Choosing the right office furniture is just as important as choosing your office space. It speaks to who you are as an organization and as a team.

You can transform a space simply by changing or adding new office furniture pieces. Whether your style is sleek and modern or warm and cozy, there’s a design element for everybody and every office.

We know that choosing the right office furniture can be a daunting task, so here are 5 tips to help you do it successfully. Keep reading to learn more!

1. Choose Functional Pieces

First and foremost, your pieces have to be functional. Think about your employee’s jobs; what do they do daily? 

Are they using 3 large monitors on their office desks? Is there special equipment that they need room for? Don’t be afraid to ask your employees what their preferences may be either.

The best office furniture will offer ample maneuverability and include plenty of storage. Consider your business’s primary day-to-day functions and build off of that. 

2. Embrace Comfort

Studies have shown that comfort improves productivity. What better way to encourage your employees to work more efficiently than by providing them with comfortable and adjustable office chairs?

Even in waiting and reception areas, a comfortable chair is more welcoming than hard benches or stools. It shows your customers or clients that you are happy to have them there.

3. Select Lobby or Reception Area Furniture Deliberatively

Your lobby or reception area is often the first impression someone will have of your office. What will it say?

Are your chairs in brand colors? Are they conducive to conversation or meant to be spaced out? The reception area will tell clients everything they need to know about your organization before continuing, so ensure it makes a good first impression.

4. Pay Attention to the Size of Your Space

Before you purchase any office furniture, measure your space. Determine how many of each furniture item you suspect you’ll need and how many will fit into the space you have. Our office design experts can help you maximize your space and budget.

Overcrowded office spaces can feel overwhelming, even if cleverly styled. Conversely, an under-furnished space can make a space feel unfinished and awkward.

5. Pick an Intentional Style

Your brand has a style, whether you realize it or not. Choosing an intentional style allows you to take power over what’s being said about your business through its office furniture. 

Determine your business’s audience, typical clientele, and targeted demographic. Think about what the style of your office furniture says to those people. 

Keep your style consistent throughout your office space and use it to your advantage.
