With Freelancers and Administrative Consultants (also referred to by some as Virtual Assistants) on the rise, home offices are becoming more common than ever before. Things have changed though and the typical home office is no longer relegated to a tiny area of your house to tinker around in. For many, it is now a key room in the home where many hours are spent.

For this reason, it is vital for your office space to be functional if you’re going to run a successful business from it so careful planning needs to be done.
