Space crunch is one of the biggest problem everywhere and so, to make better use of the space, modern office furniture is the one stop solution. People can easily set up such furniture for their offices. It is not the boring single colored pieces a person is thinking off or rather anyone of us are talking about.

Today, modern office furniture creators are all about chick, fashionable and stylish with multi-colored hues, that make the office fun. It is all about decorating or customizing the office the way a person wants.  There is so much to choose from like the latest office cubicles, office partitions, workstations, panel systems, modular walls, to name a few.

Corporate Office Interior Design

Apart from all the pieces of modern office furniture, conference tables play a significant role as its showcases the image of the organization. There are a couple of pointers that have to be taken into consideration before choosing a specific kind of furniture.

Size and Space

Look for space where the conference table can be kept. Find a table that fits in properly in the conference room without showcasing a cluttered picture and with enough room for people to move around comfortably. Guest chairs are needed apart from the chairs with tables. Make sure the table is not too big that it can’t accommodate extra chairs or block people’s movement. Consider the width of the chair, the space between each chair and the portion under table of a chair once it is occupied.

 Style

The style of the conference table presents an image of the company. The material of the surface includes metal. It can be laminated to solid wood or glass.  Look for one that it is well within your budget without hampering the quality.

 Seating Arrangement

Look for comfortable designed chairs. You can select from executive or guest style.

Director Desk

The director desk is one of the most essential piece of office furniture. You can select from a range of materials like wood, metal or glass top, or any other material that will complement the other accessories of the office along with the proper coordination.  It can either be used a desk at the reception area or have the computers put on it as per the need.  With superior finish and chic style, you can choose from the latest designs, patterns and optimum utility.

An individual’s creative and ethnic choices can change the look of an office and can make it an attractive and fun place for the staff. As a last resort, a person can ask an interior designer for help.

Modern office furniture can change the look of the office, but remember to buy such pieces that will give a person enough space to move around easily. The office shouldn’t look messy or untidy. Office presentation is everything and so, it is highly important to make it look presentable.

The modern office furniture is constantly changing and shifting to enable better workflows. It acts as the face of a business and sets the tone for both employees and customers. It is important that we take enough time to plan the layout and how it integrates with our goals, the experience we offer and the core values of our brand.

Create An Open Office Environment

In recent years, we have come to realize how effective open office designs can be. But it is equally important to find the right balance of privacy and exposure while implementing an open office design. While some tasks require brainstorming and intense collaboration, some are done best on your own. Good office design should implement availability of spaces that enable interaction as well as spaces that maintain privacy and closure.

Promote Interaction and Collaboration In Open Spaces

You want to make it easier for employees to communicate ideas and strategies effectively. Emails and PMs, however effortless, do not always convey conviction properly. Face-to-face interaction is an imperative for getting quality work done. Use furniture to ensure a seamless flow of interaction between employees.

Use Color and Graphic Design To Invoke Pleasant Experiences

Color has always been associated with productivity. How well an office is decorated can have a huge impact on staff engagement and experience. Good design informs, engages and uplifts an employee. Pleasant experiences add up to employee satisfaction and high productivity.

Grow Office Plants

A simple and cost-effective way to improve office aesthetics is to grow office plants. Plants are known to relax people, reduce stress, increase happiness, promote mindfulness and improve air quality. Keeping in touch with nature is one of man’s most innate desires. You’ll be surprised how effective bringing in the outside world can be for office productivity and employee happiness.

Design That Lets People Thrive

At the end of the day, the design is but a means to enable people. A design that restricts actions or ideas in any way has no place in today’s competitive world. Balancing openness with areas of ample privacy should ensure that people have all options available to them, tasking effectively in suitable sub-environments.

We are children of evolution and with our ever-changing technology, the way we work must keep changing as well. Modern workplaces need to incorporate seamless change – the ability to evolve with our workstyles and integrate our priorities.

Adaptable workplace environments open up more possibilities for innovative working styles, efficient tasks and wellness. The well-being of employees is now central to office design, with more and more designers and architects embracing the concept.

Brigitte Preston writes for Work Design Magazine to shed light on the essential office design trends you can expect to see in 2017.

Authenticity-centered design

First and foremost, I see a surge in demand for authentic design solutions that signal an organization’s commitment to its core values. As interior architects, our job is to create a physical environment that tells the story of an organization in a way that resonates with not only its leadership and employees, but also their clients. So how do we accomplish this? There’s no standard solution, but listening to your client is key and knowledge is definitely the most powerful tool. We must not only gain a clear understanding of the organization’s history, mission, and objectives, but also figure out what’s most important to the client. While this takes time and requires the client to dig deep, it guides us toward authentic solutions that best exemplify the heart of their organization.

