Why a Coworking Space Beats Working from Home (Most Days)

Let’s be honest — working from home sounds like the dream. No commute, pyjamas all day, unlimited coffee… until you realise your “office” is the same place you sleep, eat, and occasionally binge Netflix.

At Area Coworking, we’ve seen countless people swap their kitchen tables for our desks and never look back. Here’s why:

1. You actually get stuff done.
At home, there’s always something to distract you — laundry, deliveries, the neighbour’s dog. In a coworking space, you’re surrounded by others getting things done, and that energy rubs off.

2. Work feels social again.
Coworking isn’t about forced networking. It’s about having real people around — to chat over coffee, to ask for advice, or to just say “good morning” to.

3. You separate work and life.
When you close your laptop at Area, you actually leave work behind. That mental divide makes a huge difference for your wellbeing.

4. Everything’s ready for you.
Fast WiFi, great coffee, big desks, private call booths, meeting rooms… we’ve got it all sorted. You just show up and focus.

So next time you’re staring at your laptop from your sofa wondering if you’re “working,” maybe it’s time to give coworking a try.
We even offer a free trial day at Area — no strings attached, just come and see what it’s like.
