Room to Grow: Building a Modular Home Office

Staff Writer · Mar 16, 2011

A modular home office is a workspace incorporated into your home. Such an office is required when your work culture requires you to be able to work 24/7. A modular home is a home prepared by a manufacturer in a factory. Such homes have to conform to the building codes of the location where they need to be set up. Incorporating an office in such a home can be a challenge due to space constraints.

How to Build a Modular Home Office

In order to establish a modular home office in your home, you have to set aside a certain amount of space for the office and furnish it with essentials such as a modular workstation, a desk and cabinets. Several designs of modular workstations are available in the market that can be adapted to all office needs. The adaptability of a workstation makes it convenient and cost effective. The desk should be able to accommodate a computer besides providing you with enough writing and working space.

It should also have several drawers for storage.

Generally, an L shaped desk is a good option if space is at a premium. The chair that you choose should be chosen keeping your comfort in mind. Since a large amount of your time will be spent in the chair, a good ergonomic chair is a good buy. Modular shelves and cabinets can make your working area attractive and provide storage.

Considerations for a Modular Home Office

The furniture of your home office should conform to the availability of space. While buying the furniture, consider whether it’s really required, how well it will suit your house and whether it fits your budget. The color scheme is also important. You can opt for personalized modular home office furniture instead of ready-made furniture in order to utilize the available space to the maximum.

A spare room, a basement or even a garage can be easily converted into a home office. Furnishing it with appropriate modular home office furniture can provide the perfect ambiance required for efficient and pleasant working from home.
