Blend The Comfortable With The Corporate
In the digital age, most of us use less paper and generally need less desk space. Under these circumstances, armchairs, sofas and other non-traditional furnishings may be just as or more useful than swivel chairs or filing cabinets.
Create A Relaxation Zone
Try incorporating an actual den/lounge into the mix. In this room, a pair of ultracomfortable chaise longues are as practical as they are luxurious, inviting the user to flake out at the end of a long day or just recline during a phone call.
Conquer The Clutter
If your office has a closet, you can easily turn it into valuable space for customized storage by removing the clothes rod and replacing it with wood shelves and dividers (painted in a snazzy colour scheme to complement the room).
Suppress The Cubicle Ethos
The addition of decorative fabrics, elegant wallpapers and meaningful artwork helps add a positive element that both appeals to the eye and fosters creativity, resulting in a personalized workplace that will inspire you every day.
Match metal tones for decorative cohesion
Removing old knobs and re-plating them in a finish of your choice for about $10 each is a terrific way to update an inexpensive desk find. Apply the same finish to light fixtures, picture frames and high-tech tools!
