With the changing definition of workplace where formal rules of work are fast dissolving regardless of where and how we are working, interior design is sneaking into picture making it increasingly vital for enhanced productivity of employees and creating a pleasant office environment. Interior design of the office reflects what the business is about and ensures efficiency of the workplace.

Employees spend a large part of their day in the office and therefore to make them feel a sense of belonging towards their organization, along with other factors, it is crucial today to create a space for them that is visually appealing, inviting, comfortable as well as functional. Is that too much to ask for? Well, wait till we explore a little more. Office interior design is said to affect people’s moods, attitudes, drives and inspiration thus making them more creative at work. With a great design and functionality at work, workplace automatically becomes a place where employees want to come and not a place where they have to come out of compulsion. Do you then see how the design of your workplace could actually be impacting the retention of your staff?

Off late, upholstered wall panels, acoustic ceiling panels, overhauled meeting rooms and casual spaces in the workplace are becoming interesting trend in office interior design. However, general rules no longer work for every business. Each business has a different winning formulae and what might work for one company may not work for another company. We at Ghardesigner understand your winning formula and provide design solutions according to what would add best value to your business.

From a customer centric view, your office design ideally sets a tone for your business hence telling a story about your brand. It also is a direct reflection of who you are as the owner of the company. This is prominently visible to your customers thus creating an everlasting impression of your workplace. A building space that is conducive to the customers is no longer considered luxury, it has become a necessity. Imagine walking into an office that is cluttered, outdated and poorly designed. Wouldn’t you receive a message from such an office design shouting that the company would also be outdated?

Office interior design not only creates an impression but also coveys the type of business that it is in. Let’s take for instance, a CA’s firm, maybe, would have a more sophisticated and professional appearance with light or dark colours while a web designer or graphic designer’s office would have a more fun, creative and bright coloured appearance. This is the most important factor to keep in mind while designing the office interior space because it would translate into the impression and experience we were talking about earlier.

Offices of the 21^st century have core elements like –

• Flexibility – Office spaces, in the last decade, have become more flexible which means employees are now no longer assigned desks at which they would keep sitting all day long. They are now expected to move around like they would do in their living rooms. Therefore, assigned desk structure is fast transforming into living space structure in the workplace allowing employees to move better to meet their needs.
• Collaborative Furniture – Teamwork is the most essential aspect of any company. And, collaborative furniture allows employees to gather and communicate to exchange ideas thereby supporting teamwork. It enhances the creativity of the employees and allows a perfect set up for brainstorming solutions for business problems. It also adds an element of style to the workplace and allows playing around with the design of the workspace.
• Tech Integration – Technology plays a vital role in the 21^st century offices. Today, no business is possible without technology and therefore, a proper tech set up is the core of any business. Anything that is necessary to facilitate smart working is a must in modern offices. From AI enabled technology to wireless charging stations, all things that make work faster and more efficient is the need of the hour in designing the office interior.
• Experience Driven Spaces – Meditation areas, coffee bars, gyms, gaming zones, etc are fast making its way into the workplace giving employees an experience like never before. This not only is found to boost the morale of the employees but also increases the productivity dramatically. These additions relieve stress and build a sense of community among employees. Though it is not easy to design an office space that focuses on experience, but well, the effort is extremely rewarding for the business.
• Employee Wellbeing – We all know that happy and healthy employees add the maximum value to the business. They always are more productive than their opposite counterparts. Keeping this in mind, designers today are busy creating office spaces that give employees a sense of comfort and a homely feeling. Employee absenteeism rate is seen to dip drastically in workplaces that are concerned about the wellbeing of their employees. Healthier workplaces also have a positive impact on the financial bottom line.
