If you are ready to get your home office completed so you can finally work at home you are probably looking at home office furniture.
There is one piece of home office furniture that every office must have and that is a computer desk. This is both the hub of your business and the centerpiece of your office.
As you start shopping for your home office furniture be sure to keep a few things in mind to make sure you get the right furniture for your needs. The first thing you need to think about is your office space.
You may dream of having a desk, chair, table, cabinets and a sitting area, but is the room really large enough for all of it? You will need to prioritize what you really need and what you can live without.
If you are lacking space you don't want to buy too large of a desk, but you don't want it to be so small that you cannot work comfortably. Finding the right balance is key.
In addition to a desk, consider what other home office furniture you want to include. In order of priority, you need your computer desk, a computer chair that will be comfortable enough to sit for long hours, a filing cabinet and some shelves to place your printer/fax and other items. You may also want to have a guest chair if you plan to have clients come to your office to meet with you.
Unless you are rich, you most likely will not be buying all of your office furniture in one day. So take advantage of this by shopping around online and at different stores to make sure you get the best deal on each piece.
Thank goodness for the internet, because driving to every furniture store in a 100 mile radius would be both time consuming and would cost you a lot of gas money.
Don't feel overwhelmed, if money is really tight you can always pick up a temporary desk by using a folding table and a decent computer chair. Then you can upgrade as your business starts to make a profit. There have been quite a few million dollar companies that started on nothing more than a card table in the living room.
