Inventive Ways to Break Up Office Space

Open office plans are a cost-effective way to increase productivity, happiness, and efficiency in your employees. However, businesses risk their teams getting stressed and distracted by noise. To avoid that, breaking up the office space is a great option. Interior Fusion has compiled inventive ways to break up office space and ensure your employees are happy.

Glass

Glass can be used to partition an office area or meeting room, as well as add elegance to the office. It divides the office while still maintaining an open, modern look. Plus, the natural light it offers will make your employees more comfortable and energized to get work done. If you would like some more privacy, you can procure glass that is opaque or acoustically cushioned to block out eyes and ears.

Furniture

Furniture is a simple and practical way to divide the workspace. By grouping furniture together in room-like arrangements, you create multiple spaces in one large area. Interior Fusion suggests taller furniture, such as couches, stacking cubes, and bookshelves, that offer seating and privacy. To help differentiate the spaces, even more, try color-coding the areas. This shows employees what area the kitchen, conference room, etc., is.

Open Shelving

A room divider helps organize the workspace without eliminating the open concept you started with, and a good one to go with is open shelving. Open shelving offers storage, privacy, and the ability to display objects of interest. As they are also continuous, you can add or detract as your office shifts, providing a great amount of flexibility. This is a great option for your employees, as they can add a touch of uniqueness and creativity to their workspace through what they display.

Planters

Add a touch of green to your office space with planters! Cost-effective and beautiful, planters break up the area while improving the office’s air quality. Be sure to buy tall planters to serve as a visual barrier so they can remove distractions in the office. Although it might be difficult to maintain these plants, work with an interior designer like Interior Fusion to choose planters that meet your needs while also being low-maintenance.

Seating Booths

Looking for semi-private seating spaces? Consider seating booths or other furniture with high backs. This will help reduce distractions and present an enclosed space. If you go with seating booths, your employees will enjoy a meeting space that accommodates a meeting table, a large monitor, and more. Seating booths should be considered when breaking up the office space.

Open office spaces are here to stay and offer a variety of benefits, with a few important negatives. Avoid them by breaking up the office space in inventive and cost-effective ways.
