Left alone, your office furniture can do nothing to help facilitate a positive, energizing space. On the other hand, if you learn how to take advantage of various desks and chairs, you can transform the environment you are in.
1. Tell a Story
When clients enter your office, what do you want them to see? Instead of a general office setting try creating a space that tells a story. Tell your company mission with office furniture and accents. If you want to tell a story about entrepreneurship, use co-working spaces and writable glass surfaces that encourage thinking out of the box. The way you use office furniture to tell a story will deliver a message right when someone walks in the door.
2. Accentuate with Nature
Including greenery in your office makes for a welcoming environment. Going beyond live plants, you can incorporate natural elements with office furniture. Try wooden desks and chairs or stone tiling. If your office includes outdoor space, encourage employees to hold meetings outside or take their lunch out in the open.
3. Use Communal Settings
An office that encourages collaboration is more likely to experience better communication. Desks that can be pushed together or separated are ideal to facilitate different working spaces depending on the need. Your office can create a code of conduct for open workspaces so that everyone feels comfortable. For example, someone wearing headphones means they are concentrating and should be left alone.
Office furniture can say something to the people who enter your door. Paired with accentuating fauna and open space, your office will set you up for success. To learn more about harnessing the power of office furniture call us today!
