Hi there! Welcome to the “Ask Alexa” series. I’m Alexa Drees, the Design Center Director at Drees Homes, and I’m excited to bring you weekly tips, advice, and answers to your dilemmas to help make designing your dream home an easy and enjoyable process. Each week, I’ll be rolling out a new feature. (If you missed our first videos, you can watch them here.)

Working from Home

It seems like more and more people are working from home these days. And our homeowner’s are no different.  With remote abilities, it has become important to have a designated space within your home that is a quiet area to complete your daily tasks.

Whether you’re an accountant or an Esty handcrafter, we can help customize the right space for you. Your home should reflect your interest and passions while creating a soothing place to complete your work.

Something to Keep in Mind: Furniture and Tools

I really recommend you keep in mind the furniture and tools you’ll be using as well as how you want your work environment to feel.  The materials you use for flooring, wall colors and light can all make a huge impact and help inspire you every day!

Whether you work from home or have a hobby that needs its own space this area in your home needs to motivate you so don’t let it become an afterthought when you are designing your dream home!

Join us next week as we talk about bringing natural elements into your home. For the first look at our new segments, be sure to follow along on Facebook. We look forward to having you join us on this journey of design explorations!

All the best,
Alexa Drees
