Do you prefer to have the home office on main floor or basement ?

Regarding the office equipment, if it was in the basement, remember that there is a chance that it could get flooded.

I've since moved my home office to a spare bedroom and it's glorious being able to see outside and see the light of day. Looking forward when it gets warmer to be able to open the window to get fresh air during the day.

Maybe you need to learn to manage your distraction levels if windows are not going to be helpful with your workflow.

Computer equipment and the sun don't mix well, so even a sheer curtain will help with that,

But it's nice to be away from everyone when the kids were home schooling and all of us were here together. I would prefer something on the main floor or second floor but ONLY if it's a dedicated work space area.
