The demand for home offices is high, with more and more people working remotely. Having a dedicated workspace can help keep you focused and productive. When designing this addition, you should consider several factors, including layout, lighting, storage and the right furnishings for your job. Another thing you need to decide on is the location of your office. Here are some ideal locations.
Guestroom
Do you have a spare bedroom at home that guests rarely use? You can make the most of this space by converting it into your workspace. Turning it to a home office doesn’t necessarily require you to spend a significant amount. Sometimes, simple changes are enough to make your office aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and functional.
If the walls are a dark color, consider painting them brighter, more vivid hues. Hang some decor and paintings on the walls. To save space, you can have a wall-mounted desk, cabinetry or shelving installed. Think about replacing the carpet with more durable, water-resistant flooring. At DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of The Woodlands, we can assist you in choosing the ideal materials for every part of your home.
Garage
What better way to use your garage than turning it into your own home office? Garages usually have enough space to house essential furnishings and equipment. Another plus is that your garage likely already has electricity. It’s a project worth investing in if you need more functional space at home.
ADU or Backyard Cottage
Is there no place inside your humble abode that you can use as a home office? You just have to think outside the box. An accessory dwelling unit or a backyard cottage could be a great alternative. An ADU will completely separate your workspace from your living space. With an ADU, you have the chance to build everything from scratch. Or, it could be a great idea to convert an existing shed or sunroom into a home office.
