Enclose Formal Space to Make Office Space. Good Idea or Bad Idea?
Comments (8)I think it definitely would add value to your house because the next owner wouldn't have to go through what your going through now. I think you're right that people want more usable, functional space. Too many people think they want totally open spaces but they end up with what you have now with wasted and useless space. and in furnishing those purposeless areas, they end up with something that looks like a furniture store showroom. Boring! I agree with squaring it off and placing the French doors facing the foyer. An added benefit when finished, is you gain some wall space in your living room for a wide but not too deep statement cabinet that could hold a lot of the kids' toys and games. If you have frequent guests and need an extra bed, I like the idea of a fold-up couch or desk/bed set-up to give the room an extra function....See MoreWe need ideas to convert this extra space into a home office. tq

Comments (3)I'd paint the walls a creamy white, not stark, including the trimwork. Like SW Alabaster or a beige white to blend the color of the cabinets with the wall for a fresher look, not contrast. Leave the 'backsplash' maybe add a fabric pin board for interest. the knobs and pulls are just interest, do whatever you like, why the change in countertop? want or need? Get a new light fixture/fan... they do make integrated flush mount fans with light, but ambient lighting will add a better feel, floor lamps, desk lamps, what about the rest of the room....See Moresmall office space decor help!
Comments (1)Here is a concept. Ignore the colors, this is just for layout. Move the lamp and add side table and accent pillows. Two heights for the art:...See Morenjmomma
