Upgrade your 9-5

January 29, 2021

Working from home is here to stay. Today, homeowners are looking at office spaces in a completely new light. Instead of creating a make-shift office in an unused space or bedroom, homeowners want a well-thought-out space that lends itself to a successful remote work home setup. A “zoom room” has also been trending. Here are a few ideas to create a functional workspace in the home:

  • Install solid-core doors to reduce noise.
  • Enhanced Wi-Fi – locate the Wi-Fi router in a location that will allow for strong internet connectivity in the office.
  • Natural light is key – ensuring the space has plenty of natural light results in improved moods and reduced stress. One study found that 40% of workplaces with natural light experience 3%-40% improvements in productivity! 
  • Proper lighting - Whether you prefer an overhead light, recessed lights, or a lamp, it can be discussed before the build begins.
  • Paint – Paint the walls a soothing color or bring some personality into the room with a statement wall color!
  • Storage – think about designing your space to be efficient and eliminate clutter. Local companies, such as Clifton Park Glass and California Closets, specialize in designing built-in workspaces for productivity and function. Optimize storage, hide cords, and more!

You want to create a space that combines your personal style and is functional for working from home. If you are interested in creating a space that is both stylish and comfortable in a new home, contact Abele Homes at 518-491-1173. We are happy to help you!

Tom and I would like to recommend the Abele builders who constructed our beautiful home in Sheldon Hills. As first time home builders, we found it challenging to navigate all the decisions that were necessary. The Abele team of Ed, Chris, Phyllis, Sue and the entire staff quickly put our minds at ease in this process. Every step of the way, they were very helpful and understanding of our needs. From the choice of the lot to every detail of the construction we were very satisfied with their attention to detail. After three years in the home, we are very happy with the construction of our home and feel that Abele builders did a wonderful job. We would highly recommend them.
