Do you have a home office that you were thinking about renovating? Renovating your home office is an exciting project that you may be apprehensive about. The reason you may be apprehensive is that you may be on a tight budget.

Create Your Budget

Creating a budget is the first step in upgrading your home office. The first thing you need to do is to decide what you want in your office and what you don't want in it. 

If you can't do this by yourself you can hire a contractor to assist you. Once you hire a contractor you can tell them about your inspiration is for your home office, they will help you create a budget that is within your price range.

Recycle or Sell 

When you are renovating it's a good idea to see what you can recycle or sell to make some money. 

For example, if you have old equipment or furniture that you plan to change, you can see if you can make some money by selling them.

Improve the Lighting

Improving Lighting in your home office is one of the best ways to make the office more comfortable. You could let in a lot more natural light by adding windows where possible or expanding current windows to let in more lighting.

Consider adding acoustic lighting as well. This is especially useful if your home is near a roadway where you can hear noises coming in from the outside. The acoustic lighting will help to minimize noise.

Add Photos

When you’re working being able to look at photos or flip through photo albums can help the day feel less stressful and go a lot quicker. Whether they’re photos of family, friends, your travels, or just nice photos that you’ve taken over the last few years. You can put photos on the wall, on your desk, or even purchase canvas prints. If you’ve got shelves in your study, you could consider putting high-quality photo books on them. You’ll be able to pull them down whenever you like and flip through the photos inside. Each book can be about something specific, or just a random group of photos that mean a lot to you. It also lets you fill your shelving units with something meaningful instead of junk that gathers dust over time. Photo books allow you to view your best memories in extremely high quality, whenever you feel like it.

Add Plants

Plants can significantly impact the look of your home office. Don’t be afraid to get creative when adding plants, just make sure that you will be able to take care.

You can even hang plants from the roof in strategic places, just be sure not to overdo it.
