Home OfficeWith the availability of more and more powerful mobile technology, it’s reasonable to presume that there is less need to dedicate time and space to a permanent home office.  However, we also know that, from time to time, we need the opportunity to isolate ourselves at home, in order to get certain tasks accomplished.  Getting “down to business” is a part of life, whether it’s for a student cramming for exams or a homeowner budgeting for a new mortgage.  Getting these tasks done can require much less time if they’re easily accommodated.  Fortunately, thanks to new modern furnishings that are flexible and adaptable, it’s no longer necessary to create a space that is uniquely dedicated to work.

Nowadays, a homeowner can create a convertible workspace that allows a room to serve a dual role.  By installing shelving that can fold out to a desktop, a worktable with an adjustable height, or a bed that folds up into the wall, any room can have the flexibility to serve as a quiet place to read, study or pay monthly bills, and convert into a cozy, welcoming guest room.  So, the truth is, we all need a home office – but we don’t necessarily need it to be a dedicated single-use space.
