Contrary to popular belief, office furniture is not limited to swiveling chairs and desks. Office furniture also includes things such as filing cabinets, conference tables, and more! If your office has been feeling bleak lately, if your employees are getting bored, or if you’re simply looking for an office refresh, consider swapping out or adding some new office furniture to the mix. Below are a few ideas to get you started.
Writing Desks
Writing desks (no, they’re not limited to just writers) are the perfect addition to your office if you feel your employees are having a hard time focusing or are easily distracted. Writing desks are simple, smooth, and flat, without any features to distract you from the task at hand. They come without drawers or shelves, so your employees may need a filing cabinet to store their things. Although they are simple, writing desks are available in all colors and styles, and can be customized to match your office’s color scheme. However, writing desks can be pricey, so be careful about which brand you choose and carefully consider all the benefits and drawbacks before committing to a full set of writing desks.
Floating Desks
If you feel like your office is cramped or crowded, floating desks are the solution for you. Floating desks have to be built-in to your office walls. Because they have no legs, this gives the illusion that they are floating! The extra space underneath floating desks is great for jobs with lots of technical devices. If your employees tend to store a lot of files and other items, you could even add cabinets underneath their desks. Floating desks are easily installed near windows and create a clean, simple look. Like writing desks, they are available in all styles and colors, so be sure to carefully select the best finish for you and your company!
Ergonomic Chairs
Scoliosis and other back problems have become increasingly prevalent over the past decade or so, likely due to the increasing number of office jobs in today’s world. If you or your employees suffer from back problems, don’t “suck it up”. Dealing with it could lead to chronic problems that could keep you up at night and may require surgery. Ergonomic chairs provide contoured back support and are ideal for employees that will be sitting for a long time. Ergonomic chairs have features such as comfortable headrests, relaxing armrests, and conveniently adjustable heights, so one size really does fit all. While ergonomic chairs can be a bit expensive, they’re definitely worth it when it comes to preserving your health and making the work day a more positive experience.
