With the rise of the gig economy, demand for temporal work spaces is greater than ever. But moving out of a home office into a co-working environment doesn’t mean you have to give up on homely comforts. Plush sofas, tasteful decor, and a conducive environment – these are just some things you can look forward to in these co-working spaces we’ve rounded up that’ll make you feel right at home. But first, lose the pyjamas.

The scales of work-life balance gets a little easier to manage over at The Refinery. Go hard at work at their minimalist creative space, and refuel at their restaurant located just a flight of stairs down. Part co-working space, part grill-bar, you’ll get none of the generic office pantry offerings. Creative makers and craftsmen will feel inspired in this brightly illuminated work space, and mingle with like-minded individuals after work over some cocktails and moorish bites.

Careful now – you might be reluctant to leave work when you’ve got a stunning space like The Working Capitol. Inspiration won’t be lacking as you work in one of the five historic shophouses, located along Keong Siak Road. With plenty of natural light (goodbye harsh florescent lightings), a stylishly furnished space, and attached restaurants for hosting events, being productive has never been easier. Add to that a beer garden, shower facilities, and a relaxing lounge area – going to work doesn’t sound so bad after all.
