2. The Location of Your Office

You can’t set the right plan for your home office remodeling without choosing the location of your home office. Below we dive into some common locations for your home office to consider.

Separating Workspace From Home

If you can, choose a separate room for your dedicated workspace. Separating your workspace from the rest of your home has important mental benefits like helping you to concentrate and focus.

You’re looking for a space that is either inherently quiet, like a basement or attic or has a closeable door. Being able to close the door or keep pets out during important calls or meetings can greatly impact your productivity.

Areas that are close to the kitchen or living room are rarely ideal, as you’ll be able to hear household noise more easily. The fewer distractions, the better! If you host clients in your home, be sure the space is either connected to an outside door or very close to it.

Backyard Home Office

Outbuildings, also known as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) or backyard cottages, are by far the most trendy and customizable option for your home office remodel. They are also the most private, though they come with a larger price tag. You can convert a shed into an office, build a brand new studio from the ground up or even design a tiny home with an office. Floorplan options are practically endless and the same goes for interior design.

Convert a Spare Bedroom Into an Office

If there’s an extra bedroom in your home, why not more efficiently use the space by converting it into a stylish and comfortable home office? It usually takes just a few, low-cost modifications to make a bedroom into an office. Since bedroom color schemes tend to be dark and soothing, start by painting the walls in brighter, more wakeful tones. Consider peppering the walls with artwork, framed inspirational sayings, diplomas or awards—things that will motivate you. You may want to invest in a floor mat or area rug to define your workspace within the room.

Wall-mounted desks and shelving can be your best friend when converting a room to a home office. Or you can install a wall-mounted built-in cabinet at an affordable price.

Garage Office Conversion

If you’ve been looking for a better use for your garage, an office might be the solution! Garages are often spacious, already have electricity and have easy access to the home. Though garage conversions can be substantial projects, they can be well worth the investment if your home needs additional usable space. This option is ideal for locations with little extreme weather to worry car owners and plentiful street parking in much of the city.
