At one place I lived where there was no room I could dedicate to being an office, I ended up buying a standalone wooden 8x10' shed, insulated it, ran power and ethernet to it, and it served me very well for a couple of years.

Yea, that's another excellent choice! In fact, that was my first idea before deciding to move. I bought a set of plans[1] and lumber and built a 6'x12' shed in my backyard, planning to electrify it and run networking out there. Moving happened before I got around to it.

I'm also using a shed as one of my home office, it was a great excuse to finally experiment with solar power!
