Excellent Guide to Planning Any Home Office,
By ARW "foow524" (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Home Office Planner (Spiral-bound)
Many home design guides often assume you have unlimited space and money to design your home. This book contains examples on how to convert not just newly built large spaces, but even small odd shaped spaces, such as under stairwells and in attics into useful home offices. There are also many examples of the different furniture and decorating possibilities. A must have for anyone planning a serious home office.
