Tips for Maximizing Your Workspace!

Tips for Maximising Your Workspace!

In a small office, every inch matters when it comes to interior design. By incorporating smart furniture and using vertical storage, even the most compact room can become a productive workspace. Maximize your floor space with space-saving, multifunctional office furniture. There are solutions to ensure you make the most of every corner.

Small desks for compact working

When desks are placed closely together, table screens provide a sense of privacy and help minimise distractions from the surroundings. Opting for sound-absorbing screens can further reduce noise levels, enhancing focus. Additionally, these table screens serve dual purposes and can be utilised as notice boards.

Small triangular corner desks can make the most of unused spaces while conserving room. Incorporating a height-adjustable small desk promotes ergonomics, ensuring a comfortable workspace. Grouping four corner desks together with screens in between creates an ideal collaborative work environment, particularly suited for smaller office settings

How to optimise your desk storage

Work meetings in a small office

Conducting work meetings in a small office can pose unique challenges. When accommodating customers or colleagues, a larger desk with a curved tabletop offers a space-efficient solution. This setup provides ample workspace at one end while allowing room for visitors at the other.

Opting for a standing table over a traditional conference table conserves valuable space, making it ideal for shorter meetings. Embrace a dynamic meeting environment by standing or complement the setup with high stools that can be neatly tucked under the table when not in use.

Space saving storage

When selecting storage solutions for your office, opt for cabinets with sliding or shutter doors. These choices maximize both floor and wall space, creating a perception of a larger room compared to cabinets with doors that swing outwards. Say goodbye to cramped storage issues, as sliding or shutter doors ensure easy accessibility and contribute to a neat and tidy office environment.

For frequently used items, consider using a mobile desk pedestal. These can be conveniently tucked away under tabletops when not in use and easily moved to other areas as needed. Additionally, using a CPU holder for your computer under your desk helps keep it off the desk surface and up from the floor, maximizing space.

Make room for storage on the walls

When floor space is limited, think vertically! By utilising your walls for storage, you can maximize space even in the smallest areas. Wall-mounted shelf systems with rails offer flexibility and adaptability to suit your needs, whether you opt for a few shelves or cover an entire wall.

In small premises, wall-hung shelves and cabinets are invaluable. Identify unused spaces and consider mounting shelves above desks or doors for additional storage.

For organising incoming post or documents, consider a wall-mounted brochure stand. These take up far less space than traditional mail sorting cabinets while providing functional shelving.

When it comes to storing outerwear and bags, wall-hung hall storage is your best bet. Mounting a coat rack under a hat shelf with hooks offers ample storage in a compact space.

Folding furniture saves space

With a few folding chairs and a folding table, you can quickly create extra seating when needed, and the furniture takes up minimal space when folded. Are you missing a separate storage space for the folding chairs? Hang them on a hook on the wall!

With a multifunctional flipchart stand that can be folded into a table, you always have an extra surface to pull out when needed. The stand not only functions as a flipchart holder and extra table, but can also be used as a whiteboard or magnetic notice board.
