OFFICE LAYOUT WITH THE BEST DESIGN

Office layout is the first step to an efficient workflow. Positioning teams and having equipment available to facilitate tasks is an important issue. If you want to work effectively, with good communication between employees to achieve an optimal product, you need to get the office layout right.

Having facilities adapted to the type of task is essential for employees to be able to perform at a good level. Attention must be paid to the layout of spaces because the set-up must fulfil several functions.

Firstly, it must be a comfortable, practical and appropriate environment. Secondly, it is important to have functional and healthy office furniture. Finally, the office layout must also include a decorative space adapted to the corporate image of the company.

At DESMON we have a lot of experience in the supply of office distribution material. Throughout our career we have equipped the interiors of modern offices and industrial buildings of large companies. We have also been involved in high traffic areas such as hospitals and airports.

All this has allowed us to see the importance of certain elements in the correct distribution of offices. With this article we would like to offer advice and recommendations for setting up work spaces that promote productivity and are comfortable.

In recent years,open-plan offices have established themselves as optimal workspaces. Walls have been eliminated and the number of offices reduced. Thus, the idea of open-plan space has been promoted. The result is office interiors with a modern and pleasant design. And, without a doubt, communication between employees is much more fluid. Finally, eye contact is continuous.

However, sometimes it is necessary to have accessories that facilitate a certain amount of privacy. Either because the work requires more concentration or because meetings require discretion. In this case, you can opt for a series of basic elements that facilitate the division of space. They are interesting options because they facilitate the distribution of offices without the need to resort to annoying, damp and almost eternal works.

Screens or office partitions can help us to gain that point of intimacy (always necessary), inside an office. It is possible to choose them in a wide variety of sizes. It is also easy to choose from different manufacturing materials. Transparent screens facilitate the installation of glass walls that enhance luminosity. Opaque panels include rock wool which makes them excellent thermal and acoustic insulators.

Do you want to create an open-plan, multifunctional workspace in your new workspace? We advise you to install mobile partition walls. These modular office partitions can be made to measure. They are easy to fit in any space. They can also be moved around the office depending on the area you want to achieve. It’s a simple way to set up limited spaces in a matter of seconds.

Being aesthetically beautiful and very economical, folden screens can be the ideal choice for modern office layouts. They are very easy to move from one place to another and can even be customised to perfectly match the office décor.

Of course, the correct placement of office furniture is essential in the distribution of office space. But before placing furniture it is important to pay attention to the floor and ceiling. This may seem a strange statement, but it is not.

Having a false ceiling will allow you to hide electrical installations and utilities such as water or gas. In addition, the tile system is very easy to install and has a great advantage. This is that it makes access much easier in the event of a breakdown. There is no need to cut through cement or plaster to repair a leak. It will be enough to lift the tile and access the point in question.

When it comes to flooring, modern office layouts are clearly in favour of raised access floors. In this case, the gap between the original floor and the raised floor can be used for all IT cabling and network connections. In this way, the connection cable can be pulled out to the employee’s desk at just the right point. As a result, cables on the floor that could cause tripping hazards are avoided. In this case, the tile can also be raised to gain access to the opening.

Office furniture deserves a special mention when it comes to office distribution. Undoubtedly, the correct choice and installation contribute to greater productivity and well-being of our workers. Therefore, before buying any office furniture, certain factors should be taken into account.

• As far as possible, office furniture should be adaptable to any space. We have already mentioned that open-plan office design is on the rise; therefore, L-shaped desks that can be shared are the norm. Similarly, lockers are essential for workers to store their personal belongings so that they do not have to leave them on shelves or tables.
• Choosing ergonomic chairs for all workers will help to increase their productivity and work efficiency. In fact, taking care of our employees’ health becomes a key point to keep them happy and content in the workplace.
• Meeting rooms should have a certain amount of privacy and equipment to provide explanations or references. For this reason, it is advisable to place whiteboards, fold-out screens for projections or audiovisual material in these spaces to help increase the flow of ideas and promote innovation.
• More informal chairs, armchairs, armchairs or even sofas should be placed in the rest areas. In these spaces the worker comes to “disconnect” from the daily task and it is important to promote comfort.

As far as lighting is concerned, the importance of natural light should be emphasised. As far as possible, have large windows where sunlight can enter any space. If this is not possible, think about the correct installation of artificial light and low consumption. The best option is to install LED lamps which, although they involve an initial cost, have a clear impact on energy and economic savings.

The last piece of advice we are going to offer you is that, when you are planning the layout of your office, you should put yourself in the hands of professionals. At DESMON, we can advise you on the most suitable type of furniture and the correct location. In this way, you will make the most of the light, optimise the space and facilitate the work of your employees.
