Office Space, Furnishing an Office Space |
The options in choosing furnishings for an office space are as numerous as deciding the floor plan for an office space. Will the office space require desks, tables, chairs, computers, or something entirely different. So what will determine the type of furniture necessary for the office space?
The first thing that needs to be considered is what the office space will be used for. If it will be used for data entry or other tasks involving a computer, the desk may need to be a little larger then a desk meant strictly to answer phones and take messages. If a desk is needed to accommodate a computer, the question is whether it will need an entire work station to perform other tasks in addition to computing tasks, or a small desk just for the computer. If the desk is going to be meant only for the computer, will the office space also need filing space? There are desks that include both small table space and filing cabinets all in one. Another thing to take into consideration is whether the computers will be full-sized desktops or laptops. Using laptops will minimize necessary work space and give the ability for portable work stations.
The next thing to think about are chairs. The number of people in the office space will determine the number of chairs needed, so there should be no question as to how many. The question is what kind. Some chairs have high backs, some have low backs. Some roll, others don’t. It is simply a matter of preference for most companies. While ergonomically, the best type of chair for someone sitting in an office space for long periods of time is one that adjusts to that person’s body, the other attributes are based on aesthetics and preferences. Some chairs are very adjustable, allowing the user to adjust height, recline of the chair back, and recline of the seat chair. Others can only be adjusted for height of the user.
Finally, let’s talk about reception furniture. An office space that generally receives only one or two customers at a time may need no more then two chairs and an end table in the reception area. In contrast, a company that receives a dozen or more customers at a time may need many more chairs and tables. Chairs in a reception area need not be adjustable. If the office space will not be receiving customers at all, then there is no need for furniture in addition to an employee work area. If it is a new company, estimate the number of customers expected to be in the office space at any one time. Remember, more furniture can always be added later as the number of customers increase.
In conclusion, making a decision on office space furniture can be overwhelming. Between desks and workstations, low-back and high-back chairs, the possibilities are endless. Knowing the type of work performed, and what the office space will be used for can narrow the possibilities. |
