Top Five Champion® Homes with the Best Floor Plans for Remote Workers

Be your most productive self with a work-from-home office layout in a Champion Home.

The number of remote workers has risen substantially in the past few years. If you have the opportunity to work from home, you will likely need to make some changes to your environment to ensure you can work without distractions and remain comfortable. Champion Homes offers some amazing homes with the best floor plans for those working from home but first, let’s talk about the benefits of a dedicated workspace with the perfect layout.

Benefits and Importance of a Dedicated Home Office for Remote Workers

If you are working from home, you will need a dedicated area for your specific work needs. Depending on your type of job, you may need a quiet area to engage in phone calls, meetings, or even just a distraction-free place to focus on all of your day-to-day tasks. You may need an entire room and the ability to shut the door to minimize distractions or simply a desk in a common room to fit a computer and workspace. 

Not only do you want your workspace to be functional and have enough room for your computer, monitors, phone, printer, and any other items, you want it to be comfortable. The benefits of working from home include the ability to dress as comfortably as you want to, adjust the temperature to your own needs, and minimize distractions from other people in your space. Make sure to add in a comfortable chair and consider ergonomic add-ons such as a cushioned mouse pad or wrist support.

How to Maximize Productivity When Working from Home 

Working from home is a great way to save time and money (no commute!). Here are some tips to maximize productivity:

• Carve out a designated office space and office hours. This can help you and your family maintain a better balance between work and life while doing everything at home. 
• Let your family know the times you will be working, having meetings, and when you don’t want to be disturbed. You could even have a whiteboard that lets people know if you are busy or available to take a break! 
• Eliminate distractions. If you find yourself getting sidetracked by chores, watching TV, or being on your cell phone, make sure your home office doesn’t include any of these distractions. Keep it clean and organized and put distracting tech items in another room where you can only use them during breaks. 

Optimal Home Layout & Floor Plans for Remote Workers

When deciding where your office space will be, consider the adjacent rooms and who may occupy them during your work day. It might be smart to avoid heavily trafficked areas! In addition, consider a space with a window (or two!) to allow for natural light and a pleasant view.

While you might be focused on how to create your perfect office and work-from-home sanctuary, don’t forget to make the rest of your home a beacon for relaxation and function. This is a great time to create a dedicated area such as the living room, den, or bedroom where you go to relax and unwind after a long workday. No work items should be allowed in this area to maximize relaxation and help you reduce stress. 

Your personal preference and budget can also determine whether you would like a single-section or multi-story home. For instance, a home with a second story can provide more privacy but you may not want to work right above a noisy living room. A single-section home can still provide enough room for a home office away from the main areas with the ability to easily check in on your family if you need to. 

Our Picks for the Best Champion Home Floor Plans for Remote Workers

Olivia

First up is the Olivia. The multi-section home is 2,560 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The Olivia features a den and a living room, which can give you the functionality you need. Let’s say your kids take over the living room after school and you can continue to work in the den while keeping an eye on them. If you need more privacy, you can make one of the bedrooms into an office space. The primary bedroom is on the other side of the home, making it another great option to work in if you have a larger family. This home also features a spacious patio in case you like to bring your work outdoors on nicer days.

Kritzer

Next is the Kritzer, part of our new national series called The Altitude. This is another multi-section home with 1,699 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. As you stroll down the hallway from the kitchen and dining room to the secondary bedrooms, there is an open tech room. It features a built-in desk with shelving, drawers, and two seats. This would be perfect if you live in a home with two remote workers or would like to help your child do their homework while you continue your work. The open concept is great for those who don’t need as much privacy but still want all the functionality and extra storage for working at home. It also comes with a whiteboard and corkboard to ensure you don’t miss a deadline or appointment

Innovation 1668H

The Innovation 1668H is another amazing option for remote workers. At 910 square feet, this single-section home has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. While it may be a bit smaller in space, it is high in functionality. As you walk past the kitchen and living room area, there is a built-in office space in the hallway across from the secondary bedroom and bathroom. If you need to store files and items for your job, it has plenty of cabinets and drawers as well as a spacious desk for all of your gadgets. This would be ideal if only one family member works from home.

Big Sky

Next up, we have Big Sky. The multi-section home is 1,800 square feet and boasts 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Just off the kitchen, the home features a corner office space with plenty of cabinets and counter space. This area could work for one or two remote workers and gives you all of the room you need to be productive but remain close by to watch your children or pets.

Davenport

Lastly, we have the Davenport at 1,600 square feet. The multi-section home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Like many of these homes, the layout of the house has a dedicated built-in office space in the hallway or you could convert one of the bedrooms into a more spacious and private office. The built-in desk has just enough room for one remote worker and is just outside of the secondary bedrooms.
