How interior design impacts workflow in a shared office space business

Have you ever walked into an office and felt instantly motivated? Or the opposite – drained just by the sight of the workspace? Well, there’s a reason for that. However, the design of a shared office space business is more than just a backdrop to your daily grind; it’s a key player in shaping your team’s productivity, focus, and overall workflow. And who better to illustrate this than Squab Workspace, with our superbly designed facilities in convenient locations like Leamington Spa, Evesham, Rubery, and Stowmarket?

 

The Impact of Design on Your Shared Office Space Business

1. Comfort Equals Productivity

Let’s talk comfort, shall we? Imagine sitting in a chair that feels like it was made for you or a desk that’s just the right height. That’s ergonomics for you – it reduces strain and literally sets you up for success. In shared spaces, where you’ve got a diverse bunch working together, having adjustable furniture isn’t just nice; it’s essential.

2. Layouts that Lead to Focus

Open-plan offices are all the rage, but let’s face it – they can get noisy. Integrating quiet zones or soundproof booths can be a game-changer for those times when your team really needs to buckle down and focus.

3. Spontaneous Collaboration? 

Ever had a brilliant idea while grabbing a coffee? Shared office spaces should have areas that encourage these spontaneous interactions. Think comfy sofas inviting colours – spaces that beckon you to sit down and have a chat that could lead to the next big idea.

4. Let There Be Light (and Productivity)

Never underestimate the power of good lighting. Natural light can uplift the mood and boost energy levels, making it a priceless feature in any workspace. And for those gloomy days or late nights, having the right artificial lighting can make all the difference.

 

Tips to Make the Most of Your Shared Space

1. Flexibility is Key – The Shape-Shifting Office

Imagine an office space that morphs to meet your needs – that’s the power of flexibility in design. Modular furniture is just the start. How about desks that convert into standing workstations at the push of a button? Or movable walls that not only divide spaces but also double as whiteboards or projection screens? In a shared office, adaptability isn’t just a feature; it’s a necessity. It’s about creating a space that’s as fluid and dynamic as the work your team is doing. Picture a layout that changes with your projects – today, it’s a collaborative hub, and tomorrow, it’s individual work pods. That’s the future of workspaces, and it’s exciting!

2. Tech-savvy Spaces – The Digital Haven

In this age of digital dominance, a workspace without tech integration is like a car without wheels. But let’s go beyond the basics. Imagine an office where the lighting adjusts automatically based on the time of day or the mood you want to set. Think of interactive touch screens for brainstorming, virtual reality spaces for immersive presentations, and AI assistants that help manage your day-to-day tasks. We’re talking about a space where technology isn’t just a part of the furniture; it’s an integral part of the workflow, enhancing productivity and creativity in ways you never thought possible.

3. Functional and Fabulous – The Creative Oasis

Sure, a workspace needs to be functional, but who says it can’t be a work of art, too? Let’s throw in some bold colours, quirky furniture, and inspiring artwork. How about a graffiti wall for those sudden bursts of inspiration? Or a Zen garden corner for when you need a moment of peace? It’s about creating a space that doesn’t just serve a purpose but tells a story. A space where your team doesn’t just come to work; they come to be inspired, to connect, and to create. A place that’s not just an office but a destination.

4. Wellness at the Workplace – The Sanctuary of Productivity

Wellness in the workplace is about more than just ergonomic chairs (although they are important!). It’s about creating an environment that nurtures not just the mind but the body and soul, too. Imagine a workspace with a meditation room offering guided sessions to help your team de-stress. Or a mini gym for a quick workout between meetings. How about a ‘quiet room’ filled with plants, soft lighting, and comfortable lounging spaces for a quick power nap or just some time to unwind? It’s about understanding that a healthy team is a happy team, and a happy team is an unstoppable force.
