Designing a modern office space

We’re moving away from the cubicles and designing office spaces that are designed for business but feel like home. No matter your style, making sustainable choices that are good for the planet as well as your employees isn’t going to go out of style anytime soon.

Using green building materials

Sustainability is the biggest interior design trend, not just for the office, but for life. Not only is being environmentally responsible a great sales point for your business, helping you attract great employees, but a green office environment is also going to provide a healthier environment for you and your team. Going green is great for your health and your business. Think about using reclaimed or sustainably sourced materials from beautiful hardwood flooring to cabinets and office furniture. You can make a statement from top to bottom by making sustainable interior design choices.

Design to promote work-life balance

The line between work and play has been blurred. In some places, the line doesn’t even exist. People, especially the younger generations, will appreciate a work environment that will make the office feel like a home away from home. Don’t be afraid to get creative with workspaces, as well as create break rooms and kitchen areas that encourage your employees to work hard and play hard. For example, hardwood flooring can give the modern office a touch of warmth and comfort to make the office feel like home.
