The events of 2020, and now of those as we enter 2021 in earnest, have seen a drastic change in many of our lifestyles. Never before has everywhere been closed on such a mass scale and we have been forced to change many behaviours we have taken for granted over the years. One of the most significant changes has been the directive to work from home unless physically impossible to do so. It has seen corners of rooms turned into makeshift offices, dining tables repurposed as desks and a desperate search for silence whilst on multiple video calls.

Now it seems life has changed for the longer term and it is likely to be the case that many will remain working from home, at least for a good portion of each week. Regardless of the current dangers of heading into an office space, the benefits of staff working more from home are being realised by both employees and employers alike. Better work-life balance, no wasted time commuting (not to mention the reduction in pollution), increased productivity from a more engaged and happier workforce and even the ability for companies to reduce office overheads all combine to mean working from home is going to stay.

If the thought of continuing to work from an area of your home which is ill-equipped to accommodate your professional needs, there is an alternative. And a good one too. A garden room can easily be installed on your property offering the perfect haven for you to work in peace, be as productive as you need to be and ultimately close the door to it at the end of the working day. You’ll have a pleasurable morning and evening commute across your garden too!
