Reconsidering Office Design Can Be the Perfect Solution to Small Crowded Workspaces

Many employees sharing a small office space can decrease productivity and interfere with office harmony. Employees forced to work closely, share equipment and invade each other's space every time they walk by, do not work as efficiently as employees who have more space and ample equipment. At the same time it is hard to justify the expense of moving.

Office refurbishment companies can help by improving the office design creating usable space. This can be done by incorporating areas previously blocked out for other purposes, or rearrange the furniture for better use of floor space. Often in older office buildings their are tiny nooks and alcoves which are hard to convert to modern office design purposes, but the right office refurbishment London team can arrange that tiny nook to form the perfect office for that young intern who was formerly without a proper workspace. With the right design even the smallest most crowded space can appear larger, and accommodate the staff more comfortably.

Color and lighting can also be used to make work areas seem larger. Furnishings can also play a role in opening up a space. A large clunky square desk can be replaced by a more functional streamlined wall hugging unit with organizer shelves. Custom furnishings can often be constructed to fit existing spaces rather than trying to fit standard sized pieces into an enclosed corner space. With the right use of space one can often optimize productivity and create better relations between employees. No one wants to be crowded when they are working or share equipment they need almost constantly because there isn't room for duplications. With the right office planning and space optimization the office efficiency should increase considerably. By Rob W Johnson
