Revamping Your Office for a Fresh Start

As the new year approaches, now is the perfect time to change things up for a fresh start. Returning to the office after the Christmas break can feel a little rough after spending time relaxing with food, gifts, and loved ones, so having a revitalised office to return to can make all the difference. 

In this post, we’ll talk about the ways in which we think you can achieve the perfect office refresh for the year ahead.

How can I freshen up my office without renovating it?

The answer is: office furniture. Office furniture is one of the most effective ways to transform a space to make it feel new without paying for a full renovation. Whether in a large commercial building or your home office, new and efficient furniture is the ideal solution for a refresh.

Here are the pieces of furniture to consider upgrading when revamping your office floor or private space.

Ergonomic chairs for a healthier year

When purchasing new furniture, research which office chairs will support you and your employees. With the average adult spending more time at work than at home or socialising, posture must be well-looked after. Ergonomic chairs have revolutionised how we look at office furniture; each mastered piece has spent years in the making, paving the way for a new wave of office chairs.

Brands such as Herman Miller and Humanscale have set a benchmark for ergonomic desk chairs. Removing unnecessary materials, replacing foam with mesh, and stripping out the mechanisms to allow your body to control the movement, these chairs are designed for ultimate skeletal support and overall comfort. 

We are proud to stock a wide range of leading manufacturers of office chairs. When giving your office space its refresh, choose from our selection of fantastic chairs, like the famous Herman Miller Aeron or the stylish Humanscale Diffrient World chair.

Practical storage

Storage of some kind is a must in any office, but it can often present issues due to its bulky and intrusive nature. While filing cabinets of days gone by were a nuisance in the office, there are now many new and innovative ways to organise paperwork and section off areas without taking up space.

Storagewall is a bespoke storage brand that changes the way we organise our offices. Instead of placing storage in any available space, Storagewall will work around you. Fitting cabinets, units and shelves into small, large or uneven spaces, these designs optimise redundant areas such as floor to ceiling.

These incredible and compact units allow you to personalise your storage; you can select which drawers, segments, and accessories you’d like to come with, including slide-out drawers, coat racks, personalised cupboard graphics, and even media screens.

Meeting rooms

For those with office floors or entire buildings, you’ll understand that when speaking to employees one-on-one, it’s important to have meeting rooms that provide a comfortable yet productive impression. Often, meeting rooms can lack personality. However, our supplier, Orangebox, has designed a fantastic answer for creating a fun, safe and affordable space.

Orangebox supplies pods and screened units tailored to you, whether you’re looking for a coffee room, a private working space, or a modern take on a meeting room.

If you have a large open space, office pods are ideal for segregating the office without having to bring in builders and contractors. For smaller meetings or a casual gathering, take a look at the Orangebox Cwtch Screened Unit, providing comfortable seating and a media screen. For larger meetings and a private area for important discussions, a pod such as the Orangebox Campers&Dens is an incredible space solution and a stunning office feature.
