A comfortable and safe office space helps facilitate increased motivation and productivity. Creating a clean, safe work space is a lot easier than many people think. Follow these simple tips to ensure your office is as comfortable as possible for everyone.
Keep it clean
A messy, cluttered workspace can create a chaotic, unproductive atmosphere. Not only can it take you longer to find what you need (whether that’s an important document or a rogue pair of scissors) but it can also make you ill – the accumulation of dirt and grime can trigger allergies or even harbour disease-causing germs. Furthermore, a disorganised workplace can also make you feel stressed and unmotivated to work. This is why it’s important to keep your workspace as clean and tidy as you can.
Invest in quality chairs
Office workers spend a large portion of their time sitting down, so you’ll want your office desk chair to be as comfortable as possible. You should opt for a quality ergonomic chair to provide optimal support and ensure you maintain a healthy posture. Swivel office chairs are particularly beneficial, as wheels give office chairs a firm foundation and provide better balance whilst working.
Make the most of calming tones
Rather than choosing walls with brash colours and contrasting patterns, soothing tones of white, blue and green can add a touch of tranquillity and peace to your office. Light hues are particularly calming, and can easily help alleviate anxiety and stress.
Maximise natural light
A huge factor that can lead to eye strain is the lighting in your workspace. Make sure that you get ample illumination so you don’t have to squint to see what you’re typing or writing. Try switching to warmer toned-bulbs rather than harsh, brash ones and see if that can help with the situation. Better still, try and get as much natural light exposure as possible by installing glass doors and large windows.
Personalise your desk
Last but certainly not least, personalising your work area is one of the best ways to make it feel more comfortable. There are many ways to do this, including investing in plenty of desk plants to make your working space feel light and breezy. You can also display family photos, quirky desk calendars, or even put up some posters of your favourite bands, movies and TV shows.
