Working from home is the go-to commute of choice these days, but when you and your partner both take that route, things can get crowded, fast. We found a few offices that split space nicely, and they'll hopefully inspire you and your better half to be productive in perfect harmony.
A black and white space allows your creativity to provide the color! This colorless combination isn’t for everyone, so make sure you and your partner agree on the design.
There’s no reasons why you can’t set up a colorful workstation for one! You can always take turns using it. While one is at the docking station, the other can be over on the sofa with the laptop.
House joint schedules and paperwork at the desk, but don’t feel inclined to always work from it. Keeping a desk for all of that organized important information allows you to freely take your sketchpad or laptop outside to get working!
If your work from home friend is Fido, make sure he has a rug to lay on. If your pup wishes to be near you at all times, you can expect he will follow you into your office, but you don't want to be distracted by cuteness sitting in your lap all day.
While you certainly can, don’t feel like you need to work side by side. Creating two conjoined, but essentially separate, work zones is a configuration both of you can enjoy.
If you are lacking in space and need to sneak a desk into a main living space, consider accenting the wall with wood. This white and wood combination is simply stunning.
This set up can accommodate up to six! If your dining room table must convert to a weekday workstation, keep a cart nearby of the essentials. Roll them away when it’s time to eat.
Create a bold and inviting space for clients to visit. If the person you work from home with is the one you are working for, make sure they’re as comfortable as you are in your office.
A handmade home business operation needs different tools than a solely digital one. Create separate work zones for each of the important tasks of your business.
Collaborate on an inspiration wall. Pin up both of your favorite images and ideas. Even if your business is different, you can take advantage of having someone to bounce ideas off of.
A little space can be a good thing. Sitting side by side doesn’t have to mean always being on top of one another. You can opt to keep a little surface distance in between you two.
Encourage collaboration within your office space. Whether it’s with your business partner or life partner, there’s always something to learn from one another.
