A Home Office that Inspires

Working from home is here to stay and if you are one of the many that get to take advantage of this new way of working, be sure to take the time to evaluate your space and make sure you are set up for success. Or better yet, start from scratch in a new Tri Pointe home at Woodlands Reserve in Kirkland, Washington.

Whether you are the kind of person that needs lots of natural light and windows to provide momentary inspiration. Or you need doors that close (and lock) to properly focus on the task at hand, all of these important architectural nuances can be catered directly to your working style. The key to designing the right home office is all in the intent. Think about how you will use your home working space.

Here are a few things to consider when creating your own inspiring home office.

Find the right space.

Fortunately, a home office does not have to take up a lot of space. Most homes provide plenty of good spaces for a small workplace. If all you need is a desk and a chair, you can set up shop just about anywhere. Home designs at Woodlands Reserve offer flex spaces, perfect for a home office. If working is not all you need to focus on, consider finding a tucked away space on your main living floor where you can keep any eye on what’s happening in your home while still having a sense of privacy to focus on work tasks.

One size does not fit all.

If your home office set up needs to level up, you will want to consider a private space within your home. Keeping your workspace separate from your living area helps transition from personal to work time. Being able to walk away at the end of the day and disconnect from work will create a healthier work life balance. A separate workspace also helps with organization. Consider custom built-ins to help create a dedicated space where organization can thrive.

Let light inspire.

Ample lighting helps you avoid eye strain and fatigue. Position your desk to take advantage of any overhead ambient or natural light from windows. Then add a desk lamp and accent lighting to ensure you have enough available light sources. Are you zooming all day long? Be sure the space you choose provides the perfect lighting that you need for your on-camera calls.

Let your style inspire.

Inject some personality into your space, and it will never feel like a cubicle. Add family photos, favorite art, inspirational books and even a cozy throw. Your home office is not just a temporary space anymore. Make it your own, by bringing in items that make you happy. Don’t know your style? No problem. At Woodlands Reserve, let the designs by Bobby Berk, design expert and Emmy-nominated TV host of Netflix’s ‘Queer Eye’, help inspire your workspace.

Let nature inspire.

Plants are a natural way to bring color and life to your workspace. When your home office is just not cutting it, at Woodlands Reserve you can step outside year-round and set up shop on your covered deck. Let the pitter patter of rain inspire your next creative breakthrough.

When you need more inspiration.

Not everyone can sit in the same space every day, or even for an entire day. If you like to hop around, be sure you have the right HomeSmart technology. An Eero mesh Wi-Fi system helps provide reliable connectivity throughout your home. Even better, it is included in every new home at Woodlands Reserve. With today’s advanced technology, it is easy to work from almost anywhere. Even if your home does not have a dedicated office, you can create workspaces that encourages creativity and productivity.

You never know where Inspiration will spark.

The rest of your office does not need to know that you sent that email while relaxing on the couch, or you wrote your newest proposal while soaking in the tub. The benefit of working from home is that inspiration can hit you just about anywhere.
