How to fit a home office into any room, any corner.
I’ve been living in a renovation for the last two years, during which almost every room in our house has been overhauled. My husband Austin and I have been able to live through this, because A) we have amazing family members who have selflessly lent us their time and talents and B) because we work from home.
While our home renovation ambitions have absolutely benefitted from our flexible work schedules, I can’t say that our renovation has necessarily helped Austin or I get work done. Not surprisingly, It can be distracting to sit down and attempt to get anything done when the doorways are covered in plastic or you have no idea where the documents you need are piled. Since moving in, I can list five different spots I’ve considered my “office” and I’m about to move my work zone yet again.
From there, I've worked at a makeshift desk between our family room built-ins, the dining room table while storing items in the buffet, the living room with storage from a credenza, and now back up in the guest room. We redid it this summer to make it more conducive to work; it now has a circular kitchen table between two little dressers deep enough for storing files and office supplies. Of course, now our daughter is about to move into this room.
Scan your home for under-utilized space that could potentially become a functional work zone, even an empty corner will do. Look around for storage pieces you already own like a dresser, credenza, shelf, etc that can be emptied and repurposed for office space. Even a deep storage ottoman or open cart might work.Consider replacing a large printer/scanner combo with the pocket versions that are more portable and storable.Purchase or DIY small
