CREATING OFFICE IMPACT

3 Office Design Tips to Create Interesting Office Spaces

DESIGN TIPS FOR YOUR OFFICE SPACE

HOW TO CREATE FUNCTIONAL WORKING ENVIRONMENTS

Creating intelligent office spaces that invite collaboration, energy and enthusiasm involves many facets. From colours to furniture, the vibe you create impacts the environment and the mood of a room- affecting employees, clients, and guests. With so much emphasis on personal performance, and the 8 hour demands on this space means that considerable attention should go towards creating a personal and welcoming office space.

 

Read on to discover our top 3 tips to adding impact and attention to your corporate areas!

INVEST IN ROOM SCENTERS

OFFICE DESIGN TIP #1

In Japan research showed that typists made 54% fewer mistakes when they smelled lemon.  Jasmine and lavender also had a similar positive effect.

However, oversmell can also lead to overkill!  Chemicals can have a harmful impact on employees with allergies.  Ensure that you buy green natural air fresheners or room scenters -there are many options available online.

REIMAGINE THE WHITEBOARD

OFFICE DESIGN TIP #2

How many times have you been in a meeting without enough space on the white board?  Many companies have created and designed glass wall boardrooms, using the walls as their whiteboard.  Charcoal and chalkboard walls are also quite popular. However, both of these methods have drawbacks- glass walls don’t guarantee privacy when writing information on the walls, and charcoals and chalkboard walls can lead to dust- and never look clean!

 

Our favourite latest trend is to clad the boardroom walls with high gloss HPL’s.  FunderMax provides similar laminates and you can wipe off the writing afterwards- white thin gloss laminates are the perfect solution!

BRING THE OUTDOORS IN

OFFICE DESIGN TIP #3

Beautiful offices often make use of open spaces that incorporate nature into their buildings. However, this method of office planning is not always feasible, and closed spaces are often a problem. The best way to involve greenery and natural elements into your spaces is to place indoor plants throughout the areas, or hang paintings and canvases of your outdoor environment- both of these applications have a calming effect on people.

 

Our top recommendation would be to create creative prints that explore nature. Our FunderMax designers can print landscapes, forests, and savannas onto high-pressure laminates. Cladding your walls with these designs will create immersive spaces that inspire!

Specify with Salvocorp

Although Salvocorp always carries core colour ranges, kindly remember to always confirm stock levels and the lead times with a Salvocorp representative.  It is also important to let representatives know when products are specified so that the councils can start to communicate with the fabricators and installers as soon as possible to ensure availability and to assist with any technical data and questions.
