As we prepare for a more prosperous 2023, let’s ponder on the physical suitability of our workspaces at home or in the office. If we consider the new challenges and needs of our workforce and consumers, we’ll be able to create a more appealing and productive space design strategy for the coming year.
Here are some our top 5 trends for your New Year Workspace:
1.Promote a collaborative climate. Open office concepts often backfire, as some employees may feel distracted and exposed. But that much needed collaborative magic can still happen if we set designated group spaces with adequate furniture, so your staff can engage in spontaneous interactions that lead to sharing, socializing and some amazing team work.
2.Support different work styles. Talent means diversity. Your team members have different ways of operating and require specific set-ups to do their best work. Whether it’s your executive, operative, sales or creative teams, offer each group the particular setup they need to thrive.
3.Throw in a wild color card. While it is certainly a safe investment to design a contemporary workspace with modern furniture in neutral tones, we must also avoid the big B: Boredom.
Mix up your furniture browns, grays and whites with a fun pop of color like the glorious Pantone Viva Magenta, chosen color for 2023. Play up your eclectic edge to concoct interior aesthetics that are stimulating but also sophisticated.
4.Consider all the feels. How we interact with a certain space has both physical and psychological impacts. The way our areas are configured, divided and furnished will determine our work environment, which will prompt a positive or negative reaction from our staff and visitors. The most important element to consider is peace of mind.
A space that is disorganized, cluttered or chaotic can be troublesome. Get ahead by offering a more residential experience within the workspace; a cozy, inspiring and pleasant ambiance that manages to feel comfortable and beautiful but still functional.
5.Use space design as a strategy. An office is a limitless marketing opportunity to showcase your company’s vision. Don’t waste it with a messy, dated or and unoriginal space.
Give life to exceptional work areas that speak about your brand with every choice of color, furniture style, wall panel and signage. Build your office like a powerful arena where you can communicate, connect and conquer.
