Creating the Best Workstation
Like a desk chair, the perfect office desk should suit the needs of its user. For example, those who focus on spread-out work like art or fabric design would need a larger desk or a table, while smaller contemporary desks will be more suitable for those doing lots of computer work.
Our desks vary in size from small to large, and come in a variety of colors/finishes, including:
- Cherry
- White
- Oak
- Black
- Espresso
- Gray
A comprehensive mix of desks is available to meet your various work needs. These include:
- Writing desks
- Executive desks
- Computer desks
- Corner desks
- L-shaped desks
Or you might like to consider a standing desk. Standing desks have been growing in popularity over the years because of their potential health benefits. Helping reduce upper body tension especially in the neck and shoulders, increasing productivity, and lower blood sugars are just some possible advantages.
If you need extra adaptability to enable you to work more comfortably and reduce neck strain, try desk risers. Or if you’re going for a more contemporary, open look, why not opt for a glass desk?
Storage for Every Need
As with a computer chair and workstation, office storage should also fit peoples’ specific working requirements. A business dealing with lots of paper documents would be better-suited to storage units like a 5-drawer file cabinet, whereas other kinds of organizations might want more cubicle units. If you’re storing legal documents,,there are secure office storage cabinet solutions, too.
For businesses with more specialist needs beyond filing cabinets, you can get into office furniture like office storage cabinets or storage carts, which are perfect for storing tools and other items like cables in quick reach. You can mix things up with storage units that feature multipurpose compartments, giving you the option to mix and match your storage as needed.
If you’re looking to reduce clutter, but want easy access to your files, then consider bookcases or shelving as a storage solution. Pair bookcases with dividers and draws for a less cluttered look.
For everyday organizational needs, storage bins and baskets are a great option, or if you're working in a small space, stacking drawers may be the perfect fit.
Office Furniture for Communal Areas
All offices need chairs, workstations, and storage no matter what their configuration. But what about if you’re working in an open floor plan office? Then, you’ll want a design that helps to take advantage of the environment by creating a collaborative workspace.
Many large and small businesses are taking the collaborative working approach and with good reason. Collaboration increases productivity and creativity and gives your office additional flexibility. With our adaptable, multi-use range of furniture, you can create different work areas as your business grows or your day-to-day work needs change.
You can create a welcoming space for informal collaboration and discussion by using couches in a central area. Try to use a communal coffee table for a living room furniture layout that will soften even the most formal office environment and provide workers with the perfect space to relax and build strong team relationships. For an even trendier and more comfortable feel, consider a bean bag or two around the office.
Finally, choose a lighting style that complements the overall look and feel of any communal areas. Lighting can go a long way in creating a good atmosphere. For instance, if you want a more relaxed feel, you may want a muted style of lighting. Or if you want to create a feeling of space, then brighter light bulbs can help achieve this.
Some types of lighting are also better for employees when they are working. For example, fluorescent and LED lighting can be good choices.
