Renovating Your Office And Impress Your Visitors.
According to experts it’s impossible to renew your workspace without spending a fortune. If renovating your office is really worth the outlay it takes to impresses your visitors and create a warm, inviting space that inspires your employees depends on the approach you take to your office overhaul.
In life, we routinely change location in order to influence our moods. In your personal life, you probably don’t doubt that your physical environment affects your mood. Just think about how a messy house can get you down or a walk in a pretty natural landscape can calm you.
Why wouldn’t the same be true of your office? Think about things in this light and you can probably see that your drab surroundings aren’t doing anything for your creativity, productivity, or team’s happiness, but then you put your sensible business owner hat back on and start counting up the costs of a remodel. Here are some of the best tips to renovate your office.
The Reception
If you don’t really need the reception, doing away with it is a trend we’re increasingly seeing. If you’ve got clients coming in all the time, maybe you need one; if not, it is not essential. You might think how the clients would know their way without a receptionist. This could be one reason you are pondering ditching your reception area. The solution is simple. Put branded bubbles on the ground, some in blue, some in green. The different colors lead to different rooms, making it easy for the client to understand where to go. The cheap and colorful floor markers also personalize and brighten up the space. So, don’t nag by worries that clients might feel lost at sea when they step into the office. The answer is right under your feet.
Fresh Air
When you’re fixing up your office don’t neglect changing how your office smells. Along with obsessing about how things look, changing how your office smells can also make it a much nicer place to be at basically no cost. A research into how smells affect the accuracy of typists, I was found that 54% made fewer errors when they could smell lemon, 33% fewer with jasmine, and 20% fewer with lavender. So, perhaps businesses need an improved air freshener more than you think.
Outdoors
Make sure you incorporate some way for your team to connect with the great outdoors, as a glimpse of nature has been shown to boost creativity. You’ll love to see something green and alive right there at work and it will make that creative thinking view so much nicer. Get some plants, or if you can’t manage them, arrange your desk to look outside. Even using natural materials like unpainted wood can help on this front.
Walls
Looking for an even larger decorative touch to give your space a distinctive character? We have an idea. Replace the regular whiteboard with the chalkboard spray paint used in kitchens and kids’ rooms. A chalkboard is a quick way to take a note while you’re on the phone and it’s more stylish than a startlingly white whiteboard.
Corporate Art
Don’t subject your people to soul-destroying posters of eagles and inspirational phrases! Search online and download a digital photo with the appropriate Creative Commons license. These are a better alternative that won’t break your budget. Customize it by zooming, cropping, zooming, or adding effects. Enlarge and print an excerpt from a book or your favorite poem or quote. Matted and framed, it can become an unexpected and unique art piece. Just don’t skimp on size. At least one or two truly big pieces will anchor your office.
Technology
The paperless office is a growing trend in 2017. Businesses physically printing work to be reviewed, signed and scanned, cause a significant drain on employee productivity, along with hurting the environment. Fortunately, new software tools are being developed that allow companies to securely manage files online. This means improved efficiency at a lower cost.
Encourage employees to go digital, and reduce the use of paper. Build a healthy business relationship with your clients, using emails, phone calls, face to face meetings and technical presentations of your product, instead of depending on flyers and brochures.
