We just moved into a new office and the office furniture really makes a difference in how you feel about work. Our team did an excellent job picking furniture that make coming to work even more fun! Here are a few tips when picking out office furniture:
1. Keep crowding to a minimum. Make sure that there is enough room to open cabinets and drawers, and that people have enough room to comfortably move around
2. Choose the right furniture for the job. A café style chair might look great in a catalog, but might be a bit uncomfortable after sitting for 8 hours and running spreadsheets?
3. Make sure that your office furniture is ergonomic. Think about health and safety requirements to avoid work related ailments
4. Create a great flow using different colors
5. Keep in mind that fashion changes … if you choose something ultra trendy, it might be out of fashion in 5 years (did avocado green refrigerators ever make a comeback?)
6. Use a design agency like Office Furniture Express offers a range of office furniture to create a design that works for your company … ie a firm of accountants needs to be different look and feel than a marketing company or a call center.
7. Think about the future, will you be able to expand the office layout, using your new furniture? New employees, technology, or processes might call for a change sooner than you think. Will you be able to move desks yourselves, or do you need experts to take the desks apart so they can be rebuilt in a different part of the office?
These tips should help you to decide which office furniture is best for you and your team.
