Hello!

With many of us spending the vast majority of our time at work, it’s important that your office space is inviting, accommodating and practical. In fact, the average employee has been known to spend more time in the office than they do at home!

Of course, it’s super important that your office is a space that you actually enjoy spending time in. After all, a happy workspace instantly increases productivity, mainly because your surroundings can have a huge impact on your mood and general happiness.

And it’s not just the functionality of your office space that you will need to consider, it’s equally as important that it is stylish, interesting and comfortable. Many people also like their office space to reflect their brand identity too, so this can mean carefully selecting the right colour ways, furniture, and materials to create a space that captures your brand’s personality.

If you’re thinking about updating your office space – you might want to tune in. We’ve created a helpful guide outlining the things you should think about before updating your office…

Pick a colour scheme that will uplift your employees

In the world of interior design, it’s a well known fact that colour choices can have a direct impact on your mood.

For example, colour can instantly change the energy of a space, and can be the difference between your employees feeling energised and ready to work and them feeling demotivated.

This is because colours such as red and orange are known to inspire creativity whereas serenity blues and greens are known to create calming and relaxing working environments. We would always say to steer clear of darker, imposing colours as these can leave a room feeling and looking dark and uninspiring!

The comfort of your office space

It is possible for both style and function to work together with effortless ease. So with this in mind, there really is no excuse when it comes to integrating comfortable workspace furniture into your office that is striking and stylish.

After all, whether you are sitting or standing all day, the desks and chairs you choose for your office space will have a massive impact on productivity! This is because when you are sitting down all day at a desk, it’s important that you are comfortable and relaxed!

There’s lots of durable, versatile and functional office furniture available that has been designed to complement and enhance a vast range of spaces! Just remember, be careful when you are picking the colour and size of your furniture. This is because if you are working with a smaller space, you should always opt for smaller pieces of furniture that don’t impose on the rest of the room.

Choosing your lighting

Lighting can have a huge impact of the ambience, look and feel of a space! And it’s not only a great way to inject practical focal points into a room, it can also add personality and style to a space.

Of course, poor lighting can result in blurred vision, eye strain and headaches, which can all be avoided providing you invest in the right lights.

We’d always advise to opt for spectrum lighting as this emits a more balanced flow of light that replicates natural sunlight. And thanks to advances in technology, you’ll be amazed at the amount of innovative lighting solutions that are available.

Above all, good lighting is an integral component when it comes to optimising productivity, comfort and the general well being of your employees. So, it’s important that you get it right.
