As the workplace continues to evolve, the concept of co-working has transformed from a niche trend into a mainstream solution for professionals across industries. Melbourne is known for its vibrant culture and innovation, and so is home to an array of co-working spaces designed to meet the diverse needs of freelancers, start-ups, remote teams, and entrepreneurs. With many and varied options out there, finding the right coworking space in Melbourne for you can feel overwhelming. The decision goes beyond selecting a desk—it’s about choosing an environment that enhances productivity, aligns with your professional goals, and suits your personal style. Come with us as we help you to navigate the key factors to consider when choosing a coworking space for yourself.
Understanding Your Work Style
The first step in choosing a coworking space is understanding yourself and your own work style. You might be someone who thrives in a collaborative and high energy environment, or you may prefer a quieter, more focused atmosphere. The ways that you prefer to work will significantly influence the type of space that suits you best.
Coworking spaces like Eclat can cater to a range of preferences and work styles. Creative professionals might be drawn to our open-plan spaces, with thoughtfully designed interiors and communal areas buzzing with ideas and innovation. On the other hand, if your work involves deep concentration and requires more privacy, we can also accommodate you with private offices, or designated quiet zones.
Our tip: first consider how you work most effectively. Do you need access to whiteboards for ideation, or reliable and high-speed internet for your work? Do you require a space that allows for flexibility and networking, or a private space for you to work more independently? When you understand your own unique work habits, you can narrow down your choices and select a coworking space that will best complement you and your work.
Location Matters
Melbourne’s sprawling geography means that location is another important factor in your decision. A coworking space in the right area can decrease your commuting time, and also help to make your workday more enjoyable.
If you’re based in or near the city, co-working spaces in the Melbourne CBD offer the convenience of public transport access, proximity to clients, and a buzzing professional atmosphere. These spaces are ideal for those who thrive in a fast-paced environment and want to network with a diverse range of industries. For those based in Melbourne’s inner suburbs, areas like Fitzroy, Collingwood, or South Melbourne offer co-working spaces with a more relaxed, creative vibe.
Eclat’s Hawthorn space provides a great balance of inner city buzz with the advantage of quieter surroundings. Conveniently located within close proximity of public transport and the CBD, our coworking space in Hawthorn is the perfect option for those workers searching for coworking in a prime location.
Atmosphere and Community
One of the most important and attractive benefits of co-working spaces is the opportunity to connect with a like-minded community. The atmosphere and culture of a space can have a significant impact on your overall experience, so it is worth taking the time to evaluate the vibe of each space you’re considering.
Eclat’s coworking space in Melbourne is designed to foster collaboration and networking, with communal work areas and regular events designed to create connection and a vibrant work and social culture. Ideal for entrepreneurs, freelancers, start-ups, and established businesses, coworking can help you to build connections and grow networks.
Other spaces at Eclat prioritise quiet and focused work, offering a more subdued environment for independent work or meetings. The great thing about Eclat is that you can socialise and network when you want to and it is this sense of balance and flexibility that is a key tenet of what we do here at Eclat.
