For many teleworkers, one of the perks of telework is being able to set up a home office exactly the
way they want it. There's a lot to consider before painting walls and buying office furniture.
Don't spend a lot at first. Some people who sign up for telework change their mind after a few months.
That could happen to you. Once you are sure that you will continue with telework, you can get more
serious about the home office. Also, after teleworking a few months you will have a better sense of how
you want things arranged. Consider also, how frequently you will be teleworking. Someone who works
from home most of the time will probably need a larger space with more equipment and more storage than
someone who teleworks only occasionally.
This section of the toolkit has four parts:
