Budget-Friendly Home Office Design
Keep your home office expenses down with these practical design tips and tricks.
- Depending on how much unused space you have, you could convert all or part of a spare bedroom, attic, or garage into an office. Or you can convert part of your lower level into an office if you have unused space in your basement.
- Design a businesslike workspace that fits your work habits, lifestyle, and needs.
- Save money on furniture for your office by measuring your workspace, setting a budget, and shopping around for the best deals.

Saving Money While Working from Home
Working from home can stretch your budget on clothing and transportation. Here are some simple tips to save even more.
- If you’re considering structuring your business as an LLC, use an online formation service like ZenBusiness, INC which will save you from paying a high-priced attorney to complete the process.
- Contact your automobile insurer to see if you’ll qualify for a telecommuter discount.
- Check Brigit for more money-saving tips, like coupons and local offers whenever you dine out, grab coffee, or order takeout during the workweek.
There are many great benefits to working from home, but it can take a while to experience them when you’re distracted, uncomfortable, and unmotivated. Once you’ve adapted to working from home and have designed a comfortable office space that boosts your productivity, however, you may even find that you’d prefer to work remotely for the long haul!
