Working from home offers many advantages – from cozy pajama bottoms to no more long commutes. But with constant distractions from family or household chores, productivity can take a major hit when you don’t have a dedicated workspace. Fortunately, you can take advantage of the underused space in your home, such as in your basement. You could create a custom workstation that boosts focus and efficiency. Whether you need to concentrate on schoolwork, office work or a hobby, here are some practical tips that can help stay productive with a basement makeover:
For Your Home Office
You can create a separate zone with an area rug, a desk and some shelves without using the whole basement. Look for ergonomic furniture like a chair and computer station to keep your body comfortable. Additionally, a calendar and whiteboard can help you stay organized with a permanent working space. When renovating your basement, be sure to incorporate a high-quality subfloor like DRICORE® to help provide a warm, cozy place to stay focused.
For Your Kids
With remote learning increasing, your children need a place with low distractions for focus on their studies. It can be hard for them to focus at home with parents, siblings and toys around. Find a section of your basement to set up a little table with chairs, a desk and other school supplies. This lets them distinguish learning from fun with designated rooms for each. Use DRICORE® subflooring to transform hard basement concrete into a soft, comfortable workspace. They can even work on the floor, gather round for story or nap time, or have a place to play family games!
For Your Hobby
To pass the time, many are turning to an old hobby or new skill, such as knitting, crafting, or scrapbooking. Whether you need a place to make jewelry or sew, you can set up a little private workstation in the basement. With a chair and table, and storage containers keeping the room decluttered, you can concentrate on your hobby. Remember to first protect your supplies, inventory, and space from cold, damp concrete by laying down DRICORE® Subfloors.
