Over three quarters of those working from home are unhappy with their home office set-up, according to new research by builders' merchants company Chadwicks.
The survey of 928 people in Ireland reveals that just one in five workers surveyed have a dedicated work space.
A quarter said they have taken over a spare room, 17% are working from their kitchen, 11% have relocated to their bedroom, while 2% are working in the garden shed.
Although many of those surveyed have been working from home for almost a year, 56% say they still don't have the right office equipment.
72% said they are using household items to help with their office set-up, with 49% using their kitchen table as a desk, 53% using a dining room chair instead of a work chair and 34% using books to prop up their computer.
With remote working set to continue, 65% of those surveyed said they plan to create a dedicated home office space in 2021.
While working from home may pose challenges, the research shows that one in four respondents said they enjoy working from home, while half would like to see a mix of office and remote working in the future.
