Do you want to create a nice and
productive workplace? Here are some tips for your office design.
1) Lighting
First of all, remember that
lights are very important in your workplace. A well lit space is essential to
help maintain a good work environment. Natural light makes people happier: so,
when you come to design your office, make the most of the sunlight with
windows, skylights and glass walls. You will even save on your electric bill!
2) Office furniture
Choose appropriate furniture for
your business. There are lots of possible solutions around, so before you
contact your interior designer, think about the best way to organised spaces in
your office in order to ease the workflow, and consider a possible expansion.
3) Safety
Most employees spend more than 8
hours a day sitting in front of a computer and this can cause various health
problems, in particular back pain. It’s important to choose furniture
specifically designed for offices, which takes into account ergonomics,
4) Color
Neutral colors are the most
popular in offices, but they are not the only choice. Light blue can help
concentration, and if you are always in contact with your customers, interior
designers also recommend a touch of extra color for your office design. A dash
of red or orange gives energy.
5) Meeting room
In addition to offices, you'll
need a place in your business dedicated to meetings. The exchange of ideas
fosters creativity and ensures the success of your projects. The interior
design of this conference room needs to be accurate and smart and it also needs
the right furniture.
6) Recreational space
Create some space where employees
can relax for a few minutes on their coffee break. In this case, your interior
design should recreate a natural environment; add a little green with some
plants or flowers.
7) Branding
Your office should talk about
you. Even your interior design is a very effective way to communicate your
values to employees, customers and visitors. Don’t forget to brand it!
