Whether you opt for a wave desk to suit the office space or a traditional desk for those that are restricted on space, you can find what you need either online or in-store.

Office design is important, particularly when you are restricted on space, but did you know the color theme and the window dressings can also contribute to the lack of space? In this article, we will be looking into 6 ways that space can impact the interior design plan for your office space, whether old or new.

Size Of Furniture

One of the ways that size can impact the interior design of your office is through the size of the furniture. If you are restricted on space this, therefore, means that the size of the furniture will have to be smaller in order to accommodate.

Whether this is much smaller desks or chairs that are smaller, this will help to maintain an adequate level of space whilst having the furniture that you need.

Overall Color Theme

Another way that space can impact office design is through the color theme that you opt for. In order to make the room feel more welcoming and appear bigger than it is a neutral color is needed.

This will reflect the natural light that is present around the room helping to make it appear much larger than it may first appear. Additionally, lighter desks and chairs will also help to add light to the room and create the illusion of space.

Whether you opt for a wave desk to suit the office space or a traditional desk for those that are restricted on space, you can find what you need either online or in-store.

Layout of the Office

Size is also a huge contributor to the overall layout of your office space as you are restricted on the way that the office space can look.

Whether you are restricted to a specific number of desks or you have to negotiate an oddly shaped office space, this can all be affected by the space and therefore a creative solution will need to be found in order to optimize the space and make the office space the best that it can be for increased productivity and a welcoming atmosphere. 

Natural Light

If you have a smaller office space, the best option that you can opt for is natural light. Keeping the windows as open as possible will help to let in natural light and make space look much bigger.

If you are looking to dress the window without taking up too much space, then a simple blind to block out some of the light will keep the space in the room but will allow you to block out the light that you need without causing glare on screens.

Communication

If your office is quite a large office, space can affect communication between colleagues. If this is the case an email system or phone system should be put in place to ensure that communication is not affected as a result.

Alternatively, creating a grouping system ensures that all those that work together can communicate effectively without having to walk around the office too much.

This is also beneficial for meetings and other projects, as this means everyone is on the same page at every point in the process. 

Overall Movement

Office space can also affect the amount of movement that you have. If the office has become cluttered, then there is less movement, and this could cause health and safety risks for those in the office.

Therefore, it is important to ensure you have space-saving solutions in place to tackle this and optimize the space for the workforce.

Whether you are moving office, spending the money on a redesign, or looking to revamp a reception space there are a number of ways that new furniture can benefit you. Where will you begin with your design process?
