People who work from home face all tend to share in one major problem: Where is the bet space to work?

Not everyone has access to an entire room to devote to their home office and working at the kitchen table or in other shared spaces within the house will quickly lead to distractions and problems.

But extensions to a property or 'hot desking' around different offices can become expensive or problematic. Fortunately, it appears that a convenient and affordable new trend is starting to emerge as more and more people are looking to the space in their gardens.

Companies are springing up that build home offices that can be installed in a garden space. The buildings fit in with their natural surroundings, rarely require planning permission and are significantly cheaper than building an entire extension.

Many creative people in particular find these spaces beneficial as they are surrounded by greenery and have little else to distract them. In the house, for example, there can be children, pets, phone calls, housework and other problems to take the attention away from work. But in the garden homeworkers are free to focus and enjoy their work.
