Working from home. Petra Rosso. I’m a student, which means I have to have peace and solitude when I’m trying to get my assignments done for college. There’s a great attic room at home which I’ve been working in. I’m studying creative writing and it’s important not only to get into the right frame of mind, but the right surroundings, too, in order for the ideas to flow. The room’s flooded with light which helps me stay really focused when I’m writting, and the view from the windows is inspring. In fact, I’ve done some of my best work since I’ve been using the room for study purposes. The benefits extend beyond the walls of the room too – once the door’s closed, it means I can totally switch off and spend time my family without the thought of college work interfering. Jade Pickett. I share a large apartment with some other young professionals like myself. We get on well together and tend to congregate in the kitchen, which is large and spacious. I like to keep it clean and tidy as I run a catering busines from home and it’s imperative that I stick to certain standards of cleanliness. I’m always experimenting with new dishes and often prepare meals for my flatmates and our friends who come over. What could be more fun that chilling out with good company and food? I like the sociable atmosphere that cooking can create and without such a lovely space to try things out in, I doubt I’d enjoy what I do even half as much. Kara Francis. As an artist, it’s vital to have the right working environment. I do have a room at home designed for purpose. Though it’s undergoing a bit of renovation work at the moment, so I’m working in the living room for the time being. It’s a light, airy space and there are some huge glass doors leading out onto the back of the house, which looks over the fields. It’s almost like the countryside spills into the house. I paint portraits and the light there makes it almost as good as working in my studio. The people who sit for me can look out at the greenery while I’m studying them, and it’s fascinating what a calming effect this seems to have on them. I’ve noticed recently that the portraits I’ve produced lately have a real air of serenity about them. Tina Tyford. I work from home and have a home office, which is the ideal place to get my head down and run my business. When I first started working from home, I undertook some research into what makes the best environment for home-works and that included buying some ergonomic furniture which I had specially designed to suit my needs. Yes, the financial outlay was significant, but it’s really increased my performance and output. I know that having a sedentary job can cause physical problems, so making sure I have the right chair to support my back and so on makes an enormous difference. My office is also well lit and all necessary equipment is within easy reach of my desk. It was definitely worth the effort i put in to make the room suitable for my requirements.
