Being able to work at home is a dream of many people, but just because you are setting up an office at home doesn’t mean it should lack in technology and convenience. The pleasure of working at home is the ability to set more flexible hours, not have to commute, and be able to work during a broader range of situations, even during times when circumstances would usually dictate you having to take a day off of work. As you enjoy these benefits, however, you should not sacrifice the productivity and quality of work expected of the rest of your work team or customers.
Automating your home office is one of the easiest and most effective ways of creating a home office space that is both comfortable and conducive to highly productive, quality work. For some people, a home office is a small area dedicated just to them working independently, but for others, it is a fully functional space where others gather much like in conference rooms in traditional offices. In these spaces, automation is even more important.
Some of the ways automation can improve the productivity, convenience, and organization of your home office include:
- Simplify meetings with projection. Making sure everyone at a meeting is able to see the information you present is essential to the effectiveness of the meeting. Having a projection screen sitting out all the time, however, can clutter a small home office. A motorized projection screen lift allows you to keep the projection screen out of the way when it is not in use and then quickly and easily access it so you can maximize your office space and still have the most important technology for informing your team
- Improve communication and work with speakers. Whether you communicate via a computer program such as Skype, perform voice overs or other recordings as part of your work, or enjoy listening to music in the background as you go through your daily tasks, speakers ensure you get the highest quality sound. Having large speakers sitting out in your office, however, can take away from the professional look of the space and take up important space. An ultra-silent speaker lift brings your speakers into place when you need them, but keeps them tucked away when you don’t
- Streamline your space with a home theater. Depending on your business, having a full home theater array in your office provides the tools you need to work efficiently. Televisions, DVD players, audio systems, and more enable you to work and review your progress right from the convenience of your home office. Home theater automation gives you control over your home theater so you can keep it hidden when you want to and bring it into view only when necessary, streamlining the appeal of your space and keeping the devices from distracting you while working. If you do not need a full array but could benefit from a television, TV wall mounts swivel into place for easy viewing from wherever you need to be so you can hang it on a wall where it won’t be in the way or stop you from arranging other furniture the way you need it. Home theater automation also enables you to let your home office do double-duty as a guest room.
