Three principles everyone who works from home should think about when designing their space.

I’ve worked remotely for years, and the one thing I’ve always found to be important is that if you’re going to work from home you need to have a place to work. Even if you love the freedom and flexibility of working from anywhere, having a spot to land is important.

Relatively cheap and endlessly flexible, a backyard shed should be much more than a place to dump your tools.

No matter how modest, any backyard space attached to your home can prove useful—and one easy and popular way to level-up your backyard without too much work (or cost) is to install a backyard shed. If you’re lucky, there was already a shed in place when you bought your house, but you can buy a modest shed at your local hardware store for just a few hundred bucks (or opt for a shed that is essentially a separate structure for a few thousand—or build your own).

Ever wanted your own personal space but had nowhere to go? Why not build a she-shed? She-sheds are a more feminine equivalent to a male’s man cave; however, they can definitely be used by anyone. It’s a place to hang out, have some alone time, or entertain guests. It’s a sweet escape and relaxing oasis. A she-shed can be made from almost anything as well. An old building, a storage shed, or even a spare bedroom are some ways to build one.

They are also known to have many health benefits. According to Chicago Tribune, she-sheds can help one’s physical health, offer a sense of identity, reduce resentment against others, and provide some privacy. It’s important for you to take care of your health, both physically and emotionally. Clearly, a she-shed can help with that. Creating a sacred area can improve your overall well-being, especially if you’re also going through a period of high stress like many are.

Artist, writer and ex-interior designer Gill Heriz has a love of small spaces. Living in Suffolk, her fascination with the subject and seeing so many shed-like structures designed by women in her locality, prompted an exploration of who’s doing it, where and how, and which she’s detailed in her book A Woman’s Shed, she sheds for women to create, write, make, grow, think, and escape.
