1. Consider your needs
Start by considering your needs… What do you need in an office? Ask yourself a series of questions and write them down on paper.
Will you work alone in the office or will you share it with more colleagues?
Do you plan to have more employees in the future?
How long do you think you will work in this office?
What type of equipment do you need to do your job or run your business?
Answer these questions and it will make it easier for you to determine how much space you need. It will also help you think about the best way to organize everything to meet your needs and the needs of your employees.
2. Set your vision
Before starting with the design it is useful to have a vision of your office
Spend some time thinking about what you need and draw sketches of what you want the space to look like. This will make it easier for you to get the type of office you are looking for.
3. Let the light invade your entire space
Light is the key to decoration, if you want to gain meters and have a feeling of spaciousness, let access to natural light promote a more positive mood in the workplace, this will help you and your employees stay focused and motivated throughout the day.
So no curtains and give your windows as much prominence as possible!
It is always a good idea to put the table under the glass. We illuminate the center of the object and highlight the window for clarity. However, if you don’t have windows, make sure you put in plenty of light so that the light penetrates everything.
At Expofactory we have a lighting area, where we can advise you based on your needs, providing completely comprehensive and personalized assistance.
4. Choose the right furniture
When you’re trying to design a workspace, the right furniture can make all the difference.
At Expofactory we advise you to invest in our ergonomic, comfortable and high-quality furniture that promotes good posture to spend a whole day of work without any discomfort.
Ergonomics aims to adapt work to human capabilities, identifying and analyzing these occupational risks to reduce and thus eliminate them.
From our carpentry shop we make your priorities come true with the most suitable furniture and the most sophisticated structures for offices, offices, commercial and industrial establishments or the most solid wooden equipment for residential projects.
5. Noise control
Although we all have a different tolerance for noise, it turns out that noise can affect the attention of office workers.
The noise generated by conversation can reduce concentration by up to 20%. On the contrary, a quiet environment can help increase the ability to concentrate on tasks by up to 50%.
If you are one of those people who has difficulty concentrating, take measures to control the noise in your office.
At Expofactory we rely on a sound masking system, it is an excellent way to get rid of noise.
Masking systems work by distributing noise that drowns out speech.
6. Organization
That there is good organization, that everything is in its place and clean will help us gain space.
It will also make order much easier for us if we have drawers and low cabinets, shelves on the wall and everything that can help us gain space. Loose shelves on the wall can be a great option, but use boxes or containers to keep everything displayed in order.
At Expofactory with our productive carpentry team, we can give you the best solution based on your needs.
7. Take advantage of any space
Check any space in your office carefully, because no matter how small it may seem to you, there will always be a solution so you can gain another table, a shelf or a closet.
8. Decorate the spaces
What better way to motivate your team than to create a good work environment. To do this, we recommend labeling common spaces. You can do it in different ways, you can put a vinyl on a wall with a large photo, you can use cut vinyl to write motivating phrases on separating glass or on the same wall, you can use signage to be more creative or you can even place the vinyl on the floor. Don’t put limits on your imagination.
