Working from home can improve most lifestyles; it obviously does not suit everyone, as some people can be distracted by having the television so close (but you will not need one of those in your home office, will you?!). Yes, having your own garden office can offer you numerous benefits, including your own personal development, if used in the correct way.

Having a home office can really help you appreciate peace and quiet and, in-turn, has been known to increase your concentration, enabling you to vastly increase your work output, unlike in a busy office when distractions can be commonplace.
With technology constantly improving, telephone, broadband, and wireless Internet connections can easily be installed inside. Communication between the office and home has allowed many people to work from their gardens just a few days of the week to fit in with family commitments and to cut down on long and stressful commuting issues.
With commuting in major cities taking 3 or more hours a day, working at home can save teleworkers the equivalent of 2 working days a week. That adds up to less stress, more time to think, improved output, greater accuracy, fewer motoring miles, reduced danger and risk of accidents, lower costs and more. And all while finding more time to improve your own quality of life.
Whether you are a rural home worker, or live in an urban area, the arrival of widespread Broadband availability and Government incentives to promote working from home has raised the bar for home office facilities. Gone are the days when squeezing a desk under the stairs or into the corner of a room provided sufficient extra space for a home office. Today's home business environment demands separate, dedicated space for state of the art IT, fast communications, secure and efficient storage, uncluttered operations, and space for visitors. Working from home no longer means working around the kids, between chores, and suffering from constant interruptions.In short, a garden office is a great way of adding value to your lifestyle, business and home.
By this stage I’m sure you’ll start to realise some dedicated office space, is a key asset to have. Many people feel that having a designated home office makes them more disciplined. When they enter their own office they can go into ‘work-mode’ and family members find it easier to accept that Mum or Dad has ‘gone to work’ when they disappear to the office ‘at the end of the garden’…oh yes, you can still be left in peace until you finish work! Garden offices and dedicated assigned spaces can help keep you focused and improve your productivity, leaving you free to enjoy a better quality of life with your family.
Which garden office kit is will suit your garden?
Due to the increase in the number of people working from home there are more and more purpose-built garden office buildings now being offered to meet the demands for home working - it need not be as expensive as you might initially imagine.
Before you start to look for your garden office there are a few questions that you should ask yourself: -
- How much space do I really need in the office?
- How many people will be working in the office? 1,2…3?…any visitors?
- How much storage will you need in your garden office?
- Do I need a meeting area? (a table and a couple of chairs)?
- Will I be using it in all weather conditions?If so, what glazing and wall thickness should I chose?
- Where is the garden office going?
- Do I need planning permission?
- What office style would best suit the way you work? Contemporary, Scandinavian, Architectural Features…or just a plain brick-built shed?
- What is my budget?
When you have the answers to the above questions and any others, which apply to you and your business, you will then be able to make a more informed choice from the vast selection of home and garden offices that are available.
The Home & Garden Centre has one of the most impressive ranges of garden home office and home offices kit buildings to suit your garden, your business and your lifestyle. Styles range from the ‘Finnforest Ikkuna’; a two-roomed architectural garden office with secure storage (and, oh yes, you would be pleased to invite clients to this) to the ‘Stockholm’ contemporary Bauhaus-style timber garden building kit, both of which make an affordable design feature out of working from home.
Prices can vary and it is important to find a supplier who can offer you the best value for money. A study from a leading online retailer of home office kits for the garden, The Home & Garden Centre, suggests that you do get what you pay for:
“Our prices for garden office kits start at around £595 including home delivery and go up to £9,649 for our largest model. Our average garden office kit price, however, is just £2,800.So, if wall thickness, glazing or floor space is not so important to you, then you could probably pay less; spend more and you can improve on all of these. We install most of the home office kits we sell, and offer underfloor heating and guttering on most of our models.”
