Office Interiors Don't Have To Be Dull

by Remy Keaney

Would you like your place of business to be a bit out of the ordinary? Would you like to project an image that is a cut above the competition? Do you crave to be seen as something new and exciting? These ideals can be reached with creative office interiors.

It must be admitted, this is sad but true, that some businesses just seem to want to boor us all silly with apathy and ennui. Of course, in this modern age of speed and excitement and change around every corner this can never be a sound decision. It seems that most boring places fell into that state by accident.

Fortunately, this is the type of accident that can be easily overcome with a bit a planning and an eye toward image. Most companies either already have an image to focus on, or are desperately seeking an effective image to focus on. Where your work gets done is an ideal place to begin honing this image conscious ideal. You can begin by, literally, thinking out side of the box, as in cutting down on cubicles. Open spaces foster open minds.

How about hosting arrangements? Where and on what are your colleagues and customers lounging? Are they comfortable enough to stay for that extra pitch or to work on a problem? Or does you furniture scream at their bodies to take flight? Creating relaxing and easy-going areas shows concern, and it removes that dental appointment feeling that so many dread. While you are at it, splash some color around a bit.

Now, if you are an edgy company and want to stir up some emotions, then go all the way. Use hard lights and vibrant colors to wake up the senses. If you want to look like you are on the go, put some racing stripes down the hallways. Do something extreme to pump up the volume in your place! Black and chrome always look speedy.

Lighting, as mentioned, is a powerful emotion building source. More importantly is the light that you will be working under. Poor lighting makes for poor output and will create poor employee attitudes. This is proven by science, as are the ways to eliminate these problems. The answer is in the sun. Use the actual sun, or recreate it with proper bulbs, but do this simple thing for the mental well being of your office denizens.

Along the same lines as proper lighting are the ways to use colors. These are also powerful and emotional tools that can be utilized in creating a viable workspace as well as an appropriate image. Some colors soothe while others sedate. Some cause you to cogitate while others cause you to agitate. Clearly color choice should be highly regarded, and a bit of research will do you a world of good.

In the end, think of rear ends. Quality seating should be extremely high on any office interiors to do list. Where you may spend eight or ten hours of your day is of vital concern. Quality workers deserve quality seating arrangements. Think of this aspect last, and your work force may regard you as first.
