Feeling like you’ve gotta go big or go home when creating a home office? FACT CHECK: Your space doesn’t have to be extravagant or pricey to be perfect for you. Design a space YOU love with these quick tips:... Set up shop overlooking your favorite view: the backyard, neighboring rooftops, or the bustling street. No matter where it is, choose a place with plenty of natural light and that keeps you connected to the outside world. You need a desk, but it can be oh-so-simple. An entry table easily converts or move a table or desk from another part of your home to your new office spot. Place accessories and necessities nearby: lip balm, wireless earbuds, tissues, and an emergency stash of almonds or dark chocolate. Add some greenery. My favorites? Snake plants, African violets, cacti, and aloe vera. Consider a white noise machine or phone app to drown out household happenings. Top off your space with some framed prints, a funky rug, and a comfy office chair. There are lots of perks to working from home the short commute, the lunch meetings with people you love, and your soon-to-be practical and perfect home office. See more

What is virtual staging, you ask? Virtual staging is a tool realtors like to use to position a home that’s for sale in its best possible light.

Like traditional staging, anything can be added from artwork and rugs to beds, tables, and sofas. But instead of lugging real furniture in and out, it can all be done with the click of a bu...tton! Even better? It costs just a fraction of what you'd spend on traditional staging. Thinking about selling and wondering if virtual staging could save you time, money, and a pesky backache?
