DESIGN YOUR DREAM Home Office


Home offices are becoming a popular and necessary home feature. Not only are more people transitioning from a traditional office to a residential option, schedules are changing in a way that makes having a home workspace not only convenient, but productive. In fact, a study by Stanford University showed that employees that began working from home in 2020 increased their productivity by 13%. Furthermore, 77% of employees that worked remotely only a few times each month displayed increased productivity. 30% of that group did more work in less time. Whether you work from home full-time, are on a hybrid schedule where you spend some days at home and some days in the office, or simply want a productive space to get more done; here is everything you need to know about creating, building, or renovating a home office.

  • What Kind of Space Can be Converted into a Home Office?

    When it comes to finding that perfect place for a home office, you have many options.  Even if you don’t have a designated space, reimagining other rooms in your home to meet the needs of your residential work environment can create the perfect solution.  Reorganizing your dining room, or carving out a part of a guest room or bedroom can be all be options if adding on to your home isn’t.  With dividers, curtains, and the creative use of space from an interior designer, you likely have more choices for your home office’s location than you realize.   

  • What Type of Lighting is Best for a Home Office?

    Lighting is vital in any area of your home.  This is especially true for the spaces where you are supposed to be effective and efficient.  The proper lights and lighting apparatuses can keep you alert, focused, and reduce the stress and strain on your eyes.  Natural light is ideal, so windows are a great option.  If you have space or a room that include a directionally appropriate window, consider that.  However, if that isn’t an option, LED lighting, task lights, and certain types of lamps in particular locations can also provide adequate, comfortable, and effective illumination.

  • What are the Best Storage and Organization Options for a Home Office?

    Storage and organization are critical for the use of any office, especially a home office.  Cabinets, counterspace, and shelving can all enhance the proficiency and ease of managing your home office; but there are other options.  Portable organization can work in any space.  Baskets, bins, boxes, and totes are all great ideas to keep things sorted and stored.  Wall space can also be used to display photos, calendars, bulletins, whiteboards, and more.  

  • How can Ergonomic Design Improve Your Home Office?

    Ergonomic design and features enhance the efficiency and comfort a working environment.  When you work from home it is easy to stay in your workspace for longer periods of time.  Make sure that your desk positions your computer’s monitor at eye level and is set to an arm’s length away for your body.  Try and keep your hands at or below elbow level, and have a chair that allows your knees to remain level with your hips.  There are a variety of chairs, desks, and other accessories that can keep you comfortable and healthy in your home office. 

  • What Type of Flooring is Best for a Home Office?

    Flooring can also be a key consideration for your residential working space.  Depending on the area of your home and your work habits, your flooring can play a significant role.  Of course, if you are reimagining a part of your home, like the dining room, you may not want to change the flooring.  However, if you prefer to walk around in your office, or like a chair that glides across the surface, adding or changing the flooring type may be a good idea.  Wood, tile, ceramic, and concrete all offer fashion and function when it comes to a home office.  Carpeting and rugs can also add comfort and accents to your work space.  

  • What are the Benefits of Hiring a Designer and Contractor for Your Home Office?

    While you can adapt an existing space with paint and furniture for a home office, you may be missing the bigger picture when it comes to residential renovation.  Whether it is areas of your home that can be transitioned into a workspace, or a full addition to accommodate your needs, the expert opinion, design, and craftsmanship of a professional renovation team is difficult to imitate.
