Adapting Your Home’s Core Spaces for Hybrid and Remote Living
The Overlap Between Functional Design and Professional Life
Kitchen and bathroom renovation is something that closes the gap between domestic comfort and professional efficiency. The kitchen should be properly designed and serve as a working place where it is possible to have a laptop or some papers on a countertop, and a redesigned bathroom could be used as a relaxing area to take a break. The kitchen and bathroom remodel contractors of KBR help you to design your WFH specifications with 3D designs to see the workable plans. As an example, one of the clients of Fairfax turned their kitchen into a two-purpose hub, with a custom island that allows them to combine both meal preparation and professional work.
Why Kitchen and Bathroom Design Matter More When You Work from Home
The long hours spent at home also increase the value of kitchen design and bathroom design. An untidy kitchen will interfere with concentration during video meetings and an old bathroom might not give the rest required before the next meeting. According to industry statistics, kitchen and bathroom remodeling can give a 65 70 percent return on investment with an average kitchen project costing $12,000 25,000. KBR is skilled enough to make your spaces not only functional but also beautiful, and we have such materials as quartz countertops and ceramic tiles presented in our showrooms in Fairfax, Bethesda, and Manassas.
