Berkshire Garden Buildings design and sell bespoke garden rooms not only throughout Berkshire, but also the surrounding areas and further afield around the UK. Our garden rooms are fully insulated and can be a perfect place to work from home. Whether you work for yourself or for a company through hybrid working, it’s essential to have a private room to get your work done effectively and productively. It’s time to say goodbye to your kitchen table and say hello to your new insulated outdoor working space. In our latest blog post, we’ll be outlining the benefits of working from home.
Get Your Time Back
One of the main benefits of working from home is the fact that you get your time back. When you take into account the amount of time that it takes to travel to and from an office, traffic, lunch breaks, colleague interruptions and various other factors, you are typically working much longer than a common 8-hour day. Working from home helps to strip everything back; you can optimize your time much more efficiently. Fundamentally, you gain back control of your life so that you can work to live, not live to work!
Greater Flexibility
When working from home, you also benefit from greater flexibility. The nature of working from home means that you’ll have extra time to perhaps go for your morning run or complete your workout without having to put your own needs to the side for the sake of traveling into the office. If you’re lucky enough to work for a company that promotes flexible hours anyway, you’re likely to see the nature of your life drastically change for the better by giving you a better work–life-balance for your partner, family and friends.
Increase Productivity
Working from home is also proven to increase productivity, especially if you have an insulated garden room or garden studio that serves as a dedicated workspace for you. Various factors contribute to workers being more productive when working from home. One of these includes getting a better night’s sleep due to less stress and the eradication of the commute. Latest statistics also show that employees who aren’t micro-managed are more productive in completing tasks and assignments. They actually produce more than those who work to traditional working environments.
You Spend Less Money
Another benefit of working from home is the fact that you’ll find yourself spending much less money. As a result, you’ll end up saving more money to spend on the things you love doing or cherish. This is a win-win. Typical things you’ll find yourself saving money on include childcare, commuting costs such as petrol and expensive lunches eating out. And especially in the current climate, saving money is always a good thing. Many people decide to use the money saved over 12 months to invest in a fully insulated and bespoke garden/office room which acts as a long term investment.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
With more and more emphasis on organisations and people working together to reduce their carbon footprint, working from home presents the perfect opportunity. With no commute, you contribute fewer greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. Whilst working at home, you have the power and control to do your part for the environment. For example, turning off lights that are not currently being used and setting your office home equipment to power-save mode.
Greater Focus & Much Less Distraction
For some workers, working alone is the ideal situation as there is much less distraction. You can control your surrounding environment. For example, if you work better with music playing in the background or with earphones in, you can set your working environment to your individual preferences with no questions asked. You can decorate the room to your own taste, creating an atmosphere that is relaxing and enjoyable to be in. You’ll also be much more efficient when it comes to team meetings, zoom calls, and conference calls as colleagues around you are not causing distractions.
