Take a Workcation this Spring
Working from home is the new corner office. Why not take it a step further? Imagine a perfect outdoor office where you can stay in tune with nature and enjoy a perfect workcation.
Whether you’re in a mild climate year-round or only have warm weather for a few months, working outside can shake things up. Seeing things from a different perspective may even be beneficial to your productivity.
When creating your outdoor office, keep these three things in mind:
- Find a comfortable spot to separate yourself from yard activities.
- Ensure you have shade (critical for screens), power access, and a surface for your coffee.
- Choose weatherproof furniture that stands up to rain and wind.
Marking the Space
A classic Pergola can outline your office and provide natural shade. Highwood’s DIY kits are weatherproof and range from 8’ x 8’ to 12’ x 12’.
If a Pergola isn't for you, use tall plants or furniture to create a privacy screen. Greenery doesn't just boost your mood—it looks great as a background for video calls!
Choose Your Position
The Laptop Recliner: If you like working with your computer on your lap, settle into a King Hamilton Reclining Adirondack Chair. Add a Folding Side Table for your phone and a Water Resistant Cushion for extra comfort.
The Desk Devotee: If you need a flat surface for papers and hardware, the Round 48" Dining Table works perfectly as an outdoor desk. Pair it with a Lehigh or Weatherly armchair for the correct working height.
Your Best Work Forward
Keep insect repellant and sunscreen nearby so you can work comfortably through the day and into the evening. With weatherproof furniture that dries quickly after a "rain break," your outdoor office will stay looking great season after season.
Now, get to work!
