With more opportunities to work from home it's time to get the space set up to create the perfect work environment for more than 1 person. As the transition between office working and home working takes place, you might find yourself sharing the space with another person, which can be harder to set up when there’s a contrast in requirements. If you're sharing an office space at home with another, how can you create a suitable space that is effective for both parties?

If a simple division suits the space, this is an easy and cost-effective method which gives a clear side of the room to each person and supplies privacy a space can need when you're working in the same office space. Whether the room needs to be split length or width ways, the available sizes should meet your requirement. You'll have access to many different finishes which include fabric, print and easy clean surface, all of which can work well in a home setting.

Add the centre room division as a temporary solution by utilising a portable room divider which can be moved and stored at the end of your work day.

When short on space and the option to divide a room down the middle isn't possible, desktop dividers are the next in line. Fitted on to the sides and back of the desks, not only creating a home working cubicle but providing privacy so it's possible to work in close proximity with another person who isn't working on the same tasks.

Using desk dividers can be beneficial when 2 desks are back to back or positioned next to each other.

In a smaller home office environment, excess noise can be one of the biggest complaints. Rap Industries have plenty of methods to help reduce the noise, resulting in a comfortable workspace to meet the needs of 2 people. Acoustic office screens and desk dividers work with the combination of acoustic foam and fabrics to absorb noise and result in an ambient work zone.

Whilst the above options are small changes that can be implemented, there are other solutions which take home office spaces to the next level. If you have the space and working from home is permanent, full acoustic work pods bring the office to your home. Complete with acoustic panels to create 2 room like areas, keeping distractions to minimum and mimicking the workplace as close as possible.

It's safe to say you’ll be fully set up for a comfortable day at work.
