Home offices have become increasingly important in the modern era. The 2019 State of Remote Work study by Owl Labs estimates that approximately 30% of the full-time workforce is remote [1]. This is a big shift from the last decade as technology, from messaging and conferencing software to cloud-based project management tools, makes this increasingly feasible.
