Do You Want To Change Your Office Layout?

Perhaps your office feels clunky, perhaps you're struggling to keep your work organised, or perhaps you just want a change within your working environment. Whatever the reason, changing your office layout can be a fantastic way to improve your office!

Office Layout Tips!

There are numerous different choices with regards to your office's layout, but here are some helpful tips to help you make the decision that's right for your business!

Clear Away The Clutter
If you're struggling to work because of office clutter, it can be very beneficial to take some time to clear away the clutter in your office. This can also be a great time to discuss with your employees how the office layout could be improved. Perhaps staff need larger desk space, or dedicated areas to hold certain pieces of equipment.

Don't Forget About Downtime
When starting your plans for redesigning your office layout, it can be easy to forget about an area in which you employees can enjoy their breaks. Creating what many call a 'break-out room' or a 'break-out space' you can give your employees the opportunity to relax and socialise. This could also potentially increase employee morale!

Think About Flexibility
Perhaps one of the reasons you want to change your office layout is because your business has been growing. If your business is continuing to grow but you do not want to relocate or refurbish your office, changing the layout to be more flexible could be a great opportunity for your business. With a more flexible office you can adapt your workspace to suit the current needs of your business whilst also preparing for the needs of tomorrow.

Think About Light!
Light is very important in a working environment. Firstly, light is useful to help people see what they are doing. It is also important to include as much natural light as possible, large windows and mirrors can be very useful in maximising the amount of natural light that is in the building.

Consider The Colour Of The Office
You might think using plain colours such as white or beige create a professional looking atmosphere; however they are not the only colours you can choose to create a professional colour scheme for your office. For example, you could look to your website, your business cards or your company logo. The colours used there could be used in your office, creating a professional colour scheme that matches the branding of your business.

What About Office Furniture?
Whilst initially you might want to reorganise the furniture you currently have, sometimes you need to purchase new furniture. Perhaps the desks you currently have are too small for your employee's needs and they require larger desks. Or perhaps you need some new storage spaces or maybe even now kitchen units for your office's breakout area. If you need new office furniture in Reading give Active a call, our friendly and dedicated staff will be able to provide you with assistance and discuss office furniture in more detail.

Storage Thoughts
If you are trying to make space count with regards to storage in your office, don't just think horizontal, think vertical. By making use of vertical storage systems attached to the walls you could increase the amount of storage available in your office space opposed to horizontal storage systems alone.

Think About Plants
Office layouts aren't just about the office furniture in your workplace and how you position it, but also about the other items in your office. Artwork, colour schemes and of course, plants.

Plants can be a fantastic addition to your workplace. You could perhaps allow your staff to bring in their own plants or you could purchase a selection of vases and pots and choose plants with flowers in a colour that matches the branding of your business.

Comfort!
Don't forget to consider the comfort of your office. Make sure that there is enough room to work comfortably. Comfort isn't just about leg room, it is also important that you choose the correct office furniture for your workplace. Without quality furniture that supports your staff, they could feel uncomfortable. You want your staff to enjoy working in the office and work in comfort, so choose quality office furniture in reading from Active.

Furniture isn't the only thing that helps people stay comfortable at work. You can also put some thought into the office peripherals you use. You can incorporate wrist support into your office by choosing mouse mats with soft areas to support employee's wrists and support items to support worker's wrists whilst they type on their keyboards.

An additional point regarding keyboards, certain keyboards might be more comfortable than others. For example, some people find that when using certain types of mechanical keyboard they can type faster and feel less fatigue opposed to when they use a membrane keyboard.
