Office Acoustics
We made it – we got through 2020! While many of us are excited to get the New Year underway, it goes without saying that businesses are functioning in a vastly different style compared to this time last year.
For many, this has meant (and still means) working from home. With lockdown uncertainty still rife, it has been a logical step for some companies to downsize. Whether that is due to cutting staff numbers or separating teams, businesses can still strive to make the most of smaller office space!
At Workplace Interior Shop, our outfitting experts know how to make the most of any space! Here are a few tips and tricks to help get the best out of your business…
Keep it Light and Airy
Realistically, smaller spaces are harder to work with when it comes to achieving an open plan, fluid environment. While it is a nice idea to break down all partitions, most businesses still value separated areas for meeting rooms, focussed work or breakout space. To achieve this without creating a boxy feel, the right partitioning can transform your office!
Glass Partitioning.
Glass partitions are a fantastic way to maintain light flow between rooms and create the illusion of an open space. They offer exceptional performance qualities, such as acoustic insulation, and can be turned into opaque walls to maintain privacy with the simple installation of blinds.
Movable Walls.
If open plan is your priority, but you still want the option of private rooms, movable walls are your solution! Often hung on runners, they can be drawn out to create a solid wall, then stacked or folded away in seconds to open up the space again. With solid panel, glazed or vinyl options, they are perfect for a range of applications.
Desking Dilemmas
Large, corporate meeting rooms really do make an impression. However, that vast expanse of desk separating you and your colleagues isn’t the most practical solution for smaller offices! For both meeting rooms and individual desks, there are many ways to be space savvy while also being functional.
Individual Desks.
If individual desks are a priority, why not integrate storage too? By offering filing trays or under desk drawers, you can ensure your employees can keep organised while minimising the need for huge storage cabinets away from the desk.
Meeting Rooms.
Agile workspaces are more popular than ever. Why not break away from the classic boardroom and offer a variety of collaboration areas. From bench desking to soft seating, you can create multifunctional spaces which can be used for meetings, collaborative work, and even down time.
Indoors isn’t the Limit
Talking of multifunctional furniture, have you heard of Meeting Pods? At Workplace Interior Shop, we are excited to supply pods from The Meeting Pod Co. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, meeting pods are multifunctional structures which can support heating, air con, digital devices and weatherproofing!
Not only are these great for breakout areas, meetings, and individual study, they can provide a whole extra room for work when constructed outside. If you are looking to utilise every inch of your office space then this could be the solution for you.
