Thanks @JohnB5677 ! To clarify, everything you mentioned would be deducted over the course of many years in the form of depreciation / depreciable assets because it's an improvement to the home, correct?

 

That is my main question here, what home office renovation expenses do we draw the line between regular expense vs depreciable expense.

 

If I have a home office and hire someone to re-paint the walls that doesn't seem like a depreciable expense. If I hire someone to change the flooring to a new type that is required for my business needs that doesn't seem like a depreciable expense. These are cosmetic changes, not improvements to the home. So I'm confused when do we label a home office alteration as regular expenses vs depreciable expense.
