Tired of being boxed inside an office cubicle? Take your work to these homey co-working spaces!

Rendering nine hours of work in office cubicles can be depressing, coffee shops are filled with distractions and will only leave you penniless, and you surely would rather curl up in bed than work in the comfort of your home. Nowadays, most people consider the environment of their work as one of their top priorities before saying yes to a job offer. That is why more and more companies are choosing to work in co-working spaces that are designed for productivity and effective collaboration.
