Just like those you might get when a visitor walks into your home, receiving compliments on your legit-looking office space is quite lekker.

Sure, at the end of the day it’s a space for your employees to put their head down and work, but imagine the pleasure and motivation that comes with looking up and seeing something pleasing to the eye.

Many bosses wouldn’t have a clue where to begin, interior design not exactly being everyone’s forte.

So where does one commence in the ultimate office transformation? Small Biz Trends leads the way:

1. Add More Colour

Use office colours strategically because people experience psychological changes when exposed to certain colours. So, for example, red can get employees excited about where they work, while blue and green can communicate feelings of relaxation, hopefulness and calm.

2. Create Designated Lounge Spaces

Designated lounge spaces with comfortable seating and cosy set up like a coffee shop or café allow the body and mind to rest, which improves productivity and focus at work.

3. Use Adaptable Furniture

Look for furniture that is comfortable, can be moved easily and has multiple uses. This type of furniture enables collaboration without sacrificing focus and worker well-being.

4. Allow Use of Co-working Spaces

People who use co-working spaces every day or some days of the week feel like they’re part of a community and see their work as meaningful. This boosts worker productivity and fulfilment.

5. Provide Quiet Zones for Individual Work

Sometimes we need quiet workspaces to do our best work. Offer a quiet zone, ideally with noise levels between 48 and 52 decibels (dB), to facilitate this.

6. Incorporate Plants

Add office plants to improve workspace aesthetics and air quality. Other wellness tips you can use in the office include adding health-focused furniture, such as standing desks and stability ball chairs.
