Looking for fun and creative ways to refresh your office, but lacking inspiration?We’ve got you covered – here are 10 terrific ways you can transform your office space.
1. Lighting
Good lighting is important for staying focused and productive, so make sure you allow plenty of natural light into your office space by opening blinds and windows and positioning furniture close to light sources. It’s also worth investing in a desk lamp for times when light is limited.
2. Brand colours
Incorporating your company colours into your colour scheme is a fantastic way to bring your brand to life. This doesn’t mean you have to paint every wall in this way – in fact, a single feature wall in your dominant brand colour works wonderfully.
3. Plants
A few potted plants can make subtle yet significant difference to your office environment. Research has found that plants in the office increase productivity, purify the air and reduce sickness and absence rates – find out more from Human Resources specialists CIPHR.
4. Art
A few art pieces hanging on the walls will make your office space look bright and creative. Don’t just restrict yourself to wall art either, because small artefacts such as sculptures and ornaments can further enhance the character of your office space.
5. Whiteboard
A whiteboard is a simple piece of furniture that blends in well and can be used by all. Whether you use it to write motivational messages, brainstorm ideas or keep track of deadlines, it’s a great addition to any office space.
6. Wall storage
If you’re running low on desk space, it’s time to start using your walls. Wall storage such as shelves and cupboards will help you maximise your floor space and keep your office looking clean and tidy. For inspiration, take a look at furniture store Wayfair.
7. Blinds
With a pair of stylish blinds fitted, your office will look fabulous inside and out and you’ll be able to better control light levels. A great place to look is furniture store Dunelm, which sells made to measure blinds.
8. Dividers
It’s all well and good cramming your office clutter into desk drawers and cupboards, but this doesn’t get rid of the mess, it just hides it. However, with some dividers in place you’ll be able to organise your bits and bobs in a neat and orderly fashion.
9. Furniture upgrade
Upgrading furniture items such as desks and chairs will immediately transform the look of your office. You should opt for ergonomic furniture because it’s specially designed to support your body and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal problems associated with sedentary work.
10. Doors
Whether you’re working from your home or separate premises, new doors can add a certain charm to your office and make it a more inviting space. For a range of high-quality models to suit every budget, check out door manufacturer Oakwood Doors.
