Designers cannot always replicate natural sunlight indoors. However, the space can be uplifted with plants, which brings a natural element. Plants are proven to increase productivity and make workplaces more attractive, attracting more employees to the company. In addition to reducing stress, plants also help to clean and purify indoor air.

12) Rest/Lounge Area

A place to cheer you up and brainstorm for projects is just what the mind and body need. Rest areas can also encourage people to get up early for a cup of coffee and relax in the office before starting their workday.

Research shows that 93% of workers in the tech industry are more likely to stay at businesses that create spaces such as break rooms or “recharge” rooms for employees than those that don’t.

13) Noise Reduction Technology

Too much noise in an office can seriously reduce productivity and increase stress.

It reduces office noise by providing acoustic floors, acoustic wall panels, improved insulation, and control of background noise.

Sound can also be absorbed by a range of interesting materials, such as mobile lockers made of pressed felt, which can absorb sound at various frequencies. Noise-cancelling paint is a fairly easy way to attenuate mid-range sounds, although it’s not a complete soundproofing solution.

14) See Through Views For Employees

Entering an office with a window used to be a luxury for the few. Everyone else had to succumb to the dull artificial light and be locked inside all day. In modern office design, removing the correlation between job title rank and workspace quality creates a less mentally draining and more beautiful work environment. The new model upends the old model, placing top-of-the-line private offices at the centre of the floor plan. Translucent or transparent walls that enclose the central room allow light to enter their workspaces.

Using a drab interior can make a place appear larger than it is.

Not adding too much colour or complicated design patterns to a workstation is the best way to turn it into an elegant, relaxing space.

All white can also improve a person’s work experience, positively affecting their concentration, stress levels and mood. It helps to think of ideas out of the box because it doesn’t let the mind wander.

16) Black & White

While black can be used around all work equipment, white can be used to accentuate the same content and balance the mood of a room that would otherwise be largely drenched in white space. Use black and white to add depth and texture to any space.

17) Standing Desk

Employees can choose to stand up to work, or adjust their desks to be able to sit down. It helps them move around and stay active during the day, rather than sitting.

18) Encourage Well-Being

By implementing a gym in the office, employees can be relieved from work stress. Exercising at the gym releases the hormone norepinephrine. It reduces stress, boosts mood and improves brain function.

19) Roof Office

The purpose of wayfinding is to educate and inform visitors of their surroundings to help them become familiar with the features, amenities and functions of the space they are in.
