It’s Time to Keep Your Office Space Fresh; Time For a Makeover!

Many of you will agree with me when I say that the physical environment affects our mood. I mean try to spend a day in a messy looking house and in a beautiful looking landscape. You will get to know the difference. The same concept applies in our workspaces as well.

Chances are there that the design and feel may take a back seat when it comes to your priorities in the office. But have you wondered what impression or judgment would be made about your business as soon as a customer or new employee enters your space?

Living in the form of an excruciatingly busy schedule, we humans tend to spend more and more time in the office than almost anywhere else. In fact, I am sure you must be sitting right at your desk while reading the article. So, before you get back to work; here’s some inspiration lined up for you that emphasizes on how one should improve their workspace. However, some ideas will take quite long in terms of execution than you read- for example installing innovative looking framing systems while others like investing in air freshener won’t take long.

• Let there be some Light- According to several studies, it has been found that windows are the number one determining the factor of satisfaction in a space whether it’s for living or work. And it makes quite a lot of sense; I mean nobody would like being shacked up in a dim office with no windows. So, having windows that shed loads of natural light is the best way to brighten up space. Plus, it is a cost-effective means of doing so. In addition to this, you can always think of spending a little more and getting a better quality of light fittings. 
  
  
• Appropriate furnishings- Setting the right kind of workspace always requires the right kind of furnishings. Think of choosing something that has high functionality over ordinary designs such as adjustable desk, chairs. Besides, you can also consider using multipurpose furniture to save an adequate amount of space. Another new entrant in the furnishings is reconfigurable furniture that can be customized as per need. It provides both the required flexibility as well as privacy. 
  
  
• Accent- Do you what the difference between good and the best office spaces around the globe. The best ones aren’t just functional, clean but they capture something of the spirit of the company. Consider using the bare bones of your design and also splash out a couple of quirky touches. For example, creating a feature wall that comprises of the company’s logo or mixing some vintage touches a kitschy accessory, an antique, or something handmade is worth considering for an office makeover.
  
  
• Think different- Have you ever thought of creating a fake window between cubicles? All you can do is find a different bunch of posters of an outdoor scene that you think will inspire your employees. Hang it on the cubicles creating a "window." In addition to this, you can even think of aligning and hanging an empty frame over the picture. Apart from this, you can even consider improvising the door of all cubicles. This will give the best illusion for your employees of having their very own office by installing a makeshift door to space. A cardboard or hanging a curtain will definitely work wonders!
  
  
• Music- The best motivation your employees can get is through music. Of course, not constantly but it’s nice to have a few tunes blasting through the office. 
  
  
• Activity-based settings: Having a workplace that allows you to engage with numerous groups of people is simply great. Besides, it even gives you an opportunity to network and collaborate. Flexible workstations, new age cabins, activity-based settings are some of the best examples worth considering. Here you can even incorporate comfortable couches and beanbags, breakout zones, meeting lounges and pods. This will definitely enhance motivation and productivity levels of your employees. 
  
  
• Be a neat-nick- Last but certainly not the least, keep everything clean and organized. I am not talking that you should be like your mom but cleaning radically improves the look of your office. Incorporate no eating at desk policies and ban bins at desks to avoid the inevitable pile-up of rubbish.
