Is your home office personalized to meet your needs? Whether you work from home full-time or just need a comfortable spot to pay bills and manage your household, you deserve a workspace that feels like the right fit.
Personalizing your space is easier when you work with the experts. As custom office designers, we help our clients upgrade their workspaces to feel welcoming and tailored to their tastes.
Here are our tips for custom built-in storage solutions for home offices.
How to Personalize Your Home Workspace
Customization makes all the difference in focusing on your work. You shouldn’t have to waste time struggling with your layout and feeling frustrated about your environment.
What do you need from your workspace?
- A peaceful, quiet space where you can focus on your work
- A double-duty home office with a hidden bed for guests
- A neat, organized room for your many Zoom meetings
- An open-concept office that blends seamlessly into your home decor
Today’s custom built-in storage solutions for home offices can adapt to your style and needs. It’s easy to personalize your workspace with a custom office design.
Declutter and Design
Start by simplifying your setting. Begin with a fresh, clean room and go from there. Declutter your office and donate or discard anything that doesn’t feel right. Clean the space and eliminate dust or debris.
Now it’s easier to picture your custom-designed room. Browse online galleries of home office systems to envision what’s possible in your workspace. Do you need rows of shelves? Drawers and cabinets? A custom closet to store your supplies?
Build the room around your main work area, like a large desk or computer station where you can relax comfortably and work each day. It helps to gather ideas from professional office designers who understand how to give a space order and purpose.
Add Design Style
Next, add style with your favorite colors, textures, and patterns. Consider which hues will set the right mental tone for your workday based on the psychology of color.
- Warm, bright colors like reds and yellows stimulate thoughts and energy.
- Cool blues and greens reduce stress and allow you to relax.
- Pink hues bring feelings of hopefulness and optimism.
- Browns and earth tones feel safe, secure, and serious.
Your home office is the perfect spot for richly-colored wallpaper with a raised and textured finish, which can also help soundproof the room. Carpet and rugs will also minimize noise from the rest of the house.
What if styling isn’t your forte? An interior designer can step in to add their designer’s touch to your new workspace. With their vision, you can bring your ideal office to life.
Liven it Up
Plants help any room feel more alive. Inject vibrance into your workday with easy-care greenery—real or fake, depending on your desire to water.
Indoor plants have proven health benefits. Seeing plants thriving in your workspace can lower your body’s cortisol level, helping reduce headaches, blood pressure, and feelings of stress. This is especially important if you have a high-stress job.
Accessorize Thoughtfully
Your home office isn’t just about your work. It sits in the heart of your home. Infuse the space with personal and meaningful objects that inspire you.
A photo of your loved ones reminds you why you’re working so hard for your family. Gifts and souvenirs bring treasured memories. A large, graceful painting adds instant style and makes the room feel more complete.
Custom Touches to Consider for Your Workspace
As you design your new home office, set yourself up to stay organized. Here are our favorite organizing tips for home offices.
- Gather small objects in chic bins or baskets.
- Install long lines of floating shelves for your books and catalogs.
- Elevate your computer monitor with a sleek box or a clear acrylic stand.
- Use built-in cabinets with interior channels to hide your cords and chargers.
- Store supplies in roll-away carts that slide under your desk or into your closet.
- Place large equipment in custom-designed cabinets and desk nooks.
- Keep paperwork and office supplies out of sight in a new office closet.
