Great offices are much more than  high-quality desks  and chairs encapsulated by four walls. When done right, they are spaces that draw people in and make them want to work for you.

If you’re looking to revamp your current space, here are some tips on  designing an office  employees will want to work in and look forward to using each day, from the team at BE Furniture. Create the right atmosphere Great atmosphere is one of those things that can be difficult to define – but you certainly know when a space has it!

And in a lawyer’s office, you’ll feel a sense of r...

  In some offices, the clutter has been there for so long that no-one even sees it anymore, but that doesn’t mean it’s not affecting the workplace. There are many reasons for this, but in our experience, it almost always comes back to an office concept that just doesn’t fit the culture and operations of the company. Maybe you’ve grown in both business and personnel. Maybe a cubicle farm isn’t the right solution for the younger generation workers. That’s where we come in! Here’s how to solve your messy office. Your workplace doesn’t fit your purpose A lot has changed over the last year or two, and with the Great Resignation and the changing values of younger generations, it’s no surprise that your office just isn’t working for you anymore.

  Most often office design is focused on aesthetics, with more technical aspects like acoustics taking lower priority – or being forgotten completely.

Here are the benefits of managing noise levels and how to consider acoustics when designing your office space. The benefits of noise management in office spaces Noise is a natural part of office life, but it can become disruptive, frustrating, and distracting.

Today, more people are rejecting excessive consumerism to focus on purposeful, meaningful spending that supports a more sustainable and practical way of life. And this has extended into office design and office furniture. Space-saving and functional, multi-purpose office furniture creates workspaces that do more with less. Here are just some of the most important benefits. #1 – Space-Saving Multi-purpose office furniture means you can put even more function into a small space without making the space cramped. This is a great option you have a small space that needs to have multiple functions. For example, storage that doubles as seating, whiteboard privacy partitions that are easily rearranged, desks that have adjustable height for staff who prefer to stand to work. Tables or desks that have built in extensions, so they can easily be adjusted from a small desk to a large desk that can accommodate multiple people. #2 – Saves money With hybrid and flexible working, many organizat...

  Everything has an expiry date – including the design of your office space. What worked well 5 or 10 years ago likely isn’t suitable for your organization’s current needs. From culture changes to operational and staffing changes, the transformations your organization has gone through should be reflected and supported by your office space. Here are some of the most common signs that your office design needs an upgrade. How to know it’s time to redo your office space #1 – Mismatch between office design and brand image You’re a funky, forward-thinking marketing agency that strives to help clients not to follow trends but to set them – yet your offices are bland, functional, and dated. Your space needs to support your organization’s brand and values, showing clients and employees who you are and what you stand for, engaging them with your purpose from the moment they walk in the door. #2 – It’s causing frustration for employees A well-designed office space gives employees ev...

Art is often the last thing organizations consider when designing a new office, but just because it’s a finishing touch doesn’t mean it’s not important! Color, texture, and art can be just as impactful on employee productivity and wellness as ergonomic chairs,  natural lighting , and great tech – when it’s done right. Here’s why it is important to have art in the office and some different types of art for the office to inspire you. No more monotony We’ve all worked in offices that feel so generic and dull that we can feel the enthusiasm and energy drain out of us as we walk in the door. And we’re not alone – studies have shown that to inspire your employees, the environment must be inspiring too. Well-decorated, colorful, artistic offices are filled with people who are more motivated, healthier, and happier – exactly the kind of attitude that results in more productivity, better problem-solving, and higher levels of engagement.
