It’s no secret that office design can either enhance or deepen your companies culture. We spend a third of our life at work. While at the office, you’re expected to be productive, creative, and social. Therefore, the design of your office greatly affects how you feel and think. Ultimately, the best design for your office is the one that reflects your values and meets your company’s and your employees’ needs.
Whether you’re an employer or employee, you can make positive changes to your office space and help everyone feel happier to be there. Here are three ideas for decorating your office to make it a pleasant place to be.
Take advantage of windows and plants:
Naturally, we wanted to be outside and found ourselves drawing windows looking out to beautiful landscapes. Bringing nature to you by having a plant nearby can help you to recover demanding activities and lower stress levels.
Pay attention to colour, lightning and shape:
Different colours have different effects on how we perform. Blue and green help us with our creativity while red seems to help us pay attention to detail. Lighting is also an important factor. Dimmer lights promote freedom and therefore creativity, while brighter atmospheres help induce analytical and evaluative thinking.
Own your space:
Bring in some picture frames, plants, decorative cup holders, or even a lamp. Having ownership of what your workspace looks like will have you feeling more committed to your team and increase your productivity.
