Make your home office work as hard as you do. Whether you’ve turned your closet, kitchen or spare bedroom into a workspace, here are five simple ways to make your space more functional and stylish.
Define your workspace with a playful accent wall behind your desk. Color, pattern and texture add depth to a tight room. For a quick project, opt for peel and stick options. New and improved peel and stick looks are made of glass, stone, wood and metallic materials for an authentic feel without mortar and grout. It’s a DIYer’s dream.
Replace carpet with a durable wood-look option. Stubborn office chairs glide easily on hard surfaces, and cleanup is simple when it comes to school project messes. To withstand scratches, look for performance laminate and vinyl options, specifically designed to resist everyday wear and tear. Cork back flooring, like Nucore with Whispercore, is also a plus for bustling households, thanks to the soundproof benefits.
Kitchens often become a catch-all space for cooking, mealtime, homework, emails and game night. Make your workspace fit in effortlessly with your kitchen’s style, so the desk nook becomes an amenity, not an eyesore. Select a matching or coordinating backsplash for the area above your desk that complements your kitchen tiles.
Make your walls stylish and functional with two lightweight materials: cork and molding. Apply cork to the wall and frame using an unfinished molding you can paint to match your space. We recommend selecting a casing-style molding for a polished edge that looks like artwork. Keep tasks, checklists and calendars at your fingertips.
Give yourself the flexibility to work in any corner of the room. Prefab countertops are a stylish option for adding a few extra square feet of workspace to a kitchen, closet or laundry room. For casual spaces, we suggest butcher block for its warm tones and furniture-like quality.
