Here are some workplace hacks for getting your area utilized for success.

#1: Draft a Plan for the Workspace

Garage

If you work with your garage space, you will want to jot some things down. You should take down any dimensions and note where windows, doors, switches, or receptacles are placed.

How much room does your vehicle take up? You will want to ask yourself about the space and how you want it to be utilized. This is also a great time to consider the placement of lawnmowers, bikes, weed whackers, and others. 

Office

Similar to if you were to be planning for a garage workspace, it’s essential to note down the dimensions along with locations of windows, doors, switches, and anything else that will be a part of the space when custom designing.

Be sure of how much room will be needed for a desk, filing cabinet, and other office furniture will be placed in the room. You want to create a space that is functional to your workday.

#2: Clean Out the Area

Take Some Time with the Garage

You will most likely want to set aside a whole day or even an entire weekend to get the garage cleaned out and ready to transform into a much more functional work area. You can even make decluttering a family project and invite over a few friends to pitch in, and it’ll go by much faster.

Now is the time to go through absolutely everything – boxes that have been around since you moved into the home. You never know what could be stashed away in there.

Declutter That Office Area

If you have just moved into a home or are getting ready to make that spare bedroom your home office, now is the time to make sure that the space is deep-cleaned and prepared for office furniture to fill up the room.

If there are any clutter or old, unneeded items in the space, now is the perfect moment to ditch it all. Get it all together in a bag and throw it in the dumpster. Now is also a great time to consider if there will need to be any fresh paint in the office to make the space more your own.

#3: Open Shelves or Closed Cabinets?
