Where to Carve Out Space for Your Home Office

Whether you’re starting a business or telecommuting temporarily, having a home office is essential to help you get work done, and you’ll need to consider where you want to set it up. The dining room table or kitchen island may work in a pinch, but it’s hard not to get distracted by other people using the room.

If you want to focus solely on your work, you’ll need to consider a dedicated space. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno has some insights to help you find an office location.

Finding the Right Location

Although your home office can be set up in almost any room, you’ll still need to be sure it is the right fit for your work environment. It should be spacious enough to accommodate the essentials needed for your office, including a desk, ergonomic chair, electronic gadgets/devices and storage space. It should also have ample lighting to prevent eye strain while you work.

To give you a better idea, we’ve listed some of the most common areas converted into a home office space:

Spare/Unused Room

If you have an extra bedroom or unused garage in your home, it will only take a few inexpensive modifications to turn it into your work environment. Depending on the interior design of your converted area, however, you might want to repaint the walls. Consider hanging some colorful artwork and inspirational quotes for added motivation! To help you map out a plan for this space, give DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno a call to request a detailed interior quote.

Outdoor Home Office

If you don’t have any extra rooms in your home, you can consider converting a shed or guest house into a home office. Whether you renovate or build from the ground up, you can have it designed and customized with a wide range of options to suit your office needs. Outdoor home offices also offer more privacy since you’re far from the distractions of your main living area.
