Posted March 26, 2017

Dull conference rooms seem to have an almost magical ability to drain employees of their energy. With so much time spent in meeting rooms, why wouldn’t you want to create meeting spaces that inspire? Infuse meeting rooms with a few bright, innovative elements to help kindle the creative spirit.

Alongside traditional office furniture, throw in a comfortable sofa, a few club chairs, or even some vintage side chairs for a unique seating arrangement. Choose wall art, accents and other decor that matches your company colors or office culture, and add a unique floor lamp to complement your main lighting source. To encourage collaboration, install a wall-mounted whiteboard, blackboard or even cork-board for employees to use freely during meetings.

Finally, ensure plenty of basic meeting supplies are available, including pens and paper, so workers can maximize their productivity. For everything you need to transform your conference rooms into creativity havens, browse the wide selection of innovative essentials hand-chosen by the team at Office Depot.


Dazzling Décor

Art and other wall decor can have a calming effect on employees. Hang wall art that isn’t too busy or distracting. If you aren’t sure about color schemes, try opting for yellow and blue tones that are soothing.

Lavish Lighting

For maximum efficiency of employees, a meeting room should be evenly lit. If you're going to be using videoconferencing equipment, choose a room with no windows or hang room-darkening blinds.

Practical Presenting

Place stands and presentation boards where they are visible to everyone in the room. Measure the length between the screen location and the furthest seat in the room, and divide by three; this should be the approximate height of any presentation screen.
