When the choice of new or upgrading furniture for your office usually falls to an individual with outdated ideas, how can you influence the holder of the office and furniture budget to change to a new and more modern contemporary office furniture design and selection?
The Impression Your Office Provides
Once you have been allocated time to present your suggestions, it may be better to align your proposals with that of your organization. Should you select contemporary office furniture to match the company’s image and branding? Only a real traditionalist will expect to win this argument by convincing others of the need to keep old-style furniture.
How you wish to be seen by others can be shown in your selection of office desks and chairs. When visitors see a wonderful collection of contemporary office furniture, they will picture the company as modern in its outlook, technology and forward-thinking.
Select Furniture Before Redesigning the Office
By choosing comfortable and functional furniture first, it is easier to provide an adaptable and flexible office setting, before deciding how to finish your walls, ceiling and floors. Depending upon the size of your budget and your decision about making changes all at once or over time, you may seek outside advice from design specialists who have a wide range of experience in matching your requirements.
You should not be concerned about offering your suggestions as it is more than likely that other employees have been sharing similar thoughts. When your working conditions have become difficult and the chairs, no longer comfortable, an assessment of what is viable and matching the brand you wish to present to employees, customers and visitors, is important for a fully functioning office.
Selecting the design of your furniture is separate from choosing the fabrics. You will need to consider the potential wear and tear and the amount of use that will be attributable to each piece of furniture. During this transition period, selecting materials that are easy to clean, yet look and feel impressive, will keep employees at work and increase productivity.
