If your business’s office is looking a little impersonal you might want to consider sprucing it up so that clients and employees alike can feel welcome. Adding some décor to your space can make a huge difference and showcase your brand as both personable and professional. However, there’s a fine line between tasteful décor and going over the top. Hopefully t,his blog will give you lots of ideas that will make your business’s office look as good as possible.
Custom printed canvases
While having generic art in your office can create a welcoming atmosphere, it would be even better to have pictures of your employees or events that you’ve hosted. Whether you plan to set up a photoshoot in the near future to capture some great branded images or you already have an album full of professional snaps, hello canvas can help you to display them tastefully in your office. Not only will clients get a better understanding of who you are as a company, but employees will enjoy a more community feel.
Add greenery
All too often business offices are stark places with artificial lights and lots of clean lines. While there’s nothing wrong with this, adding some plants can really lift the space and give your office a more organic feeling. Indoor plants may even lower the stress levels of your staff and boost productivity. Most people like to be reminded of nature on a day-to-day basis, especially when living in a bustling city, so why not bring nature indoors?
Upgrade your lighting
Some offices benefit from lots of natural light, while others are dimly lit. If you’re not fortunate enough to have lots of big windows, you may want to invest in some LED lights that help your employees to feel invigorated throughout the day. Poor lighting can increase eye strain and may make people feel lethargic, but you don’t want to go too far in the other direction either. Having very bright lights will cause just as many problems, so try to strike a balance. Perhaps you could invest in some stylish desk lamps to help staff control their lighting needs.
Allow personalisation
Employees spend a lot of time in the office so letting them bring some of their own decorations and mementoes from home can help the premises to feel more welcoming. Staff may decide to bring in framed photos of their loved ones, a warm blanket in the winter months, or even a desk organiser that helps them be more efficient. If you’re worried about the office looking cluttered, set a limit on the number of items people can bring or have some guidelines for them to follow. You may even want to have a monthly tidy-up session to encourage people to take home anything they’re not using.
There are lots of ways you can decorate your office, but before you take action, you need to decide what kind of look you’re going for. However, don’t forget, it’s not just the way your office looks that will determine whether your company is the best place to work. Always listen to feedback from staff and make changes based on what the people want.
