Tips on Decorating with Office Furniture from a Leading Johannesburg Supplier
The office is a home away from home, for you and your workforce and as such, you need to make it as comfortable and functional as possible. If you’re shopping around for office furniture in Johannesburg, it’s best to think about the overall design, look and feel you are after. It can be tough paying a visit to a furniture supplier and selecting random furniture items if you don’t have a goal or the bigger picture in mind. At Quantum Office Furniture, we have spent many hours helping business owners to create office spaces that are well furnished, ergonomically set up and promote a healthy workflow.
To help you in your endeavour to furnish and decorate your office space effectively, in order to cater to the comfort and productivity needs of your staff members, as well as to create a good corporate image for your business, consider our tips below:
Spending every day in the office can make you oblivious of how others might see it. Office furniture that is potentially looking tatty or out of date may just seem like the norm to you because you see it so often. Make sure that your office space looks neat and organised with the correct storage and filing systems, as well as quality furniture.
It can be tempting to stick to neutral colours and themes for the sake of a corporate appeal, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t get creative. Perhaps choose colourful chairs for your waiting room or similar. Coffee tables can also create colourful focal points. In employee breakaway areas, keep things fun. This is where your staff will relax, unwind, refresh and take a quick break from the stress. You might find that our canteen chairs and tables are bright and colourful enough to bring an element of fun and relaxation into your employees’ “chill” zones.
There is nothing more disconcerting to clients than to see company desks simply overflowing with paperwork and clutter. The furniture that you buy for your office can play a major role in ensuring that your office space is kept clutter-free and more productive as a result. Browse through our list of filing and storage cabinets to stow away items that aren’t permanently in use. You should also choose desks that have built-in drawers and cupboards, and it’s also helpful to look for storage shelves and similar. A clutter-free office space is an attractive one to the customer.
It’s ultimately useless having great pieces of office furniture from top Johannesburg suppliers, only to set everything up wrong. Make sure that you have your office space ergonomically set out to ensure that things are in their place and that staff members can reach what they need, when they need it. If you need a little help with this, our space planning and office design experts can assist you with placing your furniture pieces and capitalising on space. We also have an array or ergonomically designed furniture pieces that can add to the comfort and convenience of your employees.
Work shouldn’t be all about work, especially when you consider that your workforce spends a majority of their day there. For staff members, having something personal at work can make all the difference to how they enjoy their day. While you don’t want for your employees to bring a selection of things that clutter up the workspace, it’s a good idea to allow a few aesthetically pleasing décor items that they can include on their desks. Things such as a framed photo, a personalised coffee mug or similar are popular workspace options. It can make all the difference to how your staff members feel about their personal space at work.
