Because of the other expenses involved in operating a business, those who are just starting a home-based business may feel that decorating the office seems like an unaffordable extravagance that can wait until you become rich from your business. However, your home office is where you will be spending an inordinate amount of time and, the way you feel when you’re working can make a difference in productivity.

Most will not be able to afford a professional decorator or organizer to come into their home office and put everything in its place, creating a friendly, inviting atmosphere. A vast majority of home business owners will be doing the work themselves or with the help of a spouse or children. For the fortunate ones that have a separate room in which to set up their office, the task is much easier. Others will have to carve out a space from the family living area in which to work privately and without interruption.

The ones with a separate room for their home-based business can start from scratch by emptying the room of all items, including furniture and pictures. You may decide to paint the walls to create an atmosphere more conducive for work and, the color will be an individual choice. However, light colors or earth tones have been shown to provide a better work environment and to reduce stress and spark creativity.

You can then make a floor plan on a plain piece of paper to determine where each item and piece of furniture will go so that your home-based business office is organized and everything is easily accessible, including your office chair. You can also create a materials flow chart to help with placement of the office equipment. Then follow the plan when you put the furniture back into the room. There may be some pieces that won’t fit, such as beds or dressers that were in a former bedroom, but they don’t belong in your office. So, consider storing these pieces in your basement, garage or a storage unit or selling them or giving them to charity.

You may need a file cabinet and the top can be used to hold your phone, fax machine or copier and if you have one machine that performs all these functions, the top of a file cabinet can be an ideal spot and space saver. You can use an open book case for storage of office supplies as well as books concerning your business. Be sure nothing unrelated to your home business is allowed on the shelves in your work space. Consider a traditional office when deciding what to place in your home-based business office. Keep it professional. A few favorite pictures on the wall can improve the working environment as well as a potted plant, just to add some ambience to an otherwise sterile work center.
