Office refurbishment can be a confusing process, and with lots of different office fit out companies to choose from, making a decision can be difficult.
So to give you a helping hand, here is a list of 6 tips to help you choose an office refurbishment service.
1. Integrate Technology Into The
Workplace
The world around us is changing and technology is growing more and
a part of our daily lives.
So, when you refurbish your office space, place a
focus on integrating technology into the work space. You could even choose to use pieces
of modern office furniture that have wireless charging functionality included so your
employees can charge any compatible devices that they are using whilst they work on
projects.
2. Invest In High Quality Modern Office
Furniture
High quality furniture is very important. It can help your
employees feel comfortable in the working environment with pieces of modern office
furniture such as ergonomic office chairs. However, it could also be argued that office
furniture can also help to boost productivity. With a modern office desk, your employees
can take a level of ownership over their own working space,organising and storing things
that they need during their working day in an order that makes sense of them.

3. Colour Is Very
Important
Colour is very useful in a work space and an office refurbishment
is a fantastic opportunity to bring new colours into the office
environment.
Colours can help to influence first impressions, for example the
colour 'Black'is believed to be related to the following traits: Reliability &
Professionalism. As such, black is a fantastic colour to include in your office
environment.
If you're unsure what colour you could include in your office, look
to your business' website and business cards. What colours are being used there? These
colours can help to create a brand image that is uniform across numerous platforms:
online, offline and in person.
4. Create Dedicated Spaces
Office refurbishments are a fantastic opportunity to create new areas of
your office in order to maximise the usage of the space. For example, you could create a
dedicated room specifically for your sales team. Also, if your sales team spends large
amounts of time talking to clients and customers on the phone, you might consider
utilising some acoustics
in the office in order to combat the noise levels. You could include acoustic
foam panelling on the walls or perhaps even some acoustic
furniture.
Additionally, don't forget about a dedicated breakout space in which
your employees can mingle and relax during their break times. This can be a fantastic
place for employees from different departments mingle and interact with each other,
potentially boosting employee
camaraderie.
5. Don't Forget About Natural
Light
Natural light is very important in the workplace and there are lots of
ways that you can refurbish your office in order to make the most out of the natural
light that enters your working environment.
You could include lots of mirrored
and reflective surfaces in order to reflect light back into the office space. For
example, you could add mirrors to some walls in the workplace, or you could include the
business' name in reflective letters on a wall in order to reflect light around the
room. You could even change the windows or create areas for new windows in order to
allow more natural light into your workplace.
Natural light is very important for
the workplace, so when searching for a business to provide a professional office
refurbishment service; remember to discuss your options for natural light with any
office fit out companies that you speak
to.
6. Ask Yourself, “Will This Space Will
Provide Guests With A Good First Impression Of The Business?"
If you're
refurbishing your office environment, you want to make sure that the office space will
provide guests with a good first impression. After all,you wouldn't want a previous
customer to return to your premises and think “I preferred the old office".
If
your place of work has frequent visitors and you do not already have a dedicated
reception/waiting area; an office refurbishment is a fantastic opportunity to create a
space dedicated for people and businesses who visit your workplace.
There are
lots of ways that you can refurbish your office that could potentially make your guests
feel more comfortable at your office. For example, you can utilise colour. As discussed
in point 3, you could use colour to create a uniform appearance for your business across
all platforms. You could also utilise furniture in order to create a comfortable seating
area in which they can relax whilst they wait for their meeting/interview.
