The weather is so good that I can’t make myself stay indoors even for an hour, even when it’s time to work. If you are like me and can’t focus when the sun is shining into the windows, it’s time to move your workspace outdoors. Working outdoors will boost productivity as you won’t fee that you are missing something, and you will enjoy fresh air and sunlight all the time. Where to locate your outdoor working nook? Here are some ideas.
Garden Sheds And Houses
Renovating garden sheds and houses is a huge trend, and while some people turn them into bedrooms, others into art studios, you can make your home office there. Such a location guarantees that no one from the family will bother you while working, you will have some peaceful time to concentrate. Add a desk or a dining table, a comfortable chair, some shelves for storage to the shed, incorporate a lot of light and open the windows and doors, and voila – you are working outdoors. If you have a greenhouse, it might be a perfect workspace, too, you can make a whole transparent room for yourself, not only for working but for many other things, too. The only disadvantage of a greenhouse is that it may heat up too much.

Balconies And Terraces
If you happen to have a balcony or a terrace, it will be also a great place for working. Terraces are easy to furnish: add a small table for a laptop or use your coffee table, lie on the couch or daybed and cover the nook with an umbrella. The level of comfort is lower than in a garden house but such a nook doesn’t require any effort to organize. As for blaconies, the steps to style one are the same but if you are tight on space, consider a lifehack: attach a small desk surface right to the railing. This way you’ll get a small desk or table for working and eating, and just a chair is necessary to start. An enclosed balcony will allow you working in the balcony even when the weather is bad.
