Whether you use a spare room as a home office or guest bedroom, it deserves the same attention as every other room in your house. Yet people often leave theirs by the wayside, with decor and furnishings that lack style and function.

Our Beginning to End Interiors team believes that these rooms should do more than just take up space; a refresh will make yours more usable. We offer full-service interior design solutions for home offices and can explain the possibilities during an initial design consultation.

Interior Design Solutions for Home Offices Start With a Layout

Before you invest in furniture, wall treatments, or decor, consider how you'll move through the space. Do you take many video calls? You'll want to position your desk so the camera catches good light, not the chaos of your filing system. Do you spread out when you're working on projects? Build in surface area where you can lay things out without piling them on top of each other.

Our Beginning to End Interiors decor experts map out furniture placement before anything gets ordered. Where you put your desk, bed, and seating changes how the room feels: cramped or open, scattered or pulled together. We look at traffic patterns, door swings, and sightlines to maximize the space.

Interior Design Solutions for Home Offices Need Hardworking Furniture

End-to-end interior design solutions for home offices and guest bedrooms source well-made furniture. If you spend hours at a desk, a well-made, ergonomic chair is well worth the investment. The desk needs to accommodate a computer setup, your coffee, and papers you're shuffling through.

Circling back to storage, consider custom cabinetry. It costs more upfront, but everything from printer paper to blankets will have a home. If you're designing a guest bedroom or a dual-purpose office-guest room, flexibility becomes even more important. For example, a Murphy bed or sleeper sofa lets the space work for daily tasks and overnight visitors.

Double-Duty Custom Window Treatments for Home Offices

Natural light creates a pleasant atmosphere, but too much heat and screen glare negatively affect productivity and comfort. That’s why offices need adjustable light control. Guest bedrooms need something different: room-darkening options so visitors can sleep in, plus privacy when they're changing. The same window treatment rarely works well for both, but there are ways around this.

Since Beginning to End Interiors is a Hunter Douglas dealer, we can recommend dual-purpose window coverings that serve both purposes. These are just two options to think about:

• Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades: A woven wood shade with a Roman shade profile, made from natural materials like woods and grasses. This style offers an independent liner that operates independently; ask about light-filtering and room-darkening flat liner options.
• Duette® Cellular Shades feature an energy-efficient honeycomb design that regulates room temperature. The fabrics come in an unmatched selection of opacities, colors, and textures; they even absorb up to 70% of sound energy, for peaceful working and sleeping. You can opt for the Duolite® upgrade, which combines a light-filtering and room-darkening fabric into one shade.
