Nate and tech expert Katie Linendoll share their tips to creating a functional and efficient home office space.

Home Buisness Space
Nearly a quarter of Americans today work from home, and many are working from a home office that serves a dual purpose. When running a business from home, it's important to not only create an organized work space, but also to invest in tech tools to run your business efficiently. -
Home Office Before
Nate offered to help guest Leslie, who's using her living room as a home office and needs help arranging the space.

Home Office After
If you're using a bedroom or living room in your home as your office, Nate recommends investing in an inexpensive screen as a functional and visual divider between your living and work areas. For the office side of the screen, Nate added corkboard, peg board, and sheet metal with magnets to keep paperwork and important contacts organized.

Office Wall Divider
Nate added wallpaper and painted the opposing side of the wall divider so it fit seamlessly into the room, making the "living side" of the screen beautiful while keeping the "working side" functional.
