The home office revolution sounded great in theory – no commute, flexible hours, and working in your pajamas. But as your business grows, that kitchen-table setup might be holding you back more than helping you.
At WorkNest Workspaces, we’ve helped hundreds of Lagos professionals transition from cramped home offices to productive, professional workspaces. Here are 5 telltale signs it’s time for an upgrade:
But why are so many of Ikeja’s brightest minds making the switch? Let’s break it down.
1. Your "Office" is Invading Your Personal Life
You know it’s bad when:
• Your family treats your “work zone” as storage space
• Your laptop permanently lives on the dining table
• You can’t focus because of household distractions
WorkNest Solution:
✔ Dedicated workspace that physically separates work from home life
✔ 24/7 access so you can work when you’re most productive
2. Client Meetings Mean Awkward Café Hustles
Home offices fail when:
• You’re constantly booking (and paying for) coffee shops
• Background noise ruins important calls
• You hesitate to invite clients to your “office”
WorkNest Perks:
✔ Professional meeting rooms by the hour
✔ Impressive GRA address for your business cards
✔ Reliable, high-speed WiFi for seamless Zoom calls

3. Your Productivity Has Hit a Wall
The home office trap:
• Constant interruptions (deliveries, family, pets)
• No structure to your workday
• That couch is way too comfortable for afternoon slumps
Why WorkNest Works:
✔ Ergonomic chairs and desks designed for focus
✔ Community of motivated professionals (peer motivation!)
✔ Quiet zones when you need to deep dive without distractions
4. Your Business is Growing (But Your Space Isn't)
Growing pains include:
• No space for new team members or equipment
• Important documents mixed with personal items
• Feeling “stuck” in your business growth
Our Flexible Options:

➜ All-inclusive amenities so you can focus on growth
5. You're Missing Out on Connections
The hidden cost of working alone:
