3 Must-Haves For Foolproof Office

What makes a good office? Other than great colleagues and a supportive boss, the environment and amenities available also play a part in promoting productivity. However, most modern offices are strapped for space and an ever-increasing staff numbers. Many design concepts and ideas for office spaces have had to adapt to these new demands by narrowing down the necessities to three main office spaces. Read on to find out the three must-have spaces and some office improvement ideas on how to create a productive workspace for your employees.

Lounge/Reception Area

The lounge area is the first thing that both guests and employees see upon arrival at the office, therefore it makes sense to fully kit out the space with the most comfortable and aesthetically-pleasing furniture. However, you should also consider the space constraints, particularly when arranging the layout of the room. Modular sofas can help alleviate space issues while giving you the luxury of switching up your design concepts and ideas by rearranging them if you so choose. Plus, they come in a variety of fun colours that will surely create cheery ‘good morning’ whenever your staff walk in through the doors!

Break Room/Playroom/Common Area

Whether you call it a break room or playroom, a space for your employees to just kick back and destress is definitely on the must-have list. Just like the adage “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, your staff could stand to benefit from a fun and relaxing break room. Improve your employees’ work environment by filling your office’s recreational area with some greenery and cosy nooks to take a nap or catch up with colleagues and your staff will thank you. High back sofas are ideal for individuals who enjoy their privacy. It may even help block out some of the noise from other people sharing the space as these types of sofas help create individual pockets of space, perfect for napping or casual conversations.

Work Space

A comfortable yet professional workspace is essential for office productivity. Seating, in particular, is a key element, considering that most employees spend a majority of their working hours in their seats. Ergonomic chairs like the Boffo Stool has been making the rounds on social media and for good reason. These sit-standing stools and chairs offer employees the chance to get their blood going without ever leaving their stations. Not only that, these seats can help to improve sitting posture, thus ensuring your staff will never suffer from back problems. However, standing chairs also require adjustable workstations such as the Tito range to prevent slouching and further damaging your posture.

Not keen on dropping a fortune to change your conventional office chairs and tables into ergonomic desks and chairs? No worries, Comfort Furniture still has plenty of comfortable office chair and desk options for you to browse through. If you’re looking for a space-saving option that also offers your employees the choice for some privacy, the Intel Workstation would be a great fit as it comes with removable privacy screens and a pedestal cabinet.
