Where in a small house should I set up a home office?

Would it be better to set it up in an extra bedroom, or in a common area? Tips from anyone that works from home or has worked from home would be great…Even open to feng shui advice.

extra bedroom for sure.

keep the home office separate from the living/common area for 2 reasons.

a) reduce distractions when you are working.

b) keep your work, and your social/leisure/play separate.

I would think that you would want it in an extra bedroom so that when you have guests you can close the door or do not have to try and entertain around you computer or filing cabinets.

u could set up in ur living room or dining area, when u are working just let ppl know its work time. Or if u have a basement. You could set up down there, closed doors are lovely arent they?

An extra bedroom would be the best selection.

The only way you'd really want to set it up in a common area is if space is limited or you're dedicating that area solely to the office and all things related.

A home office does not have to be large. Got a walk in closet you could use? Maybe set it up so that you could us a laptop anywhere in your house, but have your private documents locked away.
