Nowadays, working from home is more common than ever before. COVID-19 has affected home design in some significant ways, so there’s an increased need to have a home office – a room that will look professional, formal, and functional. Luckily, you don’t have to look for a new, bigger home if you already have a spare room at your disposal. Don’t worry; turning your guest room into a home office isn’t a challenging or complex procedure; you just need a plan, a little bit of time, and some creativity.
Get rid of the big and bulky bed
The first step of turning your guest room into a home office is getting rid of a bulky bed in the center of the room. It probably occupies most of the space, which you can now use in a smart way. If needed, you can have an alternative when guests do stay over – buy a fold-down bed. There are many models on the market, and they are all hinged at one end to store vertically against the wall or inside a closet or cabinet. If you had other items for your guests here, such as linens and towels, find them a place in other rooms of your home. Then, it’s time for detailed spring cleaning and really transforming the space.
Minimalist design for maximum productivity
In the place of the old big and bulky bed, you can put a new desk, lamp, and a comfortable chair. Install open shelving in the room, and put all necessary items for your work there. Keep the design light and your workstation clean and tidy, as the most productive offices have a contemporary style with:
Beautify the space with one or two indoor plants – they replenish focus. Put a new rug inside and any details that will make the room cozy. Moreover, try to leave some space for multiple purposes. Maybe you’ll need an area for a yoga mat – for some stretching and relaxing before or after work? There are many home design trends for 2021, and tons of ideas that can help you concentrate and focus on your job tasks.
Rent a storage unit
The majority of us use guest rooms as storage areas. Turning your guest room into a home office will be successful only if you get rid of things you’ve been holding on to but never use. Before putting new furniture in the room, declutter it. A tidy room will improve your mood, energy levels, and productivity. So, see what can be sold or donated and decide to rent a storage unit for the rest. You won’t need an enormous budget for this project since storage can cost less than expected. When you decide on the items that you want to store away, research which facility is the best and cheapest in your area.
Final thoughts
Turning your guest room into a home office will make your everyday life easier and working from home more comfortable. A dedicated workspace will help you perform at your best, and that’s something we all strive for.
