In an effort to encourage employees to come back to the office, many business owners are turning to new design trends and features to brighten up their workplaces. Today’s office renovation projects seem to be following a few common trends, which both employers and their staff seem to enjoy.
If you’re considering an office renovation for your workplace, here are some of the top trends currently gaining popularity:
- Open layout offices. Say goodbye to individual desks and cubicles! Instead of sectioning off employees into their own individual areas, many offices are choosing to adopt a more open layout to encourage collaboration and creativity.
- Eco-friendly upgrades. Simple changes, such as using energy-efficient light bulbs, can help your business save on energy costs. Other common environmentally friendly upgrades can include changing appliances to Energy Star options, installing low-flow bathroom fixtures, or sustainably sourced furniture.
- Active features. Under-desk treadmills, bike chairs, and sit-stand desks are all ways to encourage your employees to move around a bit to keep their minds and bodies active while at work. This can help boost productivity and your employees’ moods.
- Light color schemes. Along with allowing plenty of natural light into your workplace, it might be wise to select lighter colors for your office walls and main furniture pieces. White or cream colors are timeless, classy, and purported to decrease stress levels. Then, you can add accent colors based on your company’s logo or color palette.
