What are your office refurbishment goals?

Ultimately, a business’s office design will be an indication of a brand’s story, providing visitors or clients with a sense of what you’re all about. So, before you decide on an ideal aesthetic, think about why you’ve decided to embark on an office refurbishment in the first place. What’s the message you want to convey? What emotions and feelings do you want to evoke in employees when they come to work? Whether you’re going through a complete office rebrand, are upsising to make room for new members of staff, or are aiming to maximise productivity in the workplace, anything from the colour scheme you select to your furniture choices will all have an impact – so choose wisely.

Now onto the fun part. Take a look at some of our previous office refurbishment projects and get inspired, creating a mood board of all of your favourite ideas and furniture options. Maybe you’d like something fun and playful, similar to that of Ascentis, or perhaps you’re all about exposed urban brick and planters like Beyond. Once you’re clued up on your business’s aesthetic, you can use the ideas you’ve found to spark thoughts about your colour scheme. Energetic yellows and calming blues all affect mood, thanks to the rules of office colour psychology, but with so many shades and tones to choose from, where’s the best place to begin? Have a read of our guide to the best office colours for happy and productive staff to get started, so that you can inject some much needed energy back into your workplace. 

A smooth moving process

The process of moving out your office supplies and equipment can be a long, tedious job, so using an office relocation service will put your mind at ease. This will avoid risk of damage, keeping your furniture safe and secure whilst you focus your efforts on planning your office refurbishment. It also speeds up the process, allowing both you and your staff to carry on with business as usual without any distractions. Just make sure that you communicate this with your employees so that they are prepared for the big move, arranging an appropriate temporary working space if necessary.
