I think that if you do work at home then you need some sort of office or at least a corner in your home to have office furniture supplies and such. And even if you don’t work from home if you have children that are in school then they will need an area to devote to their homework. I have always found that I got so much more work done sitting at a desk as opposed to sitting on my bed or at the kitchen table doing homework. And this way you can keep things in order and better organized because they will be in that work area.
