What does your office furniture say
What does your office furniture say about your Company
The type of office furniture you choose says a lot about your company’s culture and values. Your office is your home away from home. Potential clients will be able to assess your business just by walking in the door. Therefore, you want to make sure what they’re seeing accurately reflects your company’s culture. It’s the place where you fight for market share, pursue new business opportunities, and realize your dreams. Experts often tell people to dress for the job they want and not the job they have, this is also especially relevant to office furniture. Startup companies that bring in new furnishings, accessories and decorations make a name for themselves.
Those companies tell their clients that they have enough capital to purchase new things for the office. It’s also, for better or for worse, part of the public face of your company. As a result, the most productive offices typically balance the comforts of home with a professional business image. But does your office live up to this goal? Do employees spend a lot of time working at their desks or are they out and about for most of the workday? Your Space can be transformed into a place where clients will happily part with their money for your goods. Additionally also cause them to question your existence and expertise. Here are some things to keep in mind about your office furniture.
Colour
Bright colours indicate that this is a place where collaboration and creativity are king. As a result employees are encouraged to work together instead of alone at their desks all day. Low-wavelength colours, like restful green and calming blue -two of the most common colours in Mother Nature’s palette — improve efficiency and focus. They also lend an overall sense of well-being.
Controversially, Red, a high-wavelength colour, is active, intense and alarming at times. The passion-inspiring colour, not accidentally the hue of valentines, fire extinguishers and fire trucks, increases the heart rate and blood flow upon sight. That said, if there’s something in the office you want to urgently draw employees’ eyes to, it’s best to paint it red.
Meanwhile mellow yellow, often viewed by colour psychologists as the shade of optimism, is energetic and fresh. It is believed to trigger innovation and is best used in work environments where artists, writers, designers, developers and other creative professionals work.
Desks
Desks are a sign that employees are static most of the day and work alone. Which can be further indicated by the amount of storage available to them in their cubicles or in their offices (depending on the set-up of your actual space). Work stations instead of traditional desks indicate that employees are mobile and use their laptops when necessary by plugging in to any work station instead of staying at one desk.
Layout
So maybe you like the look of traditional desks even though your employees do collaborate together and aren’t necessarily chained to their computers from 8-5. The lay out of your office furniture will be the best indicator for how your office operates. This is where an expert eye can come in handy to give you the furniture style you want and still portray your company’s core values and culture.
