Office design trends

Below are 10 of the most important office design trends of 2016.

1. 1. Modular spaces

As offices are more frequently being combined and put into shared spaces, modular areas are being used to keep things interesting. Small spaces that can be changed around give you the chance to reinvent what’s around you.

2. 2. Tiny meeting rooms

Spaces small enough for a meeting between just two people. This allows one-on-one collaboration – something that is often overlooked by typical work environments.

3. 3. Health spaces

Keeping your workers physically active is as important to their productivity as anything else. The couple of minutes it takes for a game of Foosball (or rock climbing!) will be returned by the value of re-invigoration.

4. 4. Calming rooms

Often in the form of meditation rooms – these are sanctuaries where workers can go, disconnect, and reset their minds.

5. 5. Vertical gardens

Being around fresh air and plants is a luxury that we often forget. Offices spaces with vertical gardens feel fresh and healthy. They also give workers a task that they can mix with their daily routine.

6. 6. Unusual locations

Why not work somewhere interesting, rather than a block of offices in a city? Technology is allowing offices to pop up in unusual places.

The biggest of all recent trends, standing desks are better for your health and your attention.
