TIME FOR A NEW HOME OFFICE?
Homeworking is here to stay. For many of us, finding space to work from home is a challenge. Here, Cedral share their expertise to help you create the extra room you need.
It can be a struggle to find the extra room for a dedicated working space in our homes, which is why an outdoor office is a great idea. It can also add value to your home and create a multifunctional room that can be adapted as the need arises. It is also cheaper than building an extension — plus you may not even need planning permission.
