Home Office Conversion with French Doors in Gilbert, AZ

Introduction

As remote work becomes increasingly common, the need for functional and quiet home offices has grown. Craftsman Consulting helped a Gilbert, AZ, homeowner transform an open dining area into a peaceful, stylish workspace. This one-week project included framing in an opening, installing French doors, adding floating shelves, and upgrading the flooring to match the rest of the home.

The Problem

The homeowner was using an open dining area as a home office but found it lacked the privacy and functionality needed for productivity.

Our Solution

1. Framing and Wall Finishing

• Framed in the large opening to accommodate French doors.
• Closed in smaller window-type areas on one side and created space for floating shelves on the other.
• Applied drywall, matched the existing wall texture, and primed and painted the new wall.

2. French Door Installation

• Fitted the French doors into the new frame, ensuring they were plumb, level, and square.
• Installed trim to match the home’s existing design.

3. Flooring Upgrade

• Removed the old carpet and sourced floor tiles that matched the rest of the home.
• Installed the new tiles seamlessly, providing a cohesive look throughout the space.

Final Outcome

The open dining area was transformed into a functional and stylish home office, offering:

• Quiet and private workspace with elegant French doors.
• Floating shelves for added storage and aesthetic appeal.
• Matching tile flooring for a cohesive design throughout the home.
