Everyone wants it, but not everyone can have the big corner office with expansive views and the enormous mahogany desk. Maybe your office is located in a crowded city where the rent is as high as the building itself. Or perhaps you\u2019re at a startup with a tight budget until the company fully takes off. You could also be an entrepreneur working from home and you\u2019re carving out your office in a small bedroom or corner of the living room. Regardless of your reasons for working in a tight space, there are a variety of ways that you can make the most of the room you do have with compact-sized furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Know the Limits of Budget & Space for Your Small Office<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first thing you need to figure out for your small office? Your budget.That amazing mid century modern desk may be perfect for your space, but are you willing to spend your whole budget on one piece of furniture? A small couch would be nice, but is it necessary and would it get used? \u00a0Additionally, if your office is located on the 10th floor, you may have to pay additional delivery charges for stairs or for a certain distance that the movers have to carry the piece (which varies by company or store). This could impact your budget, so look for these additional charges or keep a portion of the money aside for the unexpected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, measure your office and the door opening. There\u2019s nothing worse than having a wide desk or a comfy new couch delivered only to realize that it won\u2019t fit into the space – or through the door! Furniture stores can also be deceiving; that simple desk or two-seater couch can look really small in a huge warehouse and end up being surprisingly larger than expected in a real-life office. Try out a free website like <\/span>PlanYourRoom.com<\/span><\/a> to see how everything will fit before you buy. Just choose the size of your room and drag the furniture items you plan to buy such as a desk, bookshelf, and chairs. You can customize the size of the furniture, position it anyway you like, and even add structural elements such as doors and windows to get a full sense of how your small office layout will look and function.<\/span><\/p>\n
