Making Every Square Inch Count – Pt II

In the post-pandemic landscape, much has changed, not least the size of office spaces. Apart from costs, there are various benefits to downsizing an organisation’s square footage, especially when it comes to reducing its carbon footprint. But that does not mean companies are now operating out of glorified cubicles but rather making smarter use of available floor space.

In the previous article, various tips were shared on how to make a smaller office look bigger. Here are a few more:

Let There be Light
Avoid dimly-lit spaces as this can make offices look like darkened caves. Try to have as much natural sunlight streaming through the office to give off a wide, open feel. If this is not possible, use the brightest available lighting to create a similar illusion.

Done With Mirrors
The age-old trick of using mirrors tate the illusion of space is highly effective. An office can be made to look much larger with strategically placed mirrors, which can also enhance lighting and brightness of the working environment. This is a highly cost-effective measure that has been tried and tested. Just see all the tiny clothing boutique stores that have strategically placed mirrors to make them look and feel much larger than they actually a4024024402re.

Less Is More
It’s not just the blues where this rule is effective. Minimizing decorations can make an office look aesthetically pleasing rather than resembling a cluttered mess. Offices can be made to feel less cramped when the décor is chosen wisely. Hint – procuring the services of a professional interior designer may be worthwhile.

Clear the Floor
This may be deceptively simple but keeping floor areas clear of junk and unwanted clutter can have a dramatic effect on the way an office is viewed. Not only will an office look to have larger floor space but a neat and tidy work environment will give the right impressions.

Clutter-Free Environment
Don’t just clear floor space of clutter but the entire office should be swept clean of all manner of unwanted flotsam and jetsam. Avoid having over flowing cabinets and files lining wall space to give theoffice a clean and streamlined look. This will showcase actual décor of the office rather than drawing attention to spots of untidiness.
