Our Blog Articles & Updates from TruStone Homes

Remote work has become increasingly common since COVID. Some are full time remote workers while others can go stay home a few days a week. Either way, we’re seeing our home office a lot more lately. So whether you’re settling into a new TruStone home or looking to give your current workspace an upgrade, we have some tips for you. Because when you have the freedom to work from anywhere, why not make your home office a space that fuels your creativity and brings you genuine joy?

Bring the Idaho Outdoors In

One of the best parts of living in Idaho is our stunning natural landscape. Why not weave that into your office design?

• Maximize Natural Light: Position your desk near a window to soak up that beautiful Idaho sunshine throughout the day.
• Add Indoor Greenery: Incorporate hardy indoor plants like snake plants or pothos to bring a touch of the forest inside, which can boost your mood and air quality while you work.
• Choose Earthy Tones: Use a calming, nature-inspired color palette—think soft sage greens, sky blues, or warm, woody browns—to create a peaceful environment that feels grounded.

Functionality Meets Comfort

A truly great home office is one where you can focus easily and stay comfortable from your first coffee of the morning to your final email of the day.

• Invest in Ergonomics: Your back will thank you! Choose a high-quality, adjustable office chair and a desk height that keeps your posture healthy and relaxed.
• Create Dedicated Storage: Keep your workspace clutter-free by using clever storage solutions like floating shelves or a dedicated filing cabinet to keep your documents organized.
• Personalize Your Tech Setup: Elevate your laptop to eye level with a stand and use a wireless keyboard and mouse to create a clean, minimalist desktop that feels professional and tidy.

Most likely you are reading this because you already have or soon will embark on the exciting journey of building your very own custom home. At TruStone Homes, we know that building a house is one of the biggest milestones in your life, and we are absolutely thrilled to be by your side. We believe that your home should be a perfect reflection of your unique lifestyle, which is why we’ve crafted a process that keeps you at the center of everything we do! Over the next few months we will take a moment to discuss our process.

Step One: Vision & Discovery

Before we ever break ground or pick up a tool, we start with our most important phase: Vision & Discovery. We don’t just want to build a house; we want to build your home, and that begins with truly getting to know you!

Here is how we set the foundation for your dream home:

• Defining Your Lifestyle: Before we even meet, we provide a set of thoughtful questions designed to help you define exactly how you want to live in your new space.
• Aligning Dreams with Reality: We then sit down together to align your unique vision with budget realities.
• Building on Honesty: This collaborative conversation ensures we have a solid foundation of honesty in place long before a single shovel hits the dirt.

We love this phase because it allows us to turn your ideas into a concrete plan, ensuring that every detail is thoughtfully considered before the building begins. We’re here to make sure your experience is as joyful and stress-free as possible!
