Lennar Resource Center

In response to the pandemic, many people were suddenly faced with the new reality of working from home. Even as the crisis eventually recedes, employers and employees alike are adopting a more permanent work from home structure that is beneficial for all. But not everyone has a spare room that they can dedicate to a workspace. If you’ve been logging in from your sofa, consider incorporating a designated working area! Below are 3 of our best home office solutions that will get you inspired and provide a semblance of separation to avoid remote work burnout.

Make the Best Use Out of “Dead” Spaces

For those of us who are already tight on square footage, a designated room won’t always be available. Breathe new life into your floating sofa by placing a desk behind your couch for a home office in the living room. You can anchor your desk with two decorative filing cabinets on each side for additional storage space, and a chic chair that will slide out of sight when not in use. 

Make Room for the Kids Too

With school back in session, parents are finding themselves needing a homework station for the kids to get their work done too—far enough away that they won’t pop in unexpectedly in the middle of a Zoom call. Make your family’s after-school routine a little less chaotic by providing kids with a quiet, supervised space to study. You can easily set up a desk in an open hallway or even transform an open landing space for a catch-all area for backpacks and art supplies and utilize what is often an overlooked space.

Upcycle What You Already Have

Have a flex space like our newly opened Elyson model in your home? This can easily be transformed into an open home office! A long-term home office should ideally be a separate space in your home, but not every person has the luxury of a private study. A flex room near the entry gives you just enough distance from your lively kitchen and living room, and easy-to-move furniture and decorative bookshelves you probably already own can provide enough space for even two working adults.

Lennar’s newly opened Bennett Welcome Home Center in the master-planned community of Elyson showcases an open floorplan so thoughtfully designed, the 2,434 square foot, 3-bedroom, 2.5 bath home is often mistaken for a much larger home. With its tall, grand ceilings in the family room and spacious upstairs game room, there is plenty of space to suit a growing family’s needs! Our stunning two-story model is located in the brand-new model park at 23614 Savannah Sparrow Lane. Starting from the $250s, the beautiful and affordable Magnolia Collection includes critical features you will love, such as a multipurpose flex space just off the spacious kitchen, a sizable family room, first-floor primary bedroom, and generous secondary bedrooms.

And with all Lennar homes, Everything’s Included® and every room is connected to the most desirable technology brand devices, which are included in your home at an outstanding value. To take a virtual tour of this home now, click here.
