A corner layout works well with square rooms or when you are using part of another room.

One of the important points to keep in mind with a corner layout is the position of any windows. If you happen to be facing a street, you may not wish for anyone and everyone to be able to see you.

Another consideration will be the placement of outlets and phone jacks. While this won't pose serious problems, you don't want to be using a lot of electrical extension cords. Try to arrange your workstation closest to the outlets so that your surge protectors can be plugged directly into them.

Sample Corridor Home Office Layout

Use long, narrow spaces for your home office Sample Corridor Home Office Layout. C. Roseberry

This long and narrow layout works well for use in long hallways or closets that aren't being used.

The key to successfully using this layout is to remember that there must be a lot of storage space. Since this area could see heavy traffic when you aren't working, it is important to keep things neat and tidy.

Bi-fold doors can be used to enclose the office area when not in use or heavy drapes are another alternative.

It provides a large workspace, often you can make it large enough for more than one person to use if need be. You can also adjust the workspace to include storage space and room for all home office equipment.

Make sure you keep track of where electrical outlets and phone jacks are so that they aren't blocked or inaccessible by the desk.
