If you’ve been working from home for months and have concluded that this situation is unlikely to end anytime soon, you may be giving your makeshift work space a serious second look. You’re not alone.
“We’ve been getting a lot of people asking about ways they can improve their home-office scenarios — both past clients and new inquiries,” said Keren Richter, a founder of the Brooklyn-based interior design firm White Arrow. “It’s definitely a topic right now.”
Continuing to work from your bed or the dining table is unlikely to be very productive, or feel very professional, in the long term. But what should you do if you don’t have an extra room for a proper home office, or even an obvious space for desk?
“Sometimes it’s just about carving out a space within a space,” Ms. Richter said. Or it might involve finding leftover space — like the attic she recently converted into a home office at her house in Pound Ridge, N.Y.
