Can you post more pictures so that we can get a feel of the room and see where the door(s) are, pathways, etc. along with, if you can, draw a simple floor plan with dimensions on quad paper showing windows and doors.

It looks like you have plenty of room in your bedroom.

For some people, it's not relaxing to see their undone work, the memos that need to be written as they go to bed. You can find that your bedroom is taken over by stuff like printers. If one partner gets up early/stays up late when the other wants to sleep, there's a conflict.

You also need to think very carefully about computer placement. We did this combo once, when we had a sudden downsize moving to a new city. Hard to sleep if DH was up late making clicky keyboard sounds and his large monitor glowing. I also wake up if he's using his iPad in bed in the early morning hours. Have a screen, or position the desk so the back of the monitor faces the bed.

A bad idea! A doubly bad idea unless it can be closed from view. No way to know that without an accurately measure drawing of the space,. All the walls, windows , openings to bath, to hallways, to closet etc. Uploaded as a very neat and legible jpeg.

You should include....how MUCH an office. By that I mean a writing table and a place for a lap top? Or multiple monitors , a ton of supplies,etc.

Your question minus a lot more info, can't be answered.........to include......will dh actually go up and down stairs if that is the case, to work.!

I can't think of a single positive, sorry.

Well OP stated a positive--getting better use out of the entertainment room. I can understand that--I basically never go into our bedroom during the day except to fold laundry. If that's OP's habit, it might be worth downgrading the bedroom looks to gain comfort in a main living space. As long everything (furniture placement, DH's work schedule) can be aligned so this doesn't compromise anyone's rest.

Can he fit his whole setup into the bay window you're showing with the chair and a half in it? You could get a folding screen to hide it when he's not using it. Show us a floorplan of the room and what his setup looks like now to get better advice. As Jan says, there is a wide range of requirements for home offices so we need to know what his space requirement is.

I agree with mcarroll— it depends on both of your schedules and sleeping/ getting ready habits to offset the general negatives of having a major workspace in the bedroom.

That includes the potential negative impact on DH’s sleep , since the classic medical advice for best sleep is to avoid TV, computers, working, etc in bedroom. “ Sleep hygiene “. So it’s possible he could be more adversely affected than you, but possibly subtly so the impact isn’t realized at first. I agree it also depends on what office is for. Is it a regular full- time day, and is it controllable hours where one tries to implement those classic WFH tips like having a start & stop routine, that helps separate WFH from family time & downtime? Or is it in addition to an office job, and for personal office type stuff, bills etc?

Some of that overlaps with the entertainment room— I could see some schedules where if your own schedule is ok with office in BR , & DH “ finishes” work at some usual time and relocates to the other room to be “ off work.”

Not one posivite and it seems he already has his home office somewhere else so a double no way.

If he does zoom calls he can use a virtual background, even take a picture of his current background before the move and use it, so no one is the wiser.

Generally I think it's a good idea to use underutilized space in a home, e.g. a primary bedroom sitting area in your case. The benefit will be to create or recreate an entertainment area you will use more often.

Not enough enough information to give an opinion. It worked in our home since my home office was for very occasional use ( my work office was off site ) i don’t care for home offices in living areas that are used daily unless it's in a separate room that can be closed off.

My husband resists my hints to get a smaller desk, which is in our guest bedroom. And it's just for his hobby-related stuff, since he's retired. He likes room to spread out his stuff on his enormous desk with a large run-off LOL. Good luck!

I would strongly advise against doing this. First, containing the clutter will always be an issue, and second, your bedroom should be a restful sanctuary, not a reminder of all the work you need to do. I would try very hard to find another place to put it.

I would not recommend this at all. In my opinion, a bedroom is just that a place to sleep and the extra activities 😉. I personally do not allow any electronics in the bedrooms, just the way I am. I feel having an office in there would just not workout.

At one time, I had my office in our bedroom. It drained my energy. It was difficult to stay asleep, knowing I had lists of tasks to do in the morning. It was also distracting while I was working, feeling so unprofessional.
