Planning the Design

In order to plan the design for your home office you need to know what purpose your home office will serve. Will you have clients in your office for meetings? Will your home office be a part of another room in your home? Will you keep your office organized and tidy or let papers pile up? How you will use your office will determine the entire design plan. It would be best if you can use a spare room, closet or attic space for your home office. Somewhere where you can shut the door and be alone in your office will work best. The desk is often the biggest part of your office so pick out the desk first and then start designing around it.
