Make the cellular office a productive environment with the right furniture

The layout of the office has a significant impact on the work environment. Cellular offices are individual offices for one or two people. It’s the type of office that provides reduced noise and increased privacy, which allows for an environment where workers can concentrate on the task at hand. Take a look at our tips to help ensure that your office space is suitable for you.

Space-saving storage

Utilise space-saving furniture to avoid overcrowding the room. Tambour cabinets that have sliding doors are great for tight spaces. Building storage units vertically or wall mounting them is a great idea where floor space is a premium. Mobile pedestals that can slip underneath your desk are perfect for some additional handy storage.

Natural light

Position your desk so that you are facing a window or a door as this can improve the way you connect with the environment around you. Furthermore, it can reduce the feeling of isolation and confinement – not to mention the positive effect that natural light has on the human body.

Separating workspaces

Screen walls are great for separating areas, they also provide some added privacy in shared office cubicles whilst also absorbing sound for a better acoustic environment. Screens can also be used as notice boards for information that needs to be displayed for quick reference.

Meeting space

Create meeting places where employees can socialise in a natural and relaxed way. You may be surprised at what creative ideas and new perspectives can emerge from social spaces such as these. It could be a great idea to invest in a lounge area with comfortable sofas and armchairs where employees can socialise and relax. Perhaps positioning printers, coffee machines and paper recycling bins in these common areas would be a good idea for your workplace so as to encourage spontaneous meetings and pleasant encounters during the day.

Make your workplace more personal and pleasant with photographs, personal trinkets, artwork or plants. It makes the workplace more fun and interactive! Why not give it a go?!
