1. Start at the Doug Parr Homes Design Center

Your home office should be as custom as your lifestyle. At Doug Parr Homes, we help you lay the foundation—literally. Built-in desks and custom storage solutions like file drawers, floating shelves, and coordinated cabinetry not only save space but also add a polished, cohesive look.

2. Plan for Electrical and Wiring Needs

A well-wired office keeps everything running smoothly. Our team works with you during the planning phase to ensure you have the tech-ready features you need:

• Floor outlets to keep cords tidy and out of walkways
• Wall-mounted USB outlets for easy device charging
• Hardwired internet connections for fast, reliable connectivity

These details are especially important for buyers building a home in rural North Texas, where strong connectivity can’t be taken for granted.

3. Let There Be (Smart) Light

Lighting affects mood and productivity. A poorly lit office drains your energy—so we encourage layered lighting options, including:

• Natural light from large, well-placed windows
• Recessed overhead lighting for consistent coverage
• Task lighting like under-cabinet LED strips or stylish desk lamps

If you're customizing a new home, our team will help you make lighting work with your home’s floorplan and orientation.

4. Choose Ergonomic, Functional Furniture

Functionality and comfort go hand in hand. Invest in an ergonomic office chair, choose the right desk height for posture, and consider an adjustable standing desk for movement throughout the day. Accessories like a footrest or anti-fatigue mat can also support your well-being.

5. Style with Purpose

Your office should reflect your personality and values. Choose calming paint tones, add framed family photos or faith-inspired décor, and consider acoustic panels or plush area rugs to reduce echo—especially if you live in a home with an open floor plan.

Designing with purpose turns your office into a place you’ll actually enjoy spending time in.
