When it comes to office fit-outs, it’s important that the new and improved interior is going to stand the test of time. A revitalised office space not only makes your company look better, it can also have a significant positive impact on your staff; they’ll be more eager to come into work, their moods can be improved, and higher morale can be conducive to improved productivity. But how can you make your office interior stand out in 2019? ARC Business Interiors are going to tell you.

Biophilic Business

Incorporating plant life into your office can work wonders, and we don’t just mean the odd potted plant in the corners of a room. Biophilic design is very popular now, not just for its aesthetic qualities, but for the genuine health benefits it can provide for the staff who work around it. The use of elements of nature, be it plants, running water or other greenery, has been proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure and reduce heart rates, as well as increasing productivity and creativity.

There are plenty of ways to incorporate greenery into your office, such as living walls. These are structures that have greenery attached to them with built in soil, stone and often irrigation systems to keep the plants alive. The variety in these structures comes from the plants incorporated in them, as well as their size.

Colourful Spaces

Your office doesn’t need to be a festival of colour, but some splashes of it here and there make your space a lot more pleasant to be in. A brighter office makes people feel better, and it can make a room seem larger, too. If your office colour scheme is more on the neutral side, consider adding a few flashes of colour in the form of bright furniture, accessories or wall art to bring a bit more life to your workplace.

Suspended Ceilings

Of all the areas of an office, ceilings aren’t exactly the first to spring to mind when we think of renovations and interior design. However, in 2019, suspended ceilings are helping to make this oft-forgotten aspect of a room a focal point of design. Suspended ceilings can be designed in any which way you desire, even incorporating the aforementioned biophilic compositions. There’s no better way to combine lighting with innovative decor, and the right suspended ceiling can really set the tone for a space.

Workers’ Wellbeing

The happiness and wellbeing of staff should be of paramount importance to any business, and the workspace you’re in, which your staff spend hours every day, can play a significant part in their mood and their job satisfaction. When it comes to office renovation, particularly large offices, you can make use of available space to create areas for staff to separate themselves from the stress of work.

Breakout rooms – These spaces work brilliantly for people who want a little time away from their desks, whether that’s to do some solo work or to simply relax for a short while during their lunch break or an interlude in a busy day.

Creative areas – Of course, staff will have areas where they spend the majority of their time doing work, like their desks. However, in order to spark a little imagination, it can help to have new surroundings to work in. That’s why creative spaces work well; beanbags and armchairs for laptop-based work, for example.

Every year brings new trends with it, and 2019 is no different.
