10 Ways A Garden Office Can Bring Balance

A garden office space could change how you work, change how you live and bring balance to your life.

With increasing numbers of us working from home, an outdoor space for your work, away from the distractions of the home can be a good choice. If you don’t believe us, read these 10 ways a garden office can bring balance.

1. You can have more balance in your work life by having a garden office. Instead of having to commute every day, you could be spending that extra time with your family. You could indulge more often in your own interest and stay healthier. These activities would give you a feeling of fulfillment and help you to be calmer and help you to be more on top of things.

2. You can keep things in better order then with an ordinary home office. Often when you share spaces it causes clutter. But having a dedicated space for work that is in a garden cabin helps to tidy things up and will lead to working more effectively. This is also true for hobbies and crafts and it'll make those projects go better. You will find that your work is more efficient and you will be more organized and less cluttered.

3. It's also true that if you keep everything together then things will be in reverse. When you have your work side-by-side with dirty laundry you may feel that you are always at work. Having some separation helps you and your family feel saner. This means that you have a workday that begins at the time you decide and ends when you decide. This helps you to take some control back and allows your family to get your full attention for a few hours.

4. Make this year your year to be healthier. Instead of getting a typical steel, plasterboard and brick building, try something different. Get a building that keeps humidity levels even and creates an atmosphere that reduces dust and mold spores and surrounds you with wood which has been shown to be beneficial for reducing stress. You may not have a stress-free year but a garden cabin will definitely help you cope with any stress better.

5. The price of a garden building is less than you might think according to Quick-Garden. You can get grand designs and even they are cheaper than you would expect and you can get them on a plan that will fit. One of the big keys is designing an attractive building that is accessorized the way you want it and you can often do it for less than the cost of adding a new room to your house.

6. If you own your own business and compare the overall cost to the cost of renting office space, it could save you money. Even if you rent a space in a business incubator it'll often cost you £300 a month. This means that your garden office would be paid for in just a year.

7. Additional savings you would get is a reduction in central heating. It's easy to run up the utility bill even when just heating a single space when you work for several hours there. Our garden offices come with double-glazed windows and extra insulation. This means that the heating bills will be very low.

8. Getting your new garden cabin will benefit you tremendously and can be used for multiple tasks. It could be used not only as your garden office but also as a perfect leisure room. You can even design one that has more than one room and design it specifically for multiple functions such as a workshop, a gym, a hobby room, and even a summer house. You get to decide what functions you want and put them all together into one building.

9. If you are still thinking about cost-effectiveness then good for you. You may be able to claim insulation cost as a tax deduction. Not everything will qualify but the installation of utilities and some of the fixtures might but of course, you'll want to talk with your accountant about it. Another option would be charging your business rent that is paid to the homeowners. In either case, it's an opportunity to offset some of the cost for your garden office.

10. If you're wanting to resolve yourself to doing more things that are good for you then this is an option. It can help you to save time and money and allow you to keep your home and work separate. When using one of these buildings you'll have your own workspace and you will likely find it a good feeling. The garden office will be your own and you can design it just the way you want it. It allows you to be outdoors and closer to nature while having all the comforts of being indoors. The building can be very beautiful and that alone may make you happy. You get all this and you get to save money too. To get started, give us a call.
