Modernize your office space with interior design.

With designing or redesigning an office space there are a bunch of different routes you can take.

Firstly it’s important to think of the lighting in your office, does it have open windows or does it have less natural lighting? The lighting of your space will drive the rest of the design, mood, and even your productivity. If you have a more close-knit office setup with open windows dividing up your space with clear or frosted dividers helps telescope the light throughout the space effectively utilizing the natural light which helps the office feel more open and more comfortable for workers. Another thing to consider is, that natural light might need to be dampened for screen use to be effective in wide open spaces and offices, natural lighting is more comfortable and inviting for a work environment. You may want to consider drapery or curtains designed for the space to help it work best for you, this allows enough light to work but not so much that it affects your vision on screens or surfaces.

The next most important thing to consider is the office furniture and set up itself. Ergonomic furniture not only can add a modern flair but helps workers stay comfortable and not get hurt at work on those long days when you might be working on a project for longer periods. This furniture can include more playful design elements such as beanbag chairs or loungers for shorter projects, this allows the space to feel more comfortable and inviting for creative work environments. Having a more recreational space or lounge included can also keep workers more energized and alert throughout the day, which is perfect for all work types! This will help to break up the monotony of office work, which can keep productivity higher. Next to that, you should consider if you want a more open space for work with a less structured workable space, instead of rows of desks, having the space more broken up and open can help the space feel less cluttered and more inviting while giving work privacy to everyone, without having to worry about stifling dividers and partitions.

Finally, an important thing to consider with your spaces is color, you can add color to the space to brighten it up which can energize the work environment. You can do that by adding pops of color to the walls or decor or by adding a bit of greenery. You can do this by incorporating plants within the workspace itself or taking your workspace to a more open or outside element whether that be a working patio or balcony or whether that be large format open doors or windows.  Plants are a great way to do this because you can also add a bit of a routine breakup by watering plants or simply just admiring them. With the outdoor direction, you open up your space to fresh air and sunlight for your workers to feel more relaxed and peaceful in between their workday tasks.
