There are more homes today that contain a home office.
A home office is defined by a room or an area of the home, where the business of the home is conducted.
It does not matter where the work is being done, more and more families are deciding that the best place to conduct business is either in the kitchen, or in a room right next to the kitchen.
First of all, the reason to conduct such activities in the kitchen is easy access to snacks, while having the ability to spread out, if a person needs to.
No matter what the reason is to have the kitchen pull double duty as an office, there needs to be a designated area in the kitchen, where the day by day activity of cooking does not interfere or destroy an electric bill from being paid, conducting business activities, and homework being done.
If the kitchen is being used for this extra task, consider these kitchen organizer tips: The Desk: The desk should blend in with the rest of the kitchen in terms of color and surfaces.
This helps the area blend in and make a more uniform look to the kitchen, in case this area is needed for buffets at dinner parties.
The drawer should have drawer organizers in them to separate items, such as pens, paper clips, and post a note pads.
The desk does not have to look like a desk, but there should be a place where everyday files can be easily accessible, but be able to be put away when the extra space is needed.
It might be necessary to have a rolling cart as part of the kitchen organizer system, so it can go into the Kitchen pantry or somewhere else in the home.
In some cases a drawer organizers can double as a kitchen organizer to hold kitchen accessories as well.
The Pantry: The kitchen pantry is a wonderful place to store extra printer paper, extra file folders, and computer equipment that can connect through WiFi, if the kitchen pantry is large enough to hold these items.
For kitchen pantries that large, space can be marked off for these office items only, giving room on the desk to sit at.
Bulletin boards: Hang these in the door of the kitchen pantry as a family center.
This is where the calendar hangs, and family members can see the activities of the day.
Hang up important numbers, school schedules, work schedules, and to do lists.
Another item to hang up is a family chore chart as a reminder for what needs to be done in the home.
Overall the desk area of the kitchen should function like the rest of the kitchen, and should be part of the kitchen organizing process.
The kitchen is one of the places where people gather for eating, working, playing, and entertaining of guests, and no part of the kitchen should be out of place.
In into prospective that sometimes a kitchen may have to double as an office, the two should marry into one cohesive place in the home.
