An office of your own makes working from home a whole lot easier. But, we don’t all have a space inside the home to transform into a private office and that’s where a Tuff Shed can help. We’ve got a DIY guide here to help you design your own home office right in your backyard. And even better, you can get everything you need (including your shed) from The Home Depot.

Start with Your Shed

Do you already have a shed in your backyard? That’s a great place to start. Even a small shed can make a big difference when you’re designing your new home office. Clear out the space and start with a blank slate that’s ready for a little DIY design work. If you’ve been storing lawn care supplies or chemicals in your shed, be sure to air out the space for a day or two.

If you’re still hunting for the perfect shed, our teams are here to help design a future home office that fits your needs. Just give us a call or schedule an online consultation and we’ll get you on your way to working from home in style.

Add Interior Finishes

Make your shed feel more like a workspace with a few interior finishing touches. The Home Depot has some great resources when it comes to finishing out a space, including this Drywall Installation tutorial. If you want to add even more style, they’ve got some great ideas, like a DIY Shiplap Wall and Easy DIY Wainscoting. These finishing touches are all up to you, just make sure your new shed office is a space you feel comfortable working in.

Create Your Corner Office

Once the interior of your shed is finished and ready, it’s time to bring in the décor. You can find inspiration and plenty of DIY projects to get you started on our Pinterest page, Instagram feed, and the Home Depot Blog. If you’ve got enough room in your new office, you can even add a cozy chair or two for a place to relax after-hours.

We hope these tips help you design a home office to help you stay focused. When you’ve finished transforming your Tuff Shed building into a home office, be sure to share photos and tag us.
