Have you found it difficult to adapt to working from home? With many people working remotely for large parts of the past year or so, some are finding new and creative ways to make their home offices more comfortable. 

The garden undoubtably becomes an appealing workspace when the sun is out – but a shed could offer a more all-weather solution. When executed well, they’re smart and secluded and can create a clear distinction between your living and working spaces. 

So if you think a shed office – or shoffice – might suit your situation, read our quick guide to setting one up below.

Plan the project

Any major home improvement project should start with sitting down to make a detailed and realistic plan, including budget and timeframes. 

Perhaps the most important consideration is whether you already have a shed or outbuilding that’s suitable or whether you’ll be starting from scratch. Make a list of the items you’ll need to work efficiently and consider the space you’ll need to fit them, which could be somewhere around 65 sq ft.

Factor in heating and cooling

If you plan to use your shed office all year round or at least have the option to, you’ll want to think about how you’ll achieve a consistently comfortable temperature. That’s likely to mean factoring in lots of insulation and possibly portable heaters.

In summer, simply being able to open a door or window could be enough to regulate the temperature providing your structure doesn’t feature lots of glass.

Choose a power source

Professions that are suitable for remote working tend to rely on electricity, so you’ll want to find a suitable power source unless you’re prepared to keep running back and forth to recharge. 

You could pay an electrician to run electricity from your house to your shed. Or investing in a diesel generator might be a viable alternative.

Add essential office furniture

No home office is complete without comfortable furniture. You may be able to repurpose a desk and chair from your current home working space – or could even craft something bespoke if your skills are up to it.

Now could be the time to try out a standing desk if you’re worried for your posture. Other office furniture essentials might include storage for paperwork and stationery, depending on your role.

Finish off with decoration 

With all the practicalities taken care of, the final step is to add some decoration and create a work environment you’ll feel excited to return to at the start of each day. 

A lick of bold paint could soon transform a drab shed into a vibrant modern office. You could also add a sofa, rugs or curtains depending on your space, plus accessories like family photos, artwork and desk plants.

Creating a shed office could restore that sense of going to work without actually having to leave the comfort of your home. Follow the tips above to make your alternative home office a success.
