If you’ve decided to start your own business or recently found the perfect work-from-home job, you’re probably in need of a home office. However, if you’re living in a small apartment, finding the space to set up an office can be difficult. So, here’s a few tips to help you create a home office space in your small apartment from One 51 Place, the spacious apartment community in Alachua, Florida.

Stay Small

If you’re stuck in a small space, adding a full-size desk can be difficult. Instead, opt for a small workstation that can adequately fit the essentials. Many work-from-home employees use only a laptop and a few other pieces of equipment. These relatively small items reduce the space required to establish a home office.

Double Up

It may not be the ideal setup, but using an existing table as your work desk can help save space. If you live alone, you won’t have to worry about preventing other people from using your claimed table. And if you live with family or roommates, they’ll likely be out of the house during the majority of your working hours. If you’re willing to move your office items to accommodate their needs, you can probably get by using the dinner table as your workspace.

Prioritize Easy Storage

If you’re tight on space, it might be beneficial to opt for a desk and chair that can be easily stashed away. Desks and chairs that fold up allow you to remove your workstation when needed. Alternatively, you can save some space by using a chair that fits neatly underneath your desk.
