It’s safe to say we spend a lot of time in the office, be that at the workplace surrounded by colleagues, or in the home office. It is thought that the average person will spend around 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime, which means it’s important to have the best office furniture to make your day as pleasant as possible.
In this post, we’ll discuss what furniture can make an office a positive and productive place to be.
Ergonomic office seating
Most of us spend up to 40 hours a week in the office, with the majority of that spent sitting down. Therefore, comfort is paramount for it to be a good experience. Choose a well-designed ergonomic chair such as the Herman Miller Mirra 2 for the ultimate supportive seat. With everyone possessing different needs, these chairs can be custom-configured with features including state-of-the-art tilt mechanisms, lumbar support, and countless adjustable features.
Sturdy and spacious desks
The perfect chair needs a good desk to match. Not only do we stock desks of all shapes and sizes, but we also offer a range of designs to suit a wide variety of purposes.
Our office and work desks are ideal for lone workers requiring plenty of space, and our executive desks are perfect for adding an element of grandeur. Our reception desks provide the appropriate amount of privacy for your front-facing workers, while our call centre desks allow groups of three to eight employees to work strategically and effectively together.
Most of these are available with a range of desktop finishes, height adjustable legs as well as options of cable management and other accessories.
To provide an environment where you or your staff can be comfortable sitting or standing and to create a more accessible space, consider a sit stand desk. Sought after by professionals and popular amongst those who like to move during the day for their physical well-being, high-quality standing desks such as the Lavoro Advantage desk are the answer.
Accessible storage
Next up is organisation. As the famous saying goes, ‘tidy home, tidy mind’, but if we switch out ‘home’ for workspace’ it still rings true. Storage is key to organising your desk and office floor, with options available to suit what needs to be done and how you work best. An office space should provide storage for items and documents that don’t need to be sitting out on display 24/7, such as files and records.
At Office Furniture Scene, we have many storage units for the job, all as practical as they are stylish. Most of our storage pieces also have matching cupboards available, allowing you to coordinate your office and establish a contemporary and professional working environment for your staff, visitors and clients.
Wellness is essential
When it comes to office furniture, don’t overlook decoration that can breathe positive life into a space. Houseplants and artificial plants are a great way to add character to the office floor, and if you opt for real plants, you’ll enjoy the added benefit of filtered air.
Studies have shown that having a number of plants in a working environment will result in a 60% improvement in one’s mental well-being. Pick out your favourites to add colour to your office, and encourage your staff to decide which ones they’d like sitting near or on their desks.
For many, an office isn’t complete without desk accessories. Personal trinkets often improve moods, while screen arms and desk lamps help adjust lighting that can make all the difference to your positivity levels while at work.
