Digital nomads are the new categories of workers in the digital age of the 21st century. Whether freelance or self-employed, they no longer want to work in a fixed place (in a company office, etc.).
This is how revolutionary workspaces, such as the coworking space, appeared. Uber and Instagram are among the well-known companies that began as startups in coworking spaces and developed into industry giants.
Best Tips & Tools to Plan Your Trip
Coworking is especially appreciated for the flexibility it offers. If traditional offices require signing a long-term lease, coworking spaces give the possibility to book your office for a day, a week, or a month. Open 24/7, they are adapted to the needs of self-employed entrepreneurs in their start-up phase.
Location
The choice of location for coworking depends on the company’s needs and its activities that may be concentrated in one particular area. For other businesses, the location may not be important at all.
A comfortable work environment is very important for the performance of employees. The location of a company should allow them easy access to certain services and amenities:
- Transportation
- Facilities (daycare, restaurants, parks, etc.)
- Schools
- Grocery stores
- Parking

The Room
Very appreciated by young entrepreneurs, coworking spaces offer freedom and professional flexibility. Web developers, web editors, community managers, virtual assistants, freelance service providers, and many others often find themselves in coworking spaces to overcome the isolation of developing a business at home or just change the working routine.
- Planning the future office space allows you to decide where to place furniture and other items. Avoid irregularly shaped rooms and straight-shaped offices.
- Among other criteria to pay attention to are flooring, furniture, and wall color. All this directly affects the comfort of the workplace and the mood of employees when they are in the office.
- Natural lighting remains the priority when it comes to choosing coworking spaces or offices. Make sure that there will be enough daylight during a working day. Large windows with Venetian blonds are highly recommended. Thus, you will be able to adjust the amount of daylight according to your preferences.
- With Dubai’s dry climate and heat, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature is key. The installation of climate technology systems helps to solve the issue in many cases.
Coworking spaces are also well-equipped with furniture and amenities. They usually have stable and fast internet connections, an open space with hot desks and dedicated desks, full offices for small teams, meeting rooms, phone booths, lockers, a kitchen and coffee area, relaxation areas, a printer and scanner, a reception service, and a mailbox.
Design and Zoning
One of the important criteria to consider when choosing a workplace is the uniqueness of the design. The working area should be comfortable and inspire people working there.
- The main rule is not to clutter the workplace, as coworking involves the joint work of many people. To do this, zone the space effectively and use space-saving furniture.
- Modern offices can’t do without lounge zones for employees to relax or do some physical activity. When choosing and organizing a coworking space, pay attention to the availability of a gym, sofa, TV, game station, etc.
- Modern coworking spaces in Dubai feature dining areas with kitchens. Here, everyone can not only eat (and cook) but also spend some quality time with colleagues.
To be productive at work, it is also important to have all your documents and accessories at hand. If a desk does not have drawers and other storage space, it should be positioned near the shelves and other furniture that contain your files. Also, consider electrical outlets and the Internet network — they should be placed somewhere near your table so that you can avoid wires running all over the place.
Concept and Benefits of Coworking
Coworking goes beyond the concept of flexible workspace and corresponds rather to
The advantages of coworking are as follows:
- A solution to optimize costs
Coworking is an exciting option to start a business with little capital. Indeed, it simplifies the life of entrepreneurs by allowing access to equipment that one cannot afford alone due to the lack of finances.
- Coworking to balance professional and personal life
By choosing to work in a coworking space, you can better organize your life. You can focus on your professional activities during work hours and devote the rest of the day to your personal life.
- A concept that facilitates productivity
Self-employed entrepreneurs value their freedom, which is why they choose to work from home. Quiet and organized, the shared office keeps you free from distractions, which is essential to improving your efficiency at work.
- A more professional workspace
Typically, coworking spaces offer meeting rooms equipped with a whiteboard and Wi-Fi connection, among other things, to conduct productive business meetings.
