Did you know that your office interior is crucially important to the success of your company? Whilst a good design might cost you a little more initially, it is actually much cheaper than a poor one in the long run. You will make a much better first impression and encourage employee productivity. In this article, we have covered 5 tips that interiors experts agree are crucial for your office.

1. There is no such thing as too much light or space
A lack of natural light can have negative impacts on the productivity and mood of your employees, so it should be a primary concern for your interior. It is also important to ensure that employees have enough space, from a large enough desk to plenty of circulation room around furniture. It is important to strike the perfect balance of both.

2. Consider creating some breakout spaces
These days, breakout spaces aren’t just places for your employees to eat lunch – they can provide some much needed time away from the desk. It could be used as a casual meeting space for employees to discuss new ideas or as a place to relax and take a breather. These spaces should be comfortable and equipped with power points.

3. Keep the space as tidy as possible
This is especially important if you have a small office interior, as you need to make sure that everything works together. Some workplaces ban eating at desks so that rubbish and crumbs are disposed of properly, others ban bins at desks to avoid an inevitable pile up. It is of the utmost importance, however, that you address storage.

4. Invest in high quality and attractive furniture
Whilst cash-strapped companies might be tempted to save some money by purchasing budget furniture, you actually won’t be saving anything down the track. A cheap chair, for example, can cause serious back and neck problems, whereas an ergonomic chair will promote natural posture and help to relieve existing ailments.

5.Consider branding your workplace
Branding your office is just as important as branding your stationary your brand should be infused into the space, be all around the employees and speak to visitors. Some great ways to achieve this are incorporating your logo on a feature wall, hanging some related artwork on the walls, and other quirky ideas (such as bubbles on the floor).

 If you need some help improving the productivity of your employees or giving a better first impression, experts would recommend that you start with your office interior. Remember that this is where your employees spend a large percentage of their time and where visitors will form immediate impressions of your company. And don’t be afraid to seek assistance if you require it.
