Office Design Advice: There's Nothing Wrong With Practical!

Don't be fooled into thinking you have to create an over the top office interior with cutting edge furniture that costs a fortune. In all honestly, there's nothing wrong with keeping things practical! In today's edition of 'Office Design Advice' we'll highlight the tips, tricks, and product suggestions needed to do just that.

When the time comes to remodel your interiors, sit down with your team and create a list of goals. Productivity, comfort, and well rounded good looks should all be atop the list. In many cases, today's modern furniture may look cool, but it isn't practical for intensive use and all day comfort, thus making it hard to achieve your goals.

You might be thinking "going practical seems a bit boring", but it definitely doesn't have to be. Take a look at full service office furniture collections like Aberdeen from Mayline to see what we mean. This line of executive style desks, power ready conference tables, and fashionable reception stations is sure to earn your interiors the compliments they deserve without being too over the top. In new finish options like Textured Gray Steel, Aberdeen components will help you add a touch of flair to your professional environments while still remaining practical.

The best part about practical office furniture is that it's affordable. Blowing a bunch of hard earned money on cutting edge furniture is absolutely unnecessary. We commonly recommend collections like Superior Laminate from Offices To Go because they're cost effective and fully loaded with everything you need to craft well rounded interiors on a budget.

There's also nothing wrong with selecting practical ergonomic office chair for your workspace. In many cases, users find practical chairs easier to use. As many of today's overpriced ergonomic chairs come loaded with confusing attributes that seldom get used, save the budget by going with a well rounded chair that's ready for the demands of the modern workplace. Popular options like the Eon chair from Cherryman provide exceptional comfort, user friendly features, and unrivaled value. At just $294.00, the Eon is one of the best chair buys of the year.

Lobby and waiting room remodels can get very pricey because the larger the area, the more components you'll need to furnish it effectively. Rest assured, a practical approach wins again! We recommend going with polypropylene guest chairs that can be stacked from a brand like Global. Best selling options like the 6621 model Duet chair are available in cool colors and provide unrivaled durability. These easy to clean side chairs can be connected to form creative layouts that maximize your square footage. When not in use, Duet chairs can be stacked to make your space easier to clean. While a single lounge chair will cost you between three and five hundred dollars, Duet chairs are sold in affordable 4 packs for $346.99.

In the conference room, you can't go wrong with practical furniture and seating. While we do recommend selecting a conference table with a powered top, you don't have to spend a fortune on high tech HDMI and USB inputs. A simple combination of data and 3 prong outlets will do the trick.

When the time comes to select chairs for your conference room, skip the expensive overstuffed executive leather chairs and keep things simple. In truth, overstuffed conference chairs take up a ton of space and they're not sat in for long periods of time. You can get the most out of your space without sacrificing appeal by selecting multi purpose nesting chairs like the TSH1 Valore from Mayline.

Last but not least, you'll want to outfit your interior with practical ergonomic office accessories that promote efficiency operating and comfort. You can't go wrong with a sit to stand work surface attachment like the 5100 model from OFM. It encourages continuous movement in the workplace and reduces fatigue. Sure you could go with a fancy height adjustable workstation that raises and lowers at the push of a button, but they cost a fortune! Units like the 5100 are available for $275.99 and work with just about any desk.
