What is the best layout for your office design?

If you are working from your office every day, you need to create a space that is not only functional, but one that sparks your creativity.   Ideally you will have a space dedicated specifically as your office, but if space is limited you may need to pair your home office with a guest room, or a nook in your living room or kitchen area.   There are so many options for you to pick the best design and it will depend on your living situation as to how much space you can dedicate for your home office.

No matter where you choose to set up shop, you need to think of the layout for your office so that you have ample access to electricity to connect all of your equipment.  Think of where you need to put things like your computer and monitor, printer, wifi access points, etc.   Also make sure you are able to place your monitor so it will not have a glare on the screen during the day.  Depending on the layout of the room, it may be necessary to also have lamps placed in strategic locations in order to provide you with ample amount of lighting.
