These days, more than ever people are working from home. I can say this with a certainty because 2 days out of the week I actually work remotely. I can also say with a certainty that when it comes to your health, working from home can be extremely harmful. Whether you are dealing with extreme back pain from lying on your side working in your laptop, depression because it is 3 PM and you haven’t gotten out of bed or eaten anything yet, or frustration because you have 15 things to do, but have been futzing around on Stumbleupon.com for 8 hours straight there are certain pitfalls to living like a free radical.
The key to successfully working from home is having a pleasing space in which to work. Paris-based Bold Design owners William Boujon and Julien Benayoun solved this issue by renovating an old elevator machine room into a home office. They used simple storage solutions to maximize the usability of the square footage, and used bright white paint and lots of light to facilitate their creativity. My favorite part of the office is the bed and seating the folds out of the floor. As any creative person knows, the most valuable part of your day is nap time.