Authenticity-centered design may take root through a design vocabulary, expressive and creative visual branding, or specific materials, to name a few. Here are two companies that have used authentic design as a tool for a successful work environment:

Bazaarvoice

When Bazaarvoice called on us to design their new Austin headquarters, we used branded color and faceted architectural features combined with a bold planning concept to create a vibrant space that embodied the company’s energy and culture. We selected unique patterned carpet, wallcoverings, and light fixtures representative of each department and the cafe for each of the 14 collaboration areas. The cafe and breakroom reveal faceted pods in Bazaarvoice brand colors — grass, navy, sky, and teal. Through thoughtful planning, lauckgroup was able to create a workspace that embodied Bazaarvoice’s brand and mission — leading to heightened employee engagement, client retention, and innovation.

WiNGS

To empower disadvantaged women in Dallas, where we have the third highest poverty rate overall among major U.S. cities, WiNGS (Women in Need of Generous Support) offers financial, educational, and entrepreneurial guidance. When space constraints began to inhibit the nonprofit from fulfilling its mission, WiNGS declared its plans to move, and lauckgroup offered at cost materials sourcing and pro bono programming and design services. For us, creating a space that felt familiar and comfortable was a key deliverable, as the staff wanted clients to feel safe and heard. Placing a fireplace in the resource center, creating coaching rooms that evoked the feeling of a sitting room, and designing a treehouse-inspired childcare area all accomplished this. Our thoughtful approach resulted in a space that reflected the nonprofit’s mission to help women realize their limitless potential.

Appealing to millennials

As we enter 2017, millennials will continue to influence the direction of office design. First of all, this generation wants a career that offers a sense of purpose and contributes to the greater good. Given this reality, workplace designers should consider how the workspace can embody these goals and how they can visually be represented in the space. And similarly to the importance of authenticity-centered design, a company’s commitment to their community and their contributions to society can be incorporated into branding.

“This generation wants a career that offers a sense of purpose and contributes to the greater good. Given this reality, workplace designers should consider how the workspace can embody these goals and how they can visually be represented in the space.

“Many of our clients are focused on millennial-friendly design, such as Atlassian, who challenged our design team to create a raw and loft-like feel in the first generation building. A monumental stair is set at the office’s center, serving as a hub of energy for the space. Beyond its functionality and defining architecture, it encourages clients and employees to socialize and congregate on a tiered platform auditorium with bar-height seating. Ancillary spaces, including two large break rooms overlooking Lady Bird Lake, an upscale hospitality bar that serves beer and coffee, a game room, numerous open lounge areas, bicycle storage, showers, and quiet zones are scattered throughout the floor plan. The diverse settings for collaboration and privacy, coupled with mobile sit-stand desks and ceiling-mounted power sources distributed throughout, empower workers with autonomy and flexibility.

Wellness of tomorrow

Another important trend that continues to make waves in the A&D world: wellness. Certifications like LEED and the WELL Building Standard are not enough — designers must be deliberate in making astute observations about the space and how to best build a healthy, people-centric office. With studies that prove the psychological and physical benefits of exposure to nature, finding ways to connect to the outdoors is key.

Not enough time is spent cleaning up the clutter that is your workspace. You never seem to find that one document that you urgently need or the keys to the file cabinet or your phone charger. And yet, it’s taking up huge chunks of your day!

If you’re spending a good part of your day trying to cruise through the chaos of your workplace, it’s going to show sooner or later and you’re likely to land into trouble. Our advice is to get working on cleaning it up once and for all – well, as long as you understand it’s going to need some keeping up.

Start afresh

Get rid of anything you no longer require. Things that you used to need or might require in the future should be filed separately and stored away. To effectively organize or reorganize your stuff, you need to get rid of everything that is not currently necessary.

Rearrange

Now that you’re rid of all that is unnecessary, it’s time to find solutions for the rest of the problems. Maybe you’ve become complacent with how things are because it’s been going on for too long. A quick and easy way to get your organizational instincts kick in is to rearrange everything to make it easier and quicker to access.

Learn to manage time

Disorganization could just be a symptom of a more common affliction – time mismanagement. One of the simplest and most effective ways to overcome this is to jot down everything you need to accomplish in a day – a to-do list – and assign each task the time it requires while making sure that you do not exceed it. Adhere to this pattern till you break the habit of miscalculating your priorities at work.

Organize digitally

The condition of your digital desktop, email and social media is a reflection of your organizational skills, or lack thereof. Remedying only one could become a hurdle in the rehabilitation of your habits. If you want to keep up the organization of your workspace, let the organization spread to other parts of your life that ask for it. Organize your digital desktop by getting rid of all that is unnecessary, much like you did with your physical desktop.

Get the right accessories

A big part of how you organize is what tools you use on a daily basis. A wrong filing system could breakdown your whole work ethic. Get the right filing cabinet, the right size desk (a height-adjustable or standing desk, if that suits you), an ergonomic chair and see the difference yourself. It’s alright to ask for things you need. Letting their absence hinder your work is not.
