We have rounded up some of the frequently asked questions when it comes to office design.
1. How do I stop my office designs becoming outdated?
Staff are more likely to be motivated to spent time in the workspace if it’s a modern, comfortable and inspiring environment. Ways in which you can prevent your office designs from becoming outdated are using a personal style, related to your business or avoiding jumping on every trend that may not necessarily work for your team / business.
2. How long does the design stage take?
The length of the office design stage depends on the size of the project and how quickly your team can feedback on the concepts presented. The faster the communication, the less time the whole process takes.
3. What is the best way to include our brand in the office design?
