Your home office is a space that allows you to be productive while away from the hustle and noise of an office building. But just because it’s for work doesn’t mean it has to be dull or simple. Maximizing your existing space to create a home office that’s comfortable, functional, and stylish isn’t difficult with the right design. These home office remodeling ideas can make working from home more efficient while adding value to your property.

Your Guide to Home Office Remodeling

1. Install Custom Built-In Bookshelves

Depending on your profession, you may rely on old-fashioned books for some tasks. Installing a built-in bookshelf offers a way to display your work awards, family photographs, and resource materials in a convenient place. The right remodeling company can even install recessed bookshelves to maximize your existing space.

2. Add a Media Center

Many workers depend on phone or video conferences with others to collaborate or pitch ideas. Having a media center in your office provides a television that can double as an outlet for break time and a flat-screen display for computer projects. It also allows you to watch videos for research or practice presentations on a large screen. A custom-built media center should accommodate a flat-screen display, digital video recording device, and projector.

3. Include a Mini Kitchen

Many hard-working employees fail to eat lunch because they don’t want to leave their desks when they’re busy. While you don’t have to install a stove — unless you want to — adding a minifridge and microwave to your home office allows you to take convenient food breaks without leaving your desk. Custom cabinets can even be built to hide both appliances when they’re not in use.
