Building Your Home Office
You now have acquired your dream job. You get to work from home. Your work desk is sitting in the living room and trying to concentrate on work while your son and daughter are fighting over the t.v remote or waving your arms frantically in the air to get the kids attention to tell them to quiet down while you are on a business call. This is not what you envisioned when you thought about working from home. It's time for you to have your own space and a home office built. You would not be alone, 3.9 million Americans work from home so it not a big surprise that home office remodeling is one of the hottest types of room conversions requested for contractors.
Home office remodels require some thought and detail. Below are some simple idea's to help you have that perfect home office.
Spacing Requirements
Spacing should be something you consider first and foremost. Having adequate space to run your home office where you don't feel cramped or cluttered. Remember you are going to be spending at least 8 hours a day in your home office. You want the room to not only fit all of your equipment but also a lot for the room if you have to meet with a potential customer.
Noise Reduction
Another thing you should consider when building your home office is noise. You want your home office to be placed in a part of your home where you are going to be able to work quietly and productively. If your home is not set up for this you might want to consider talking to the contractor about adding soundproofing drywall to the room or believe it or not there is also soundproof paint available on the market today. Adding a rug in your home office will also reduce the noise level as well.
Proper Equipment
Having proper equipment should also be a top priority on your list of to-dos. Spending the money for a contractor to come in and do an office remodel and then having inadequate equipment is defeating the 
purpose altogether. Making sure you have a proper business set up will only improve your productivity. Select a desk that is big enough to fit all of your equipment as well as giving yourself extra room for growth in the future. Stand up desks that are new on the market today allows someone to either sit or stand to accomplish their work. The research is now showing that sitting for prolonged periods of time is not good for our health so a standing desk is a great solution to alleviate that issue.

You want a chair that is not only comfortable but adjustable as well to raise or lower to adjust for the proper position while sitting at your desk.
Speaking with your contractor to make sure that your home office has proper electrical outlets that will be more than adequate to be able to plug in all your computer equipment and accessories without blowing any fuses. There is nothing worse than working and having a power outage or a blown fuse and losing all our work. Another recommendation is purchasing an APC uninterruptible power supply with surge protector for this very reason.
Proper Ventilation
Having proper ventilation installed into your home office helps to keep the air circulating for all your electrical equipment. High humidity levels can contribute to your computer or other electrical equipment not working properly. Another way to clean the air is to introduce green. Did you know that a recent study shows that people who have plants in a home office are 15% more productive?
Good Lighting Source
Natural lighting is always a great addition to your home office. Installing a good sized window to allow natural lighting will help you not feel like you have been stuffed in a box for 8 hours. Also providing a good source of artificial lighting into the home office is essential. Installing an overhead light in the ceiling that has a dimmer for adjustment is a perfect solution to your home office lighting requirements.
