How can I decorate my small office?

1. Adjustable desks

Ergonomic office work is important for optimal health and well-being. Alternating between sitting and standing during work hours is recommended to promote a better posture. In a small office, however, accommodating both sitting and standing tables can be challenging due to limited room. Adjustable desks provide a practical solution. An adjustable desk optimises space efficiency and ensures a comfortable and productive work environment. Don’t forget to look also for an adjustable office chair.

2. Phone booth

A meeting on one side and a conversation on the other side. A small office can quickly become noisy with distractions. Soundproof phone booths are the solution to a designated area for calls, meetings, or focused work. The minimalist and timeless design serves as a functional necessity and a stylish addition to a small office decor. With a phone booth, you improve productivity.

3. Acoustic desk dividers

Acoustic desk dividers offer a smart solution for small office spaces with little or no privacy for solo working. They provide a distraction-free zone due to the acoustic functionality that absorbs ambient noise. Even in the smallest rooms. In addition, dividers give your office a high-quality, professional look.

4. Vertical garden

Plants provide more oxygen and better humidity in a room. They have a positive effect on your productivity. That is the reason why you see plants in many offices. Would you also like to have some greenery in your small office? Choose a vertical garden, so the plants do not take up floor space. A vertical garden is a stylish solution with the benefits that nature brings.

5. Video conferencing soundbar

Are you looking for a smart solution for your online meetings? A video conferencing soundbar is a good option. This compact unit provides powerful sound and high-definition video seamlessly. The slim design makes it easy to place the soundbar in a tiny space. Plus, with its all-in-one functionality, there’s no need to buy cameras, microphones, or speakers separately.

6. Wireless office supplies

A modern office space thrives on flexibility. You no longer sit at a fixed desk or work externally. Wireless office supplies are perfect for flexible working. They also save space, something you need in a small office. Choose, for example, wireless keyboards, mice, and chargers to enhance convenience and adaptability. There are even wireless lamps available to optimise the functionality and aesthetics of your office environment.

7. Full-length curtains

Do you want to make your small office look visually bigger? Full-length curtains are the solution. Choose curtains that touch the ceiling and floor. This will make the space appear much larger than it is. Moreover, beautiful curtains give the place a cosy character.

8. Translucent furniture

Did you know that translucent furniture gives an airy feel to a room? Besides being able to see through it yourself, it also lets light through. This makes the room appear larger than it is. Choose, for example, a translucent desk, chair, or coffee table. But be careful, don’t buy only transparent furniture. Alternate them with different materials for an interesting interior.

Good lighting is essential for being productive. Especially when you are working at the desk. Desk or floor lamps are practical, but have you ever considered automatic wall or ceiling lights? Both lights save floor and desk space and add a cosy atmosphere to a small office. They turn on automatically when someone in the room moves.

10. Mobile interactive display

A whiteboard is still a useful tool for brainstorming with your team or visualising a topic for a client. Are you looking for a more modern option? A mobile interactive display is a smart move. A mobile interactive whiteboard combines the functionality of a traditional whiteboard with a computer. Don’t you have enough space or don’t always need the whiteboard? It is just as easy to find an external room nearby with it. Go to Wezoo, select the Interactive Display filter and you see immediately which rooms offer it.

11. Light wall colours

Light colours create a visually more spacious effect because they reflect the natural light out of the window in the room. Paint the walls of the office a light colour and complement the room with playful, eye-catching or minimalistic furniture. You do not have to choose white walls. Light shades such as cream, beige, light blue or light green are also suitable.

12. Multifunctional furniture

Every office has some basic furniture, like desks, storage cabinets and chairs. These furniture items can overcrowd a small office when you have them in multiples. With multifunctional furniture, you solve this problem. For example, buy a built-in desk with storage space. Or order a compartmentalised bookcase with floating shelves that also serves as a room divider. You create a functional and organised workplace without compromising on necessities.

Do you want to divide a small space into two or more separate rooms? For example, for a dedicated space to work and host meetings? Install a glass partition wall. A glass wall keeps the place feeling open and spacious. Do you need more privacy? Consider an external meeting room. At Wezoo’s marketplace, you can easily filter by Privacy. It means that the space isn’t visible from the outside, giving you more privacy.

14. Less is more

Our final tip: less is more. You have a small office, which means you can’t fit that many things. Try not to add too many decorations or furniture in the compact space. Too many products make the place feel stuffy and it negatively impacts productivity. Rather choose a few beautiful items and keep the basics calm and clear.
