The new dedicated work from home workspace must be fully functionable and as impressive as a regular office space. proper seating, work surfaces, lighting, acoustics, and temperature control are all things to think about when building a home office to impress.

Reimagined Layout

As the whole family spends more time at home, homeowners are appreciating the time and space they have to themselves. Look for some creative ways to keep the functionality of an open floorplan but also the space for yourself. 

Healthy Touches
