For coworking spaces and entrepreneurs, having an attractive and inviting office space to show potential clients is as important as having a great location and looking like you know what you’re doing. Even if you don’t have the budget to outfit your office with top-of-the-line furniture, it’s easy to add some flair and put together an inviting workspace without breaking the bank. Here are some tips and ideas to help design your coworking office furniture in style.
The Essentials
- Start with a plan. Sketch out your office space, furniture, and equipment need to get a general idea of what you want to buy, where everything will go, and how it will all work together. This can help you make sure that the items you purchase are compatible with each other. For instance, desks should be able to fit in the cubicles or open floor plan you’ve sketched out.
- Think about budget constraints. Many office furniture pieces need to last for many years, which means they often cost a lot up front. Consider looking for quality used office furniture instead of new items if you’re on a tight budget.
Color and Style
Many people don’t know that the colors you select for your coworking office furniture can have a significant effect on how people feel in the space. For example, warmer colors such as reds and oranges may promote feelings of warmth and comfort. On the other hand, cool colors such as blues or greens are thought to create feelings of calmness.
Space Saving Solutions
The first step in designing your office is to determine what you need for the space. Start by looking at your company’s needs, and then move on to figuring out how much space you have to work with, what furniture will fit into that space, and how much money you want to spend on all of it.
Ways to Save Money
-Ask around your network for people who want to buy an office desk or chair. If they do, you can offer them a discounted price if you are willing to let it go in exchange for the purchase of their furniture. This will allow you to save money on buying new furniture while getting what you need.
-Consider buying used furniture, which will not only be cheaper than buying new furniture but also help reduce waste that goes into landfills.
