Are you ready for a home office makeover? It’s time to bring in the experts.

Besides kitchen remodels, the number one question we get asked is “can you help me design a comfortable and productive home office,” and the answer is ABSOLUTELY! You want your new space to be a reflection of who you are, and a custom design that makes you happy is ideal, so you can get down to business. In addition to a cool new space, home offices tend to increase the value of your home.

At Tharp Custom Cabinetry, we have a team of creative and talented cabinetry designers that will inspire you to tackle this challenge, and the upfront planning will make a big difference in the success of this project. To get started, we only need some basic input, and we can take it from there.

• Are you remodeling a current room, such as a guest bedroom or a dining room that’s never been used?
• Will this space be used just for you or other family members as well?
• Are you planning to buy a new chair, and do you require secondary seating such as a lounge chair or an ottoman?
• What are the technology requirements for your new home office?
• What are the dimensions of this room, and make sure to take note of the doors and windows, the current electrical outlets as well as the ceiling height?
• What is the location of the room? Basement, main floor or upstairs?
• Will this space be a multi-purpose room? For example, will you be adding an exercise bike or a yoga mat?
• What colors make you most productive?
• What is necessary to keep you organized, and are your goals to create a clutter-free environment? Think about desk surface requirements, filing cabinets, shelves and storage for office supplies.
• Do you want the design to be traditional or modern or a little bit of both?
• Do you have any photos of home offices that you like?
• Do you have enough natural sunlight in the space, or will extra lighting be required?
• And, the two most important questions: what’s your timeline, and your budget range?
