Create a Comfortable, Luxurious Workspace at Home
Designing a home office as you finalize your home renovation plans is an excellent way to upgrade your Santa Clara Valley home. A bright, comfortable space dedicated to temporary or permanent work-from-home scenarios will help you function in style and comfort, without any distractions. The custom home renovation specialists at Flegel’s offer useful tips for creating an inspiring and efficient home office.
Top Considerations for Designing Your Home Office
Fitting a tiny desk into a spare bedroom or a staircase landing may work as a makeshift office for a few hours of work. However, if you spend long hours working from home, think about designing a home office into your home renovation plans.
Here are some considerations for creating an ergonomic and efficient workspace.
- Select the right spot: Location is one of the primary aspects in a well-designed home office.
- Don’t restrict yourself on space. Look for an area that gets adequate natural light and can accommodate a full-sized desk.
- Try to limit distractions. If you work best in a quiet space, creating a home office right next to a children’s playroom or a busy hallway may not be a great plan.
- If the only suitable location that you find for your home office is a noisy one, consider adding soundproofing and echo reduction materials while remodeling this space.
- If your clients are going to stop by, a space with a separate entrance would be ideal. However, if that is not an option, consider locating your office in an area that is closest to the entry and exit points of your home.
- Don’t compromise on furniture or décor: For a dedicated home office, comfort is paramount.
- Invest in ergonomic settings, including a suitable office chair and desk, along with additional seating as required. Choose your furniture based on your preferences and work habits.
- Ensure sufficient storage within the desk or through built-in shelves and cabinets.
- Consider your workflow and the items that you need at your fingertips while planning your room layout and furniture placement.
- Dress the walls in a paint or pattern of your choice, and sprinkle in artistic pieces that reflect your personality.
- Add interesting accessories and stationery to create a productive and inspiring space. Decorative vases, fun mugs and sticky notes, and trendy notepads and bulletin boards provide a cozy touch to your home office.

- Look for clever solutions to tame the cord jungle. Some office desks feature options with concealed tubing or wire organizers that keep the cords off the floors.
- Choose appropriate light fixtures and task lighting to ensure that your late-night work is not a strain on the eyes.
- For smaller homes, the home office may still double as a space for house guests. In such cases, it is even more critical to choose the right furniture. For example, adding a Murphy bed or a smart pullout couch will help your office look spacious, uncluttered, and less like a bedroom.
- Equip your office with the essentials: Ensure that your home renovation plans provide for:
- A steady internet connection
- Enough electrical outlets
- Any other special requirements related to your office equipment or communication requirements
