The Dos and Don’ts of Small Office Interior Design
A small office has plenty of advantages but it also has its own disadvantages. Knowing how to use these disadvantages to your advantage is what matters the most. We are here to help you with navigating the dos and don’ts of a small office interior design.
The important thing to remember while designing any size of an office space is that the priority should be to increase the overall creative and productive workflow of the office. Hence, always preplan a design on paper. An idea in your head will not always fall in place. Write down your ideas before you go ahead and execute them. Now let us move on to the dos and don’ts.
Do's
Experiment
Even if you think an idea is bad, pitch it to your designer or architect. They can improve and work on it. Brainstorming and being creative is how you will achieve an office space that you will be satisfied with.
Research
Know the strengths and weaknesses of your office space. If there is an enclosed space in your office, there can be ventilation problems. Plan your ventilation systems according to the hot spots. Take advice from professionals regarding electric decisions.
Accessorise
Use your creative thoughts to increase the aesthetic of the office. You have an advantage of a small space, use up the walls that will be in plain view and get creative. A grass wall, picture frames, modern art, interactive art, a book shelf; the possibilities are endless and up to you.
Lights
Try to optimise the maximum amount of natural light in your office. Because your office space is small, one open plan window, or a sky light can light up your entire office. Avoid artificial and warm lights.
Dont's
Clutter
One disadvantage of a small office space is that it can start collecting clutter. If not planned and organised beforehand, the office can quickly become way too full way too fast. So keep track of what all you are adding to the space and get rid of things that are making movement difficult.
Overstimulate
Getting creative with your office space can be great, but since you have a smaller office, getting too creative with the space can get distracting, the workflow will decrease. Too much accessorising can become overwhelming and can cause unwanted distractions. Every minute lost of productivity can affect the company.
Ignore Break Areas
The reason why AI has not yet taken over is because human labour is much more valuable. It cannot be done if the human brain is not given rest. Break rooms or resting areas are an important aspect of an office. Because your office is small, ignoring break areas can become easy. But plan a break area beforehand, even if it is a small table dedicated to rest, it is enough.
Sensory Deprivation
Desk types like cubicles and linear setups are constrictive and not good for the brain. It is a misconception that deprecating senses like using blinders on the desks increases productivity. The human brain needs to be stimulated. Coworking is known as the future of workspaces. It not only increases productivity but also creativity through team building and brainstorming.
All in all, a small office space can be extremely advantageous if you plan it right without haste. Having a pre planned organised design that you can follow step by step without any compromises. Invest in good ideas and don’t doubt your creativity. Only the person designing the office will know what is good for the office space, so make a game plan of how you want your office to run. Following this plan with efficiency and effort will give you the optimal office space.
