In recent years, many more people have been choosing to give up the standard office job in order to set up their own company, go freelance or work from home. While working from home has many advantages, plenty also discover one major problem – a lack of space.

The number of young professionals making the move to working from home has significantly increased over the last five years for numerous reasons.

Working from home for a lot of people is a dream come true, but many have found that it's not as simple as setting up your workstation in your dining room or your spare bedroom and just getting on with it.

If you talk to any freelancer, you will find that this is the element of working from home that they struggle with the most. They either end up working too much, or they don’t work enough.
