3 Tips for Renovating a Home Office

Working from home offers many perks—staying in PJs all day, missing rush hour traffic, and catching some extra z’s are all in a day’s work. While the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages, working from home undoubtedly provides some challenges, one of them being workspace. If you find yourself in the unique position of working from home, then consider a home remodel for your home office. Read on for tips on how to renovate your space.

1. Choose your style. Before demo day begins, make sure you’ve decided on the “feel” of the space. Do you live in a historic home? What does the décor in the rest of the home look like? What will best represent your business? Are there any colors that will make you happy to walk into the office each day? Beginning with a clear vision will help avoid road bumps in the future.
2. Give yourself some buffer room. Any contractor worth his weight in nails will tell you to add 10% to the estimated cost of the home remodel. Unforeseen expenses always pop up in home remodels and this will help alleviate some of the stress when they do.
3. Make sure that storage abounds. Usually the home office defaults to the smallest room in the house, so it’s important to add plenty of storage. Whether that’s through built-ins, cubbies or a closet organizer, you’ll be thankful you added it.

Investing money into your home office offers ample perks. Getting this room organized can help boost productivity and motivation. Who wouldn’t want to work in a beautiful, freshly painted office? Plus, if you often have client meetings, a comfortable and nicely decorated meeting space is important.
