Converting a Bedroom into a Home Office
With more and more people working from home, it can seem like converting an unused bedroom into a home office is a no-brainer. By adding a built-in desk and built-in shelving units, you get an elegant dedicated space to work while you live in the house — and you can advertise the home office as a perk when you sell the house.
But changing a bedroom into a dedicated office can be a costly mistake, since reducing the number of bedrooms in your home reduces its value, and potentially keeps buyers from even looking at your house if it has fewer bedrooms than they want.
If you do decide to use a bedroom as a home office, use furniture to create your ideal workspace, rather than spending money to remodel the room into an office.
