When designing your Barrie home, you might want to take time to decide where to put a desk. Regardless if you work from home or have school-aged children, a central hub to manage all the incoming paperwork can be necessary. If having a designated room for an office is not an option, here are some rooms that can double duty as an office space.
Kitchen
Often the hub of a house, this may not be the quietest spot but is centrally located.
Living Room
Another natural choice for a desk, the living room can be a place where you can pay bills and watch your favorite show. Channel your inner designer by disguising the desk in a nook with shelving above it.
Bedroom
The bedroom is a quiet place but can be restrictive if you’re a night owl and your partner is not.
Dining Room
If a china cabinet is not needed, this could be a great place to have a desk. Oftentimes empty, this room could give a quiet place to work and organize. Plus, if you have to store dishes, the drawers on the desk could help.
Empty Place
If your home has a space that is not very functional, a desk might just fit the bill. Just add some long shelving for a handy desk and clever work area.
Entry Way
Close to the front door, this is a great way to keep paper clutter down to a minimum. Incoming bills can be immediately filed on the desk.
Bookshelves
If you have a built-in bookshelf unit, you could save a lot of space by converting it to a desk. This will allow the unit to multi-task with storage and a working space.
Mudroom
A mudroom can double as a coat rack and desk.
Basement
If your basement is finished, this can be a great place to get away from distraction and get work done. Or, if you designated it as a game room, you can take a break from foosball and pay a few bills.
Playroom
Maybe not a traditional place, a playroom can be a great place for a desk. Plus, who couldn’t use extra storage space for all of those toys.
Closet
If there is a closet you can spare, you can convert it to a cute work nook. Take away the door and add some shelves. With some creative decorating, you can create a unique workspace.
Laundry Room
If you have a laundry room with free space, this could be a great spot for a work area.
Nursery
Since you will be spending a lot of time here, it would be a great place for a desk and work while the baby naps. Plus, the extra drawers could hold all of those onesies.
