Tips for Designing Your Home Office

For most of us working from home has become the new norm. Morning meetings now take place in your kitchen or living room wherever you can get set up. Creating a space that can help you stay focused and productive is the goal for the new work from home generation. These are a few tips to help you successfully design a home office.

Where should the office be located?

A good place to start is deciding where you want your office to be located. In some cases, you can transform an extra guest bedroom into an office. However, if you are building a new home it may be nice to keep the office away from the bedrooms. This way you’re not being reminded of work while headed to bed. The best location for a home office would be separate from the bedrooms and the main living areas like the kitchen and living room. We suggest you speak with your architect about where the best option would be to include your office.

Include Built-In Storage

Make sure to include built-in storage for this space. Keeping your office organized and avoiding clutter will help to improve your productivity.

Personalize the space

The great part of having your own office at home is you get to personalize the space to your style. Choose a color pallet that will help to inspire you or décor that will bring some joy to your workday. You want the space to feel your own and reflect on what motivates you every day.

Conclusion: Tips for Designing Your Home Office

Hopefully, these tips will help to set you up for success in your new workspace. If you’re looking for an interior designer to help you bring your visions into reality feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

Designing a luxury custom home requires more than selecting furnishings or choosing color palettes. True high end residential interiors are the result of close collaboration between interior designers, architects, and builders working toward a shared vision. When these disciplines operate in alignment from the earliest planning stages, the finished residence reflects cohesion, functionality, and long term livability rather than disconnected decisions made in isolation.  For homeowners investing in a custom estate, understanding how a luxury interior designer coordinates with architects and builders provides clarity and confidence throughout the design journey. This collaborative process ensures that interior layouts, structural planning, and construction execution all support one another rather than compete for space or resources.

Designing the interiors of a custom luxury home is a deeply personal and highly detailed process. For homeowners building or renovating high end residences, choosing a nationwide luxury interior design firm provides both creative vision and logistical confidence. A firm that operates across state lines brings experience, structure, and the ability to manage complex projects while maintaining a consistent standard of excellence from the earliest design conversations through final installation.  A nationwide luxury interior designer is not simply selecting furnishings or finishes. The role extends into space planning, material selection, custom millwork coordination, lighting design, furniture sourcing, and the overall lifestyle functionality of the residence. When executed properly, this process transforms a home into a cohesive environment that reflects the homeowner’s identity while supporting long term comfort and usability.

When most people think about interior design, they imagine furniture, finishes, and final styling. In reality, the most successful luxury interiors are shaped long before any of those decisions are made. For custom homes and high-end renovations, interior design should begin at the architectural planning stage , not after construction documents are complete. When interior designers are involved early, they help shape the very framework of how a home functions, feels, and lives for decades to come.  This early collaboration is one of the most overlooked advantages in luxury home design, and one that discerning homeowners increasingly prioritize.

Luxury interior design in 2026 is no longer defined by excess, trend saturation, or price alone. Today’s most discerning homeowners are seeking something far more refined: intentional design, expert execution, and spaces that feel deeply personal while remaining timeless. As expectations rise, the definition of true luxury has evolved into a balance of craftsmanship, lifestyle alignment, and thoughtful restraint.  Understanding what genuinely defines luxury interior design is essential for homeowners building or renovating custom homes, especially those investing at a high level. In 2026, luxury is not about what is added, but about what is curated, refined, and designed with purpose.
