Rent a workspace in Amsterdam and work flexibly by the canals
Working from home has its limits. Sooner or later you reach the point where you need a professional workspace outside the house. Amsterdam offers plenty of options, but which one suits your situation best? We’ve lined up the different ways to rent a workspace in Amsterdam, from flexible solutions to your own office. And we’re happy to talk you through the pros and cons.
The different options for renting a workspace
When you start looking for a workspace in Amsterdam, you’ll come across a few different concepts. It helps to understand how they differ:
Flexible workspaces (per hour/day)
Shared workspaces where you can rent a desk temporarily. You pay per hour or per day and get access to wifi, coffee and often printers too. Popular with freelancers and people who occasionally want to work away from home.
Office spaces (longer term)
Private offices that you rent for a number of months or years. You have privacy, can set up the space to your own taste and have a fixed place to work. Ideal for growing companies.
Meeting rooms (per day/half-day)
Professional rooms you can rent for presentations, client conversations or team gatherings. Handy if you usually work from home but sometimes need a representative space.
Flexible workspaces: convenient, but with limits
Flexible workspaces have become hugely popular in Amsterdam over the past few years. You’ll find them everywhere, from Amsterdam Noord to the Zuidas. The concept appeals to a lot of people: no long contracts, but all the facilities you need.
The advantages of flexible workspaces are clear. You can try out whether a particular location suits you without committing. Perfect if you occasionally need a change of scenery or want to come across as professional during video calls.
Why choose your own office space?
A private office offers advantages that flexible workspaces can’t match. First, you have privacy. You can take calls without others listening in, receive clients in a quiet setting and work without distraction. You can also set up the space exactly how you want it. Your own desk, your personal things, a workspace that’s truly yours. That brings calm and helps create a productive atmosphere.
For growing companies, a private office is often the logical next step. You have room for your team, can store materials and create a professional image that matches your ambitions.
