Dear Readers,
Welcome to today’s quick insights session here at Calibre!
When it comes to office design, what is the first thought that springs to mind? For a few of us here at Calibre, we instantly think of popular notions like office space planning, office furniture items, employee wellness options, etc. However, do we ever think of the role that texture may play in office design? Probably not.
In our opinion, it’s definitely worth exploring the correlation between office design and texture choices for your business and I’m sure the team at Turnstone would agree with this. How do we know? Well, we recently came across their article on the various clever ways of adding texture to the office during the office design process, This as a result, led us to explore this concept further. Here is what we found:
Key Considerations:
- You can add texture and uniqueness to your office surroundings by investing in funky office accessories such as distinctive plants, green walls, sculptural pieces, vases, potpourri, etc. In fact, you can even go the extra mile by placing a few of these timeless office artefacts on a glass office table so they stand out more? The choice is yours!
- Moreover, let’s talk fabrics! In the Turnstone article, it has clearly been pointed out that using fabrics on office furniture items such as office chairs and breakout booths can also help with adding texture to a space. We agree! Most of the time, many office workers prefer to be seated on an office chair, which is made up of a comfortable and cosy fabric material as oppose to sitting on a sturdy metal or wooden type of desk chair.
- You can also incorporate texture into your office design through textured accent walls (a massive wow factor nowadays), 3D wall art, eye-catching acoustic panels, etc. You may even want to consider adding pillows and rugs in your reception, canteen and breakout areas in other words the ‘office chill out zones’.
Summary:
By now, you should have become a whiz at all the key ways of adding some personality to your workspace with the help of quirky textured goods being incorporated to your office design. You might be thinking, what are the advantages of doing so? Well, not only do textured items give your office some character but they also keep your staff members motivated. Why? Because most office workers would usually prefer to work in an uplifting, contemporary and jazzy type of office instead of a bland, plain-Jane and dated one.
