It doesn’t have to take thousands of dollars to get the ball rolling on office design. It’s possible to find a range of affordable upgrades that can keep you from breaking the bank when designing your office. For example, we offer high-quality pre-owned office furniture that can save you a lot of money. Here are some office design tips that can help you if you’re on a budget.
Your Office Design Should be Flexible
Even if you can’t purchase all of the items you’d like right away, that doesn’t mean you should buy a smaller office only to buy a bigger office space later. That only costs more money! Do you expect exponential business growth in the future? If so, an open layout will benefit you because of how flexible it is. How you arrange your office now might be a different story later.
Multi-Purpose Storage is Efficient
When you spend quite a chunk of change on storage solutions, this can add up before you know it. Multi-purpose storage can save money and space, and some desks have feature drawers or built-in shelves. Large console tables with built-in storage are also ideal, and hutches exist that combine bookshelves and file cabinets, creating one storage solution.
Be Aware of Your Energy Usage
If there are any ways that you can go green within your commercial office space, you should. Commercial offices burn up plenty of energy with all their electronics, outlets, appliances, and fixtures. Invest in smart electronics that can help you control the lights or thermostat from your smartphone to lower energy bills or make sure to turn off the lights or unplug particular devices when no one is using them.
Add Greenery to Your Office Design
When you go green and add greenery into your office, you may smile at the money you save. Plants are less expensive than some decorations, and they make any environment more inviting and breathable. It’s fantastic how a few strategically-placed plants can change an entire atmosphere. Plus, plants have a calming effect that your employees will appreciate.
Paint the Office
You don’t have to paint the walls a bold or jarring color, but soft greens and blues can enhance your office in a subtly stylish way. Even a rich tan compared to a plain, white wall can change your office’s feel.
