When going for unconventional, off-beat office space planning, one can be a bit more adventurous to find a structure that exudes a natural feel and one that is conducive to wildlife or nature lovers. You could, for example, either grow your own greenery or buy readymade.

lternative office space designs incorporate garden offices with a ‘living roof’ that also acts as a good insulator in winter as well as summer. Unlike a home office, the interior of a garden office does not need to blend with the rest of your home décor. Instead, it can be a genuine expression of what you require and demand from a pure working environment, customised just for you. In other words, it can be conservative, dramatic, quirky, artistic, minimalist, or any other type that matches your tastes and takes your fancy. A garden office lets you rethink your own working style.

lso, it may be that you cannot produce your best work while chained to a desk, and would rather prefer to work curled up on an armchair or sofa. For such people, investing in a Tablet PC makes sense. The screen rotates 180 degrees. It lays flat over the keyboard, enabling you to comfortably ‘write’ on the screen.

or those who need a different office design than the ‘usual’, Space Planning UK can help and can even reuse your existing office furniture where applicable.
