From investing in collaborative furniture to simply applying a fresh coat of pain, the advice provided here will get you on the path to office excellence.

1.) Collaborative Furniture

Traditional cubicle systems are great for privacy, but they create obstructed sight lines and make for overcrowded interiors. These days it's not about seeing how many workers you can squeeze into a single space. It is however about designing open concept interiors that encourage creativity and employee interaction. That's where collaborative office furniture comes in. With cubicle alternatives like benching systems from brands like Global and Mayline you can encourage collaboration on the work floor.

Popular Collaborative Furniture Collections:

• SideBar
• Bridges II
• Bungee
• e5
• EVEN WorkTables

2.) Ergonomic Components

There's no better way to refine your office interiors. Ergonomic components will help you create modern vibes, but more importantly they'll help you and your fellow employees work healthy. These days there's no shortage or ergonomic products on the market. This means you need to be careful when making your selections. We've provided a list of popular items below to help you decide which sound the most beneficial.

Popular Ergonomic Components:

• Height Adjustable Tables: With height adjustable tables you can work sitting or standing and smoothly transition between both positions to stay active. Height adjustable tables will help you create clean sight lines in group work areas like the training room.
• Desktop Risers: Place a desktop riser atop your desk to enjoy the benefits of sit to stand operating without investing in expensive electronic furniture. A sit to stand office desk attachment will help you improve posture and blood flow.
• Perch Stools: With a perch stool you can enjoy a little extra support while working at standing height desks and tables. They're affordable and beneficial. Perch stools encourage continuous muscle movement without fully standing and putting a lot of pressure on your knees.
• Monitor Arms: You'll likely want to go with a dual screen monitor mount. It will cut down on the time you spend flipping between tabs. It will also reduce visual strain and neck pain by allowing you to raise your screens to eye level.
• Articulating Keyboard Trays: You might already have one of these. They're pretty standard. If you don't, you need to make the switch. An articulating keyboard tray will create more usable desk space while helping to encourage healthy typing angles.

3.) Comfortable Chairs

We've gave seating a section of its own in today's post because the importance of operational comfort is extremely important. If you're working comfortably, you'll be more productive and healthy. Selecting comfortable ergonomic office chairs for you and your workers will help to refine your interiors in a variety of ways.

4.) Fashionable Accents

They say the difference is in the details. We fully agree! If you want to refine your office interiors in 2018 you'll need to accent your space with area rugs, lighting fixtures, and complimentary decor that pulls your design theme together.

When you're ready to accent your office, don't be afraid to think outside the box. Consider visiting thrift stores, swap meets, and local shops as an alternative to big box retailers. You'll be able to find unique finds that really do wonders for your space. This season industrial metal fixtures, vintage area rugs, and mid century side tables have all been super popular.

5.) Fresh Paint

Before you new furniture and seating arrives, roll on a fresh coat of paint. It will help revive your vibe. Rest assured, old taupe walls will do little to pull your makeover together. When your space has been cleared, take a day to paint on a trendy color like coastal blue or yellow. These tones match nearly any furniture finish and will make your work environments feel vibrant. As a quick tip, use dark paint colors with light furniture and vice versa to create a fashionable contrast that feels professional.

Life In The Boardroom: Chairs, Tables, and Accessories That Will Improve Your Meetings

Enduring long boardroom meetings can be exhausting. Thankfully, today's best furniture and seating brands are hard at work crafting innovative new products designed to revive your meetings. The chairs, tables, and accessories available in 2018 will improve collaboration, comfort, and corporate appeal. Today on the blog we'll showcase a few of the hottest options to consider for your space.

Traditional loop arm boardroom chairs are being kicked to the curb in exchange for adjustable ergonomic seating solutions that encourage a healthier sitting experience.

If you opt for big executive style boardroom chairs, your table can become a bit overcrowded very quickly. Alternatively, euro style boardroom chairs like the Kinetic from Eurotech will help you encourage good posture and comfort without overpowering your furniture.

*European style boardroom chairs are ideal for short meetings and light use. They also provide exceptional value.

A sit to stand boardroom table will do wonders for your meetings. The ability to collaborate while standing will keep you guests active and engaged while simultaneously helping to fight back against the fatigue caused from extended gatherings. Popular ergonomic boardroom tables with adjustable surfaces like the Confluence from Safco are rapidly becoming the go to option for businesses looking to take their meetings to the next level.

*If you're going to invest in a sit to stand boardroom table, you'll likely want to consider adding a few perch stools. They'll provide added support without sacrificing the workplace activity you're looking to gain with your table. We recommend the Twixt or Mogo perch stools from Safco.
