More and more people have started to work at home instead of, or in addition to, going off to an office, I'm sure this trend will continue; it's part of the freedom that comes from e-mail, cell phones, pagers, and fax and scan machines. We're entering the flexibility-in-work age and the era of contracted work. A good number of us enjoy working for ourselves because it gives us a greater degree of control over our working conditions and therefore our feelings about our work.
If you work at home, you probably spend a lot of time in your workspace, maybe as much as you do in your bedroom. Therefore, you'll want to think carefully about the orientation of this room, the furniture placement, and its ambience. This space needs to fit us just right and it should not have a negative impact on your particular constitution. Your home workspace should be soothing, inspiring, and fill your soul with positive energy so that you can do good work. If you don't work at home but have a study, you'll still want to attain the same objectivescreating a room that you enjoy.
