Q: Will installing a home office in a spare bedroom add value to my home?
A: It may well do. With more and more people enquiring about flexible working hours and working from home, there is certainly an increase in the importance of having an office in your home, so it will certainly be a selling point.
Q: What are your top tips for installing a home office?
A: Ideally, your home office needs to be in a quiet area of the house, which is why a back bedroom is ideal as it is away from the main areas of the home such as the lounge and kitchen. Think about power points and position everything close by, such as the computer, fax and printer. Storage is also very important as you need to be organized in order to work effectively. Ensure your desk is big enough for you to work with ease and lighting is also important, so ensure the room is bright enough.
Q: Do I need a spare room to create a home office?
A: Not always, often a space can be created in a quiet corner of another room or even under the stairs. Talk to a KBSA retailer who can advise on how to get the most from the space you have available.
