Dedicated Home Office Space: The Work Environment Redefined vinyl plank or adding an area rug to define the space, is also an excellent way to establish an easily identifiable boundary.
Personality, Meet Function Another way to separate the space is through personal expression. With various cabinet and storage options, flooring and area rug choices, and the opportunity to add a change in wall color, the options are endless to add a personal touch and make the space truly unique. Promote efficiency and make a distinctive style statement by skipping traditional office furniture and use built-in cabinetry instead. Cabinet configurations designed for easy access to files and supplies come in many colors and styles. Quartz countertops as desktops offer a wide range of possibilities for bringing a positive vibe to work. It is estimated that by the end of 2021 up to one-third of the workforce will be working from home at least part of the time. As more companies realize they can function just as well, if not better, with employees working remotely, this trend is expected to become

Separating Work From Life A dedicated home office should have boundaries according to many experts. This makes leaving the “office� a definitive, physical act, forming a sense of separation between work and life - helpful for limiting distractions and interruptions during work. Depending on home size and layout, home office locations can range from the corner of a spare bedroom to a remodeled attic. Doors, stairs and dividers in the form of furniture or cabinetry can all aid in creating a physical separation. Changing floor

With great style comes great responsibility. Adding a splash of individualization to any design comes with certain considerations. Keeping it simple and choosing one unique feature per room/space is an easy way to ensure a design will remain timeless. When laying out plans for a new design, consider colors, materials, and products and how those mesh together when adding custom pieces. People are staying in their homes on average for 13 years, so adding a splash of personality is a great way to make a house feel like a home right out of the gate.

How do you interact with your in-house kitchen and bath designer as a cohesive team for the trade pro and the client? We have a close working relationship.

an addition, and with a potential payback of up to 70%, a wise investment to boot.
Adding to a home’s unfinished spaces means endless design options. Finishing a basement, attic, or garage means new flooring and storage needs. Converting to an in-law suite might mean a new bathroom, which translates to new plumbing and fixtures. Area rugs, a change in wall color, or additional storage and built-in cabinets give a homeowner endless areas of customization in these newly rethought spaces. No matter how additional space is converted from what’s already there, each option represents a blank canvas waiting to be reimagined and remodeled with new possibilities in a well-conceived design.

Spanning The Home For Options Lifestyles change and sometimes that means a shift in everyday routine. Often, that shift equates to the need for new functional space within a home, whether it be an office, playroom, or an in-law suite. It’s not always an option to add-on or build-up, and budget can be limiting as well. In those cases, there are other creative avenues for adding on to usable space without the need for an addition. Usually, the best places to consider for additional living space are those that already exist in most homes – like a basement or attic. Unlike an addition, there are no concerns about zoning setbacks or losing prized yard space. Also, they tend to offer easier access to the home’s existing HVAC, plumbing and wiring, which
