The importance of having a home office space in your vacation property

With the end of the pandemic, the concept of home office has been increasingly adopted by many companies, either fully or in a hybrid model. As a result, the demand for properties that offer adequate infrastructure for this work model has increased significantly. In this article, we'll show you how to configure your vacation rental to meet the needs of remote workers in comfort.

Necessary equipments

To begin with, it's important to make a list of the items needed to structure this space. One of the main advantages of investing in this area is that the vacation rental platforms already include exclusive filters for dedicated home office space, that is, offering this extra convenience can attract more guests interested in enjoying this space.

For this, we made a list of important items and details that need to be thought of when setting up this space:

1. Stable internet connection: Without a doubt, this is the most important item on the list. Internet connection has become essential for many people around the world and is the main work and communication tool for those who work from home. Invest in plans above 300mb, as many people need to make video calls and send files, and this can get in the way if the speed is reduced.

2. Space dedicated exclusively to work: It is extremely important to reserve an area of ​​the property exclusively for work. Prioritize a quiet, well-lit space where guests can feel comfortable. This will streamline the experience and increase productivity.

3. Desk at correct height and legroom: Add a comfortable desk table so that your guest can rest their computer, mouse, keyboard. cell phone and even a notebook or a glass of water.

4. Comfortable chair: Be sure to choose a chair with a backrest. Be sure to choose a model that provides comfort and correct sitting posture. Do not opt ​​for backless stools or furniture, as this will harm the guest's ergonomics if they need to sit for a few hours in this environment.

5. Accessible sockets: Don't forget to leave easy access sockets to charge your computer, cell phone and even for a focused lamp, if you need to use this environment at night.

6. Decoration: Adorning the space is a great idea to give the environment a different energy. But be careful: do not decorate the space with items that visually pollute it. This can cause discomfort and distraction for the guest.


See below some other data that reinforce the relevance of having a space dedicated to the home office in your property per season.

According to a survey carried out by DataZap+ in 2022, 55% of Brazilians believe that having a home office space at home has become an essential requirement when choosing a property. In addition, the survey also shows that the hybrid model is the work format that 48% of respondents adopted in 2022. This also affects the vacation rental market. Adapting to these changes is critical to increasing the profitability of your rental property.
