How to Make Working at Home a Whole Lot Better

If you're going to be spending many hours working at home, you might as well treat yourself to a home office space that will make you feel comfortable, motivated, efficient and creative. Philadelphia interior designerDonna Hoffman suggests that rather than think of it as a "home office," you think of it as a "home office haven."

You have to admit, spending time in your home haven sounds a lot more enjoyable than sweating it out in your home office. Perhaps it's a mind game you can play with yourself -- and with the IRS. Most home office expenses are tax deductible, if you're making any money at all there.
