Transform any area of your home into a sleek workspace
Custom designs provide flexibility to create a home office virtually anywhere there is space
COVID-19 may have changed the way people work forever: even with the gradual reopening of businesses, more of us are working at home, a shift that could outlast the virus.
For all the benefits of working remotely, there are drawbacks if you don’t have a dedicated home office. It might mean taking calls in the kitchen, typing at the dining room table, or reading on the couch, our laptops living up to their name. You might have computer cords cluttering up your countertops and papers competing for space with your remote controls.
Then there’s the new reality of multitasking families, which might consist of one or two parents working from home while their kids take classes online. When several people are doing their jobs and schooling at home, the whole place can start to feel much smaller, fast.
There’s a solution: California Closets can transform any area of your home, no matter how large or small, into a sleek workspace through its gorgeous custom designs.
“We can create a home office anywhere there is some space: a little alcove by a stairwell, a spot beside your fireplace, or in an open living area with a tip-down desk that’s concealed behind doors when you’re not using it,” says California Closets’ design consultant Danielle Lapointe. “If there’s enough space to sit at, we can make a desk of practically any size, and we can create ways to hide clutter so that you’re not looking at your work stuff all the time.
“As designers, we’re all working form home, too, and we know how important it is for new design to fit in with your existing style,” she adds. “That’s the beauty of custom. We solve problems.”
California Closets has been designing tailor-made home offices for individuals, couples, and families for more than 40 years. By blending beauty and function, its designers help people maximize their space (which is especially important in smaller homes), creating efficient, organized and ergonomically thoughtful work spaces while keeping clients’ homes feeling home-y.
Floating wall units and wall beds are especially popular solutions. California Closets’ designers can also work in beautiful lighting, accessories to manage wires and cords, soft-touch cupboards with slideout shelves that hide away printers; fully articulated pull-out keyboard trays, and much more. Approximately 90 per cent of the materials, from contemporary to traditional, are made right here in B.C.; the remaining top-quality selections are sourced from Italy. Add in the hardware of your choice, and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind piece that fits your home, taste, needs, and budget.
In an industry first amid the era of physical distancing, the B.c.owned company is now offering Virtual Design Consultations. Using Zoom, Facetime or other technology, California Closets can create seamless, personalized improvements. California Closets’ meticulous COVID-19 practices include thorough cleaning of products and the use of gloves and masks among installers.
