Here we'll be showcasing 6 commercial interiors that feature the on-trend elements needed to help you work comfortably and efficiently while simultaneously making a lasting impression on your guests.

1.) Gray Office Furniture

First up is an executive interior furnished with gray steel laminate components from the Mayline Aberdeen Series. As you might of guessed, this space is all about the gray office furniture. The gray trend started slow in 2015 and really took off in the 4th quarter of 2017. This year, gray is all the rage. A gray steel finished Aberdeen desk configuration will help you blend the line between contemporary and coastal to create a workspace with wow factor.

2.) Modular Lobby Seating

Up next is a fashionable guest welcoming area furnished with the components from the Woodstock Jefferson Series. This elite interior is all about modular functionality. The modular trend has dominated remodeling projects in 2018 as it allows businesses to maximize square footage and think outside the box with their seating configurations. If you're tired of the same old sofas and lounge chairs, a modular lobby seating layout will certainly spice things up.

3.) Sit Stand Tables

Our third space highlights 3 trends you'll definitely want to be aware of when designing commercial office interiors. The first is the sit to stand tables from the Mayline ML series. Height adjustable tables like these make it easy to adapt on the fly to stay active, improve posture, and reduce energy dips. The second is the white storage components. They're contemporary, easy to blend with accenting finishes, and great for modern remodels. The third is the responsive office chairs.

Moving right along, our next interior is all about collaboration. It's been the buzzword of the year and because of it, traditional cubicle systems are being kicked to the curb. These days it's all about interaction. While cubicles are great for privacy, businesses are finding that productivity levels increase when employees are working together and holding each other accountable. With an open concept benching system like the one seen here furnished with Global SideBar II components, you can create clean sight lines, spark creativity, and so much more.

5.) White Office Furniture

The first is a standing height surface that pairs with swivel out seats that make it easy to transition between sitting and standing when collaborating. The second is the powered surface with USB and AC inputs that help to streamline strategizing sessions. The third is the industrial-modern look that's sweeping the nation. Endure tables are constructed with heavy duty steel frames and attractive surface finishes to create some of the coolest interiors on the planet.

When it comes to tables, OFM knows their stuff. This year they're rocking the workplace with the standing height solutions from their Endure collection.

Design Advice: Select Furniture That Inspires Creativity!

Corporate appeal is important, but when the time comes to remodel your office interiors, don't forget about creativity. Crafting work environments that inspire creativity will help you take your business to the next level. Lucky for you, today's top office furniture brands are hard at work designing the products needed to achieve both high end appeal and creativity like we've never seen before.

Traditional cubicle systems are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Why you ask? Because they make employees feel closed off from one another. When this happens, creativity is limited. That's why this year, furniture brands like Mayline are striving to promote healthy collaboration with open concept benching systems. The modular components from furniture collections like e5 make it easier than ever to create group desk layouts that keep employees involved with one another. Don't settle for subpar panel furniture that lacks the ability to keep up with the demands of your modern business. Get the creative juices flowing with a collaborative benching system!

Mayline isn't the only manufacturer crafting collaborative office furniture systems designed for improved creativity. Not by a long shot! If you want to rock your remodel in 2017, check out the Bridges II collection from Global. This high tech line makes it easier than ever to think outside the box. If you're tired of traditional workstations and want to inspire your employees, Bridges II is the way to go.

Take your quest for improved creativity to the training room with connectable tables. We recommend those from the OFM Mesa series. They're cost effective, stylish, and down right versatile. These folding training room tables with wheels can be quickly configured for groups of any size. When not in use, Mesa tables can be housed horizontally along perimeter walls to maximize square footage.

Great ideas are always flowing in the conference room. Don't limit them with a non-powered table. If you're ready to streamline boardroom functionality, save time, and inspire your valued employees, go with a conference table that has a powered top to get the job the job done right.

While you're at it, why not help your guests get creative while they wait for appointments? Sure a traditional sofa and lounge chair configuration will get the job done, but there's definitely a better way to skin the cat. Powered lounge chairs with tablet arms and connectable guest seating is now the preferred choice for welcoming areas. The ability to improve the guest experience is simply too much for the average business to pass up. Powered chairs and tablet arm seating solutions allow visitors to work while the way, thus keeping them more entertained and of course, creative!

Last but not least, you'll want to select office chairs for your interiors that don't limit functionality and restrict creativity. Let's put it this way, if you're employees are constantly twisting chair tension knobs and pulling mechanism levers, they're far from focused. Why not select chairs that minimize the ergonomic learning curve and take the guess work out of getting comfortable. Today's self adjusting ergonomic task chairs are the way to go. Chairs like the Arti from Global Total Office and the Living chair from Mayline automatically respond to user movements to provide top notch support. Purchasing "smart chairs" is just plain smart. They'll cut down on the time spent adjusting for perfect posture and increase the time available for collaboration and creativity.

5 Office Remodeling Trends To Avoid In 2017

To craft elite office interiors, you have to stay up to date with the latest trends while simultaneously knowing which ones to avoid. That's where we come in! Today we'll showcase 5 remodeling fads that are rapidly fading due to market innovation. From overstuffed executive chairs to glass top conference tables, these trends where once the industry standard. Now there's better options for your business!

