Common mistakes to avoid when designing office spaces

Designing your office space the right way

No two interiors are alike. Creating schematic arrangements is pointless. Still, it is worth knowing some office design fundamentals. What mistakes should you avoid to create an office that is pleasant to work in?

Mistake No. 1: Unnecessary partition walls

You should opt for the open space model if only the nature of your work so permits. A spacious office means greater freedom of movement, more oxygen and improved access to daylight. Our modern, mobile Selva acoustic walls work great as office partitions. Selva walls can be freely rearranged, allowing you to divide the common space into compartments in whatever way you need.

Mistake No. 2: No dedicated quiet zones

Every office needs a place where you can focus. But what if there is not enough space to allocate a separate room for this purpose? Enter acoustic booths. Treehouse series cabins  are essentially miniature conference rooms. Depending on the model, they can hold up to four people, allowing them to work comfortably.

Not only can acoustic booths become comfortable spaces for individual work, but they can also serve as places for creative brainstorming. Importantly, you can also easily hold teleconferences and business talks inside. Their walls and glass have excellent soundproofing properties, muting both outside noises and keeping your business talks private. This guarantees full discretion, allowing you to focus on the task at hand while also improving office acoustics.

Mistake No. 3: Furniture unsuited to employee needs

Always choose office furniture that employees can adjust to their height and preferred work style. Tables with adjustable tabletops, as well as armchairs with adjustable seats, backrests and armrests are a must. However, we recommend going a step further and enabling employees to work in various places and different positions – both sitting and standing.

Mistake No. 4: No space conducive to relaxationi

A relaxed mind always teems with ideas. Thus, every office must have a space where you can have a meal or take your mind off work – if only for a moment. At the same time, there is no need to have a separate chillout room. Modular sofas with acoustic walls or acoustic furniture from the Beachhouse or Social Swing collections can help you easily set up open space R&R zones.
