When you obtain office space for your business, it can be a big decision to decide how to decorate it and furnish it for your employees and any visiting customers or clients.

Whilst you don’t need an interior design qualification to have good taste, it pays to be clued up on the best furniture and fixings to use to create a stunning office interior that will stand the test of time.

If you want to create an office space with stylish furnishings, here are five top tips to help you.

1.    Agree on a Colour Scheme

Your colour scheme for your office space will reflect your company, so whether you want to keep a calm and neutral colour scheme, or opt for colours reflective of your logo, your colour scheme will form the basis of your office’s identity.

If you have difficulty selecting your colours, why not go for Lick’s peel and stick samples that will allow you to sample paint colours wherever you like. Simply stick, peel and change the samples with ease without the permanence of painting on the wall.

2.    Kit Out Your Company Kitchen

Your company’s kitchen will be the heart of the office, and the place where your employees come together to lunch every day.

Ensuring that the kitchen is decked out with all the equipment your employees need is essential for helping them to feel like they can have a relaxing lunch break.

Companies like Lawcris offer a huge range of melamine worktops for your company’s kitchen that are high quality and hard wearing. These are fantastic for offering a stylish but practical addition to your office without breaking the bank.

3.    Order Ergonomic Office Equipment

In order to promote the overall health of your employees, it’s a good idea to invest in ergonomic office equipment that is tailored to fit employees’ spines and postures.

Additionally, using standing desks from companies like Yo-Yo can help to prevent slouching and back pain caused by sitting for too long, as well as anti-fatigue mats for standing, and encouraging regular screen breaks.

4.    Choose Your Lighting

Lighting in an office environment is incredibly important for the focus of your employees, as well as general aesthetics.

You’ll want to ensure any areas with a working environment are well lit without being too bright. You could opt for LED spotlights, which would disperse light well within a room, but you could also get creative with stylish lampshades on pendant lights too.

5.    Add Personalised Decor

Make your office your own by adding touches of style and sophistication with additional furniture such as chairs, plants and tables that can add a personalised touch to your business.

You could even add personalised art or posters to the walls to create a comfortable and homely feel that will help your employees feel relaxed and productive, and provide a welcoming air to visiting customers or clients.

Plants like spider plants, aloe vera, snake plants and sword ferns are also air purifying plants, and are known to help circulate oxygen. This will ultimately help to improve concentration levels in your office and enhance productivity levels.
