Conventional workplaces are increasingly being phased out and replaced with collaborative spaces to encourage innovation, motivation and productivity. 2018 will see this movement continue with some really creative trends developing.
Here, we go through some of the key workplace design trends you can expect to flood through in the new year and how we can help you to achieve their en-vogue looks.
Companies worldwide are renovating their offices in favour of unconventional spaces, stripping away cubicles for more open-plan workspaces which bring colleagues together. These spaces can be anything from a living room, breakout areas or casual meeting rooms with bean bags, plants and greenery – the idea being that these spaces are home-like and calming environments. If this sounds like something you’d like to do in the new year, how about using fabric graphics to add a soft touch to walls, helping to create a more homely and welcoming feel to your office? Pair this with a few comfy couches and you’ll be set.
It is predicted that in 2018 companies will be choosing colours based on how they make them feel. If this sounds like something you fancy, but you resent getting the painter and decorators in, how about adding some colourful wall graphics to your office? They’ll be fitted in a matter of hours, with no strong paint smells or inconvenience. Plus, we have a vast array of different graphics that can be applied onto a variety of surfaces to create fantastic effect – from designs, patterns and even photographs, wall graphics have no limit, and can create a more impressive effect.
2018 will see the abolition of boxed-in office spaces and a freer flowing, changeable environment. We’re talking moveable desks, no partitions, and the option to sit where you like. The idea is that employees will find a space and a way to work that works best for them, helping them to work more efficiently and productively. Our wayfinding floor graphics would be the perfect addition to a creatively designed office space. Marking out designated areas for working, eating and relaxing, as well as acting as a map of the office for larger spaces.
