Small Breakroom? Here are Our Design Tips!



The breakroom is an important part of any office design – a space where employees can relax, have lunch or chat during the workday. For many offices, finding enough space for a functional breakroom can be a challenge, but even a small breakroom can be a fantastic space! Here are some tips from our contemporary office furniture team.

  • Finding the right tables and chairs:Small chairs and tables are absolutely the way to go in a small breakroom, as large furniture will just make the space feel cramped. Round freestanding tables usually make the best fit, as you can fit more people around them and offer more eating space than other shape tables. If you encourage your employees to be flexible with their lunch hour, then you won’t need a chair and eating space for each person. Another good idea is to have a narrow bench built along a wall or corner to offer flexible seating that’s out of the flow of traffic.
  • How to decorate a small breakroom:Light, neutral colors will make the space feel bigger and brighter, but don’t be afraid to add color. Bright chairs or wall art, a plant in a pretty container, or a bold accent wall will draw the eye and add vibrancy. Remember to stay minimalist in this space – too many décor items will make it look cramped.
  • The best approach to window treatments:If you have a window, try to maximize the amount of light you get from it, so avoid bulky window treatments like curtains or chunky blind. A slim blind is fine, but it can look great left bare. You can always liven it up with a plant or pretty vase.
  • Add some luxury touches: Just because you have a small space doesn’t mean it can’t be a great space to use – and luxury extras will make all the difference! A top-of-the-range coffee machine, elegant mugs and espresso cups, fresh snacks and other touches of luxury will make your breakroom more like an exclusive café and less like a cafeteria.

Of course, there are enhanced safety considerations, but the reality is that the pandemic has created a design aesthetic – and opportunity – that doesn’t show any signs of going away soon.  Health and Wellness Tech Re-opening in a post-COVID world means making health and wellness a focus of office design rather than a productivity-enhancing perk, and the tech industry has really risen to the occasion. From touchless control systems and sensors to air purification systems, contactless access control and germ-killing UV lights, these systems work behind-the-scenes to support the health requirements of a post-COVID workplace. And these enhancements are not just a temporary investment due to the pandemic – they’re
