If you do have a spare room, you’re in an ideal situation, but you might still need to decide on what the best location for your setup is.

🟢 Your best option is to use an extra bedroom that you can turn into an office. Here, you can truly create the full office experience or use as much or as little space as you need. In addition, since this is a dedicated workspace, you can decorate it as you like and take care of all functional needs.

Less suitable options include:

🟡 A converted garage: This can be a great place to work at but it might require a large investment for it to become a fully functioning home workspace, plus you may need to park your car outside.

🟠 Basement: While increasingly popular, basements can have moisture, especially at certain times of the year, which is bad for your health, and if you plan to store documents or computer equipment that can be affected by heat, cold, or dampness, this may not be the ideal spot.

❌ Attic: Most attics are shaped oddly, with low or slanted roofs that can reduce the use of much of the space, and they’re also subject to great changes in temperature, as well as pests (bats, squirrels, mice, bugs, etc.).
