I'm a 1099 contractor & correctly listed expenses for my home office. How do I list expenses for my wife (a W2 employee) - who works 100% from a separate home office?

I'm a 1099 contractor and have entered all my Business Income and Expenses into TT.  Included in my expenses is some direct expenses for my home office and total expenses for the home (which then get allocated as business expenses based upon the size ratio of my office).

My wife is a W2 employee who works 100% from home and has her own, separate office in our home.  How / where do I enter the size of this second space so that I can enter any expenses directly related to her office and so that I can have all house expenses pro-rated to her office too?
