How should I go about decorating the office or bonus room in our new house?

Answer by  Purple (948)

It depends on your needs. If you need an office then it is best to go with that. It will keep you organized and your house won't get as cluttered if you keep it all in one room. If you don't need an entire office then multi-purpose the room. Put exercise equipement, crafts, tools, spare closet, TV room, etc.

The best way to decorate an office or bonus room in your house would be to first consider what who will be using this room the most. Next consider what it would be used for. And lastly you would need to decorate in a manner that clearly states what the room is intended to be used for.

In a home office or bonus room, storage is key! Look for multipurpose furniture, like credenzas, that can accommodate frequently used items on top but also have concealed storage underneath.

The most important thing to keep in mind is how you'll use the space, know if you're a "piler" or "filer," and how much light you'll need, then work around that. If it will primarily be an office space, you'll want simple lines and subtle colors for less distraction.

First you should decide what exactly the room will be used for. Once this is established then you can start by picking out colors you like. Chosing a lighter color achieves a larger looking room. If it an office rember to keep the tone subtle, otherwise be creative.

The office should be friendly space to do work, both business and personal. It has to be funtional as well. The first thing is a very comfortable chair and a big workspace. Make sure you have room to write in addition to using the computer. The next thing is lighting. Both on the ceiling and on the desk.

Determine who the room will serve first. The room should be designed to cater to the user's needs and should flow well with the rest of the home.
