As the global landscape shifted because of COVID-19, many people found themselves working from home to maintain social distancing. It can be argued that working from home may just become the new normal even when the pandemic subsides because it brings down the overhead expenses for the company.
But work from home concept isn’t free of challenges for employees. Many find themselves easily distracted by their family, while other may struggle to balance work and life, and many simply don’t have a dedicated space to work in peace.
If the pandemic has forced you to work from home, but you can’t find space in your house to make a dedicated home office, the ‘Cloffice’ trend is just for you!
Keep reading to find out what it is and how you can make one for yourself!
What is a Cloffice?
Cloffice is two words combined: closet and office. So naturally, it is an office you set up in a closet because you just don’t have any other space left! When converting a closet into an office, you have to make sure it is big enough to spend a considerable part of your day without feeling claustrophobic.
As strange as this idea may sound, you can transform your closet into a fully functional office with the right tools!
How to Make One for Yourself?
You can’t work from your bed for an extended period. Having a desk becomes essential after a while. But what if you don’t have an extra bedroom and you don’t have space to set up a desk in your room? You can just open your closet, fit a desk in, and get to work.
When designing your Cloffice, you need to mindful of three things: what you’re going to use it for, the right measurements for the right size of the desk, and the kind of personality you want for your closet.
When deciding what you will use it for, make sure to think about whether you’ll need additional storage along with your desk, whether you’ll be attending meetings from the same desk, and if you will be sitting there for extended periods. Figuring these things out will help you decide what kind of equipment and furniture you require.
It is, of course, essential to measure your closet carefully or hire a professional to do it before getting the furniture. The last thing you want on your hands is an oversized desk that you can’t fit anywhere else.
Must-Haves for Your Cloffice
When setting up your Cloffice, you’re going to need the following things:
- Smart Storage (for your documents and files),
- Sockets and plugs (to plug in your devices),
- A comfortable chair with lumbar support,
- Appropriate lighting (since you won’t get much natural lighting),
- And lastly, a desk that is just the right size.
With these things, you can have a complete and dedicated workspace in the form of a Cloffice. Setting it up is quick and saves you from the hassle of being unproductive during work hours.
