It’s no surprise that the number of people working from home in recent years has dramatically increased. Thanks to ever-evolving technologies, millions have been saying goodbye to their frustrating commutes and hello to the freedom of working remotely.

78% of homeworkers say being able to work from home gives them a better work life balance, with more time to spend with families and find time for exercise.

Who knows whether there will ever be a return to the former way of working? Some companies have decided to go fully remote. Others are adopting a more hybrid approach. The next big experiment is the 4-day working week trial.

The pandemic forced us all to live and work in very different ways. It has prompted us to reassess how and where we work. After all, work is what we do, not where we go.

Whether you prefer a hybrid working approach, or you have no intention of giving up remote work privileges, a garden office is proving to be a very popular choice.

Companies spend huge amounts bringing nature into the office to improve productivity and creativity but what’s better than putting your office into nature?

A garden building adds to your property’s value and is away from all the distractions of the house. Most importantly, it helps you to switch off at the end of the day when you leave work in the garden.

Interiors blogger and serial renovator Sharon Hornsby sought solace in a garden office when juggling being a busy working mum and renovating her home was proving difficult.

“I found the renovation disruption and mess were affecting how much work I could get done.”

Sharon explains that often working very late into the evening to complete her tasks, she needed a solution.

“My own office in the garden was the answer to working in comfort without the interruptions.”

As you work more from home, are you struggling to keep a healthy work-life balance?

Without the commute and separate workspace to break up the day, remote work has made the lines between professional and personal blurrier.

We all know we should set boundaries for the good of our health, but most of us worry we’ll look less committed.

Yet when you establish boundaries, your worth rises. When you value yourself and your own time, your company will follow suit.

Set yourself up for success with a dedicated garden workspace to give you the mental and physical separation between work and home life you deserve.

The remote work revolution means we have more control than ever before over our work environment. Is it time to level up your workspace?

Call time on making kitchens, bedrooms, and sofas places of work. Regain focus and motivation to do your very best work in a garden office with nature breaks to lower stress and super-charge creativity.

Make work ‘work’ for you!
