Turning A Spare Bedroom Into An Office

I had the good fortune yesterday to work with a couple of great guys who literally gave me free rein to take their vacant investment property and turn it into a home.  The home is large with 6 bedrooms, 4 baths as well as a finished basement. 

With so many bedrooms and with so many professionals now working out of their homes, I thought it best to show potential buyers, through home staging, how to use one of the bedrooms as an office. 

Here's the "before" picture:

Now here's the "after" picture:

Excellent!  Will they let you work with more rooms in the house?

Very nice, Kathy!  I like that desk too, it looks like it's just the right size.  Will you share where you got it (or is it a rental)?

Posted by Kathy Passarette, L.I. Staging/Decorating (Creative Home Expressions) over 4 years ago

Karen - Thank you!!  The furniture was leased.

Cindy - You're SO Right!  I had explained that to the homeowners and they too agreed to have me transform it to a home office.  I'm so glad as it turned out really nice. Thanks for your comments.

Joan - Yes, I did the main level (which included, kitchen, kitchen eat-in, family room, formal LR, office and bathroom.  They loved the results.

Kathy - the size of the desk/chair was perfect for the room!  Thanks for your kind words.

Kathy, Very, very nice work. I'm working on a list today for a particular property and after seeing your clock I added "clock" to the list. Very good idea!

Nice job Kathy, I love the plant by the window, is it a silk? It looks good!

Looks great and the home should sell quickly!  Keep up the good work.

Your pictures turned out so well!  (I'm not REALLY surprised...you take good pics!)  This room looks really good!  I love that lamp!!!!!

Kathy, I think when staging a home with multiple bedrooms it is always an excellent idea to make one an office - almost everyone has one these days.
Posted by Sandra Hughes-Redesigned Spaces-Virginia Redesigned Spaces - Fairfax County, VA (Redesigned Spaces - Northern Virginia) over 4 years ago
Good idea, Kathy. And, as always, you did a great job.
Posted by Michelle Minch Home Staging Los Angeles & Pasadena, CA (Moving Mountains Design Home Staging, Pasadena, CA) over 4 years ago

Kathy - it looks very cosy - I might be able to write my first novel in that room! I agree with Abby - the lamp is gorgeous.

Beautiful room Kathy....I love the area rug and the lamp as well. Thanks for sharing!

Very good example of how just a few simple changes can make a big difference, and it also helps to show flexibility in how the rooms can be used. This clearly shows the value of staging.
Posted by John Novak - Las Vegas and Henderson NV Real Estate (Keller Williams Realty The Marketplace) over 4 years ago
Great job... I love before and after~
Posted by Leigh Bates, The Trinity Group (Atlantic & Pacific Real Estate) over 4 years ago
I have that clock!!!  With 6 bedrooms a home office was a very good idea. I usually put one in my 3 bedroom retirement community homes. One Master , one guest, one office - it all depends on your prospective buyers.
Posted by Kathleen Lordbock Keller Williams Realty Brainerd Lakes ( KW REALTOR/Staging & Short Sale Specialist) over 4 years ago

Yvonne - I love using clocks in bedrooms, offices, etc... they're a great item to have in your inventory.

Julianna - Thanks for your kind words.  Yes, the plant is silk. 

Thanks, David.

Abby - I too love that lamp and loved how this room turnd out!

Stephanie - It was pouring rain when I finished the home.  When I took the homeowner through each of the rooms, he made the comment that he could curl up in the big oversize chair with a great book and nod off.

Thanks, Debbie.

John - thanks for your kind words.

Leigh - Me too.  I love looking at before and after pictures.

Thanks, Kathleen!

Excellent furniture placement and you are right about doing the home office. That seems to be what is important to buyers today since everyone work from home

Kathy,
You did a wonderful job. I also changed a bedroom into an office in the last vacant home I staged. It was a 3 bedroom 1 bath and my thinking was right in line with yours.

I would love to be able to work in that office.  Beautiful job!

Posted by Jo Potvin-Home Staging Cincinnati - Design To Market (Design To Market LLC) over 4 years ago

Very nice!  I often advise sellers to show one bedroom as an office when they don't have one elsewhere.  Your picture is fabulous!

Me too, Jo.  FYI - I made the arrangement.  In fact the container it sits in have also been used in kitchens without a floral arrangement. 

Thanks, Kim.