1.) Overstuffed Executive Chairs

The days of using overstuffed executive style office chairs are coming to an end. They're too bulky! In 2017, sleek European style executive chairs have become the preferred option of shoppers and interior design teams. They save space, look great, and don't lack in terms of support.

Overstuffed chairs have a lot of padding and a traditional vibe that was once in style. Unfortunately that no longer translates into the efficient comfort needed to operate at peak performance levels. There's no lumbar support, adjustable, arms or waterfall seat edge.

Hot new chair styles like the iOO from Eurotech Seating are changing the the way executives sit. They provide a refreshing look at where the industry is heading, and it's far from those classic overstuffed tufted chairs used in the late 90's.

2.) High Wall Cubicle Systems

Cubicles will always have their place. However, high wall furniture systems are being kicked to the curb as they limit team interaction. The industry has now turned to open concept benching systems that promote creativity and collaboration.

Today's top collaborative benching lines from Global and Mayline offer the modular benefits needed to outfit interiors of any size. Benching systems are cutting edge to stay the least. They boast innovative storage options and surface level power imports that will help streamline your daily tasks.

Traditional cubicle systems are great for privacy, but that's about all. Open concept benching will make your interiors feel far more larger and appealing.

In terms of price, you'll probably even save a bundle by making the switch to collaborative workstations. The upsides are hard to deny! If you're tired of your employees feeling closed off from one another and you're ready to get the creative juices flowing, consider modern cubicle alternatives in 2017 and beyond.

3.) Fixed Leg Training Tables

You'll probably still see this style of table used in classrooms for a few more years. That being said, traditional fixed leg training room tables have pretty much become giant paper weights. Businesses have learned the value of modularity in the workplace.

Cool new folding training room tables with wheels make it easy to maximize floor space. When not in use, they can be effectively nested along perimeter walls without the heavy lifting required by fixed leg variations.

Today's top brands are rapidly discontinuing fixed leg table collections. On the flip side, we're seeing innovative modular like those from the Bungee collection really hit their stride. With the ability to connect and form both conference and training layouts, the possibilities are truly endless. Don't allow your business to be sucked into the old school fixed leg way of thinking. Go modular. You'll be glad you did!

4.) Sit To Stand Keyboard Trays

You've seen the commercials. You've read the articles. Sit to stand desktop risers are rapidly becoming a staple in home and business work environments. As we sit for long periods of time, our muscles begin to stiffen up and blood flow is restricted. This causes productivity levels to drop and comes with long term health risks.

To solve the problem, manufacturers started crafting sit to stand workplace solutions. It started with keyboard trays and then moved to monitor arms. This year, the two products have combined with the modern desktop riser. Now, sit to stand keyboard trays and monitor arms are becoming obsolete.

Purchasing a sit to stand keyboard tray is great, except you won't be able to raise your monitors to eye level. Purchasing a sit to stand monitor arm is great, except you won't be able to type without hunching over the keyboard. Purchasing both is great, but it requires a big time investment. That's why sit to stand desktop attachments have become so popular. Units like the 5100 model from OFM are incredibly cost effective at just $275.99. They make sit to stand operating a breeze and far more affordable.

5.) Glass Conference Tables

Glass conference room tables are definitely cool. It's hard to deny it! Unfortunately they're not ready to meet the multi media demands of the modern work day. For the same price as a custom glass top table (and probably much less in all honesty), you can outfit your meeting area with an advanced conference table with a powered surface that helps streamline your important corporate strategizing sessions.

In the long run, performance and productivity are far more important than fashion appeal. Powered tables with USB, HDMI, and other awesome inputs will take your presentations to a whole new level.   As an added bonus, today's powered conference tables are also incredibly appealing. You won't give up much by passing on that classy glass top table. The benefits of powered furniture far outweigh the appeal of glass.

Inspiring Interiors 2017: Collaborative Office Environments

It's all about collaboration in 2017! In the modern age of benching, open concept workstations, and modular training tables, it's time to take your work environments to the next level.

When paired with sleek task chairs from the Mayline Valore seating collection, this high tech space is the total package.

Next up, we've got a fashionable open concept interior furnished with Adaptabilities components from Global. Even at first glance you'll notice the unique two tone finish combination that pairs perfectly with glass paneling and silver trim. With its D island collaboration station, hosting team strategizing sessions is a breeze. The integrated file pedestals and small hutch promote efficient organizing without taking up too much valuable floor space.

The tablet arm Interplay series lounge chairs allow guests to sit comfortable and take notes during important corporate gatherings. An open concept feel is quickly generated as the tablet arm chairs eliminate the need for an abundance of desks and tables. The OFM tablet arm lounge chairs from the InterPlay collection also boast mobilized bases that come in handy when it's time to break off into smaller groups.

It's also a great idea to promote guest interaction with a collaborative design. To improve the visiting experience, skip the classic lounge chair and sofa layout and craft an inspiring welcoming area with modular seating. Our third space provides an inspiring look at the collaborative versatility your business can enjoy with waiting room beam seating from OFM. The ability to maximize floor space and square footage while impressing clientele from the minute they walk in the door is simply too much to pass up.

Last but certainly not least, allow us to inspire you with a collaborative office furniture configuration using components from the Cherryman Amber collection.
