Whether your work-from-home setup is a permanent thing or just temporary, you should seriously consider adding an office in your home. A designated workspace allows you to focus completely on your tasks without having the clattering of dishes or the noise of children in the background. But where exactly do you carve a space for this office? DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington has a few suggestions.

1. Spare Room

You’ll want a home office that doesn’t see much foot traffic, so the kitchen and living room are a no-go. The bedroom? Nope, take it off the list. It’s a space designated for rest and relaxation, after all. You’ll be yawning the whole time you’re answering emails. A spare room will be perfect, particularly in the attic or basement. Both spaces are enclosed and have their own door. They’re also far enough from the common area to give you the privacy you need to get work done.

2. Backyard Addition

If there’s no space in your home for an office, there’s always the option to take your work outside. We don’t mean the deck or patio, however. Perhaps you can convert that old shed into an office, or, if your backyard has enough space, have a detached addition built. This option offers the most privacy and customization. Because you’ll be building the office from the ground up, the design possibilities are almost endless. 

Zoning laws and other important factors have to be considered when building your home office, but you don’t have to go it alone. Just turn to DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington, the local authority for high-quality home remodeling and additions in New Hanover County. We’ll make sure your home office is built to your complete satisfaction. 

3. The Garage

The garage could be a prime location for an office. It has a lot of space and if the garage is attached to your home, hooking up to existing plumbing and electrical connections will be easy. A garage conversion is a substantial project, but it allows for greater privacy and uninterrupted work, which should make it worth the investment.
