Home Office Organization Tips

Do you want to organize an office in your home? If yes, you need to know organizing tips while designing a home office. Though a professional organizer can help you in organizing the office, yet I am trying to make a list of home office organizing tips.
  • Utilize adequate space: adequate and clean work space is required to install computer hardware and peripheral equipments and lay materials, files, papers and supplies. Ensure your office furniture gives enough space for work and storage.
  • Place hardware and peripherals properly: place equipments of daily use within easy reach. The printer, CPU etc. should be placed under the desk if they are used less frequently. A scanner can be placed outside workplace if it is used rarely.
  • Hide cables and wires: always label cords that connect different components to each other and the cord of electric supply. To avoid clutter you can club wires together like computer speaker wires with stereo speake wires.
  • Pile up equipments: Stacking equipment can make most efficient use of space in a home office space. But be careful not to stack any equipment with ventilating tools on the top because they might get too warm.

Small Size Porch Design Ideas

Well designed porch is a right place to sit and enjoy leisure movements and outdoor beauty with family. Any of open, screened and sunroom porches add value to your home.
While designing a porch keep in mind following aspects.

Open Poparch Design

Porch Size: the size of porch should be proportional to the size of your house i.e. a small house should have a small porch while large house may have large porch. A porch does not be too small or too large; which looks ugly and unsymmetrical.



Porch Designing: Porch columns should reflect overall style of your house. They should be big, round pillars of concrete instead of thin wrought iron pillars. Designing porch by grouping columns in pairs gives aesthetic sense to the beauty of your house. Several porches are designed with rows of spindle or curved blusters. Porch walls should be low for more private retreat and upper ledge should be built at the height of windowsills of first floor. Porch ceilings are painted in blue or sky colors on traditional homes. You can paint porch ceiling in paint color of your house or you can go for clear urethane.

Porch Decking: Opt for a wood that resists pests and rots for decking of your porch. The wood is Mahogany coated with clear satin urethane. If you lay decking in a frame pattern with outer edge parallel to the steps, the craftsmanship of your porch will be superior.
