How many people work in this space?If you have many people to accommodate or particularly small area, a cluster arrangement or one of the more compact desk shapes will suit your needs. |
 |
What are the likely noise levels?If your office handles a high number of calls, generating higher noise levels, you should consider including desktop screens. This can help improve acoustics and give the workstation a bit more privacy. |
 |
What sort of work do you do there?If you need to spread out papers or plans on the desk, you'll need more desktop space than most. Consider a desk extension or radius end. |
 |
Are you sitting comfortably?We sit at our desks for many hours every working day so it's important to choose a chair that is fit for the purpose. See more chairs. |
 |
Do you need to meet with others?If you often work in small groups or have small informal meetings, it might be an idea to add a meeting table extension to the end of the desk or plan for a completely separate meeting table. |
 |
Where is the power coming from?If fully concealed wiring to each workstation isn't an option, consider including wire management accessories or pop up electrical sockets to minimise unsightly and trailing cables. |
 |
What do you need to store?Don't underestimate the storage space you need. Make sure you plan it into your design so that you can create an environment that will stay organised, efficient and clutter-free. Do you need filiing cabinets, bookcases for files or larger storage units? |
 |
How much natural light is there?If your office is a little on the dark side, choose light wood finishes, more open leg systems and cabinets with frosted doors rather than solid ones. All this will help create a softer look and a more spacious feel. |
