Now that school has started again, maybe it’s time to rethink the homework station in your home. KBC Remodeling Services of Longmont employs expert designers that can create a multi-functional workspace anywhere in your home using beautiful custom cabinetry.
7 Places for a Custom Workspace
- Bedroom– A built-in wall unit in a bedroom can provide a desk and tons of storage for both office supplies and clothes!
2. Spare Room– If you have the space to dedicate an entire room to a workspace, consider setting up desks facing in opposite directions to cut down on distractions. Also think about installing surfaces at different heights so you can stand up (at counter-height) or stretch out (on a window seat) for a change of pace.
3. Family Room– Maybe you’d prefer the homework station to be in a more communal area so you can monitor progress and computer-usage, if so- the family room is the ideal spot. A customized unit in a warm wood finish or painted the same color as the wall will help it blend in with your other décor.
4. Kitchen/Dining Room– Many parents probably spend the majority of their time at home in the kitchen so setting up a work station here may make the most sense. If your home is smaller, an L-shaped unit can fit in almost any corner.
5. Nook– A small nook or alcove under the stairs could be converted into a workspace and might be the best solution to maximize this awkward space! A diner booth with built-in bookcases on the ends is one creative setup idea.
6. Hall– Even a wide hallway can be set up as a study station with a long, narrow desk and seating that moves out of the way when not in use.
7. Closet– If you’d rather have the workspace out of sight when not in use, retrofitting a spare closet is the answer! It will still provide plenty of space for a writing surface, shelving, storage and comfy chair.
Whether you’d like to customize your entire home office or just create a work station in another room of your home, the design experts at KBC Remodeling Services in Longmont can plan and install beautiful and functional cabinetry to maximize your space!
