
L shaped desks give you plenty of work surface and sometimes accommodate a guest on the other side of the desk as well. On offer these days are numerous executive U shape desks and peninsula desks for your home office.
There's also a broad selection of affordable mobile computer carts available online that are both ergonomic and stylish.
