We are looking at selling our house and moving precisely because I do not have anywhere to have an office. I’ve been working from a chair in the corner of the living room (not even a table, laptop earning its name) for the past 3 months.
- jjeaff 6y agoI had to get creative with our small space. We live in a walk up that has a big vaulted ceiling over the foyer entry and stairs so we built sort of an enclosed loft area over the entry to use as an office. It has been amazing to get my desk out of the living area. The only thing we had to trade for it was a 20 foot tall ceiling and empty space with a chandelier for a 9 foot tall entry area with recessed lights. It's a small office, 5x10ft but just having anything out of the way with a door that closes is just miles better. My point in sharing this is that lots of space, especially in our American homes and condos is poorly allocated. There might be a creative way to add on or convert some existing space in the place you live now.

- irrational 6y agoNah, my kids use the kitchen table for their school work. That is more important to me than my own comfort.
