Transitioning into a work-from-home role in your career has a lot of advantages, and the process of setting up a home office can be exciting. This work, however, may feel a little daunting — especially if you're trying to manage your career while also turning one of your home's spare rooms into an office space. Instead of burning yourself out with this work, think about hiring a handyman. Their expertise will result in the home office being ready to use faster than if you were doing the work yourself, and you'll have time to focus on other tasks. Here are some jobs in your home office that your handyman can take on.

Painting

Few things can help to make a space look bright and new as quickly as a couple coats of paint. If the room that you've chosen to use as a home office could benefit from new paint, this is a job that your handyman can perform for you. All that you'll need to do is figure out the paint color that you want, and you can trust your handyman to do a professional job of applying it. New paint can help you to feel excited to enter this space each morning, and it can also give the home office a fresh look during your workday video conferences.

Lighting

Another topic to think about is the amount of lighting in this room. You want the space to be well lit to feel inviting, but good lighting is also important when you have video conferences with colleagues. Instead of having to worry about setting up a light in front of you before each video session, your handyman can upgrade the lighting in the room. This might mean replacing an existing overhead light with a fixture that is brighter or perhaps even adding overhead lighting to a room that is currently without it.

Shelving

A handyman can also build shelving that will specifically suit your needs in the space that you'll be using as your home office. Built-in shelving is often handy in an office, given the amount of work-related materials that you may need to store. Whether you use your shelving for reference materials for your job, to hold a printer, or to set up with stylish accessories that will be visible in the background of your video conference sessions, you'll appreciate how shelving can help to keep clutter off your desk.
