Now, more than ever, people are realizing the need for a comfortable and efficient personal workspace in the home. With a constantly diversifying job market and an ever-growing number of remote positions, having a personalized home office only makes sense.
However, maintaining a workspace that is actually functional is not always so simple. Many homeowners have a home office, but far fewer really make use of them. If you’re one of the many homeowners whose office simply happened by happenstance, fear not!
VPC Builders knows better than anyone the value of a customized personal space, and we’ve got just the team to make it happen.
Three Great Reasons for a Home Office Remodel
If you’re finally considering a home office remodel, or simply have never had a home office to begin with, there are a number of excellent reasons to undertake such a project. With an experienced custom builder by your side, you can finally take control of your workspace and make it personalized, functional, and more enjoyable.
Here are three of our favorite reasons for a home office remodel:
An Effective Remote Workspace
If you’re one of the many professionals whose job is partially or fully remote, you probably know how difficult it can be to stay on task when working from home. Remote work doesn’t always have the same conveniences as a dedicated, in-person office.
For one thing, the potential for technical issues abounds due to the sheer amount of technology such a job might require. When you undertake a custom home remodel, you have the chance to design a space specifically suited for your remote work. You shouldn’t have to strain to reach the electrical outlet from your desk or worry about whether you’re too far from the Wi-Fi router to get your work done.
Cultivate Your Happy Place
One of the most overlooked benefits of a home office — especially for parents — is the potential for a quiet, personal space, free from outside distractions. Amid the bustle of modern working life, finding peace of mind can be difficult.
A home office is a great way to attain this, but only if the space is outfitted for your needs. A custom home builder like VPC can help you build your happy space.
Optimize Your Space for Your Workflow
Everybody has a unique, personal workflow, even when the job requirements are the same. No two people will thrive under the same conditions. That’s why it’s so important to ensure your home office space is optimized to suit your workflow.
This may mean ergonomic decisions that wouldn’t be available to you outside of a professional home office remodel. But when the result is improved efficiency and work-life balance, the process is so worth the effort.
Ways Your Home Office Space Can Be Improved
If all of this doesn’t already have you convinced, allow us to share with you some of our favorite ways to make the most of a home office remodel. VPC Builders has the experience and expertise to know for sure what makes a great workspace, and we’d love to help you achieve your ideal home office remodel with these custom options:
Ergonomic Features for Increased Comfort
Your personal workspace should be just that: personal (and all else the term implies). To be effective and efficient at your work, you must first be comfortable.
Some home offices miss the mark on this, as the owners are forced to make the best of the space they were granted. A custom home office remodel will allow you to craft the room around comfort.
Maybe this means increasing open space or installing a standing desk. Maybe it means improved airflow, natural light, or a more advanced lighting setup. Whatever comfort looks like for you, it will be attainable when you undertake a home office remodel with VPC Builders.
Sound Proofing for Peace and Quiet
As we said before, one of the major benefits of a home office is to cultivate your personal space. Unfortunately, that’s no easy task when there are other people in the home and various noises throughout the day.
Depending on your specific job, you may find it difficult (or even impossible) without a decent degree of peace and quiet. A home office remodel allows you to plan ahead by insulating your office with soundproofing features. This may come in the form of acoustic panels along the ceiling, weather strips around the doors and windows, or soundproofing mats underneath the floorboards.
Convenience Features to Optimize Workflow
There are a ton of ways to optimize your workspace with convenient features so that you only have to leave the room when you want to.
One of the most important among these is redoing your wiring for internet service. Wi-Fi routers can be finicky — especially if they’re in another room or somewhere else in the house. So why not rework the wiring of your ethernet cables in your remodel so they can be hooked straight to your desktop?
Convenience doesn’t need to stop there. Many home offices benefit from having custom bookshelves built into the wall near the desk space for easy access to your favorite reading material. Others enjoy built-in countertop space where their most essential office equipment (like the coffee maker) can be easily used.
When you undertake a home office remodel, there are countless ways to personalize your workspace.
