Here are a few points to consider when re-designing your office space:
Clutter
Previously, office environments would house large filing cabinets and bulky furniture making the workplace cluttered, claustrophobic and unconducive to productivity. This rubber stamp design trend changed when the opportunity to keep records on digital and remove the bulk from the interior. Having clear areas to allow free movement and easy access to different parts of the office allows employees to have a sense of clarity in the office.
Colour Scheme
Many studies have found colour can have a positive or negative subconscious effect on our stress levels, ability to concentrate, work ethic, and creativity. Selecting the correct colour scheme for your type of business can encourage your employees to work in a more comfortable environment as well as promote the company’s visual identity to clients and visitors.
Open Plan Spaces
There has been new research to suggest that the open plan working environment is not conducive to productivity as it creates a distracting workplace. Call centres are often noisy and don’t allow for proper conversation with a potential client. Designing an office with cubicles to give employees more privacy using partitioning or glass can maximise the productivity of your workforce.
Adding plants to the working environment can have a calming effect as well as natural textures and a range of health benefits.
