FAQ

Your Home Office Remodel Questions Answered

What are the benefits of having a dedicated home office?

One of the most significant benefits of a dedicated home office is that it's easier to separate your work and home lives, boosting productivity and satisfaction. Another is that you can equip it with an ergonomically designed desk and chair, which are much more comfortable and healthier than working at a kitchen countertop or dining room table.

How do I start a home office remodel?

Top considerations include choosing a location, deciding whether you need space for meeting clients, and how much storage you need. As with any home remodel, collecting online and print images of looks, layouts, and design features you like is a good idea. For instance, do you want a modern, minimalist space or a room that can double as a guest suite when needed?

How can I personalize my home office?

Everyone's design style is different, but the goal is always the same: a beautiful and functional space that reflects your personal preferences and blends seamlessly with the rest of the home. Some ways to make a home office your own include adding framed photos of friends and family, choosing an area rug, and adding a touch of nature with plants or cut flowers. Some people choose to display travel or sports memorabilia or, for real visual pizzaz, they create an oversized vision board.

Where should I put my home office?

If you have multiple rooms to choose from, pick the one that's most comfortable and lets in plenty of natural light. If your choices are limited, look for a space that, at a minimum, can accommodate a good-sized desk or workstation. Other things to consider are easy access to electrical sockets for computers, printers, chargers, and desk lights, and whether you have enough storage — a mix of closed cupboards and open shelves is ideal. Along with good daylight, you'll also need a combination of overhead and task lighting to boost your mood and maintain productivity.

How much does a home office remodel cost?

The overall budget will include the cost of your new home office if it is part of a larger remodeling project. Otherwise, factors like whether you're adding a wall or window to existing space will affect the price. Other expenses include permits, built-ins, painting, furniture, outlet installation, and soundproofing.
