Working From Home is on the Rise
Many people are starting to work from home, finding it both convenient and productive. The time saved on commuting can make a big difference, allowing more time for work and personal life. Studies predict that up to 30% of the workforce will be working from home, at least part-time, within the next year, leading to a surge in home office remodels. When planning to add a home office, there are multiple approaches to consider. Some people already have a spare room that can be converted, while others might choose to add an entirely new space. Whatever the need, Ability Remodeling is here to help you create your ideal home office.
Use of an Existing Room
Upgrading an existing room is the most cost-effective way to add a home office. While this may seem like a straightforward upgrade, there are some considerations to ensure a successful workspace transformation:
1. Natural Light – Does the space have enough windows for adequate natural light? Studies show that natural light can improve work efficiency and create a more pleasant environment.
2. Electrical Outlets – Are there enough outlets for your devices? If not, adding extra outlets or rewiring can help meet the unique needs of a home office versus a traditional bedroom.
3. Ambience and Layout – Make the space warm and welcoming, a place you’ll enjoy walking into each day. Small adjustments now can lead to a productive and comfortable office environment.
Home Office Addition
Adding a new addition to your home allows you to design the office exactly how you want it. While this may be a larger project, it adds square footage to your home and increases property value. An addition is ideal for those working from home full-time and lacking a dedicated workspace:
• Room Size and Lighting – Customize the space to your needs, with plenty of windows for natural light.
• Additional Amenities – Consider adding an attached bathroom or closet for convenience and storage.
