5 Essential Office Furniture For New Startup Companies.

Your office is more than just a space for you and your employees to meet and work, it should represent your brand values and also inspire in your staff the right values that you want them to direct to their work for the company. A lot of times, we put in less thought into creating a conducive office space than we do into decorating our homes when most people spend more time in the office than they do at home.

Putting this in mind, there are so many pieces that will have to go into creating the right office space. While some companies can get every luxury they need when they start-up, most startup businesses have budgetary constraints. Whatever the case, there are certain essential office furniture that new startup companies need to acquire to create the right office environment. In this article, we are going to share a list of 5 essential office furniture for new startup companies to help you create the right office space.

Chairs And Desks

This is literally, a no-brainer. One of the first essential office furniture for new startup companies is the desks and chairs; this furniture will probably never go away; no matter how much dynamism modern office concepts experience. Employees will always need chairs and desks, especially if they are not field agents but work permanently in the office. However, getting any kind of desk and chair will not cut it, not if you want to get the best out of your employees. You have to consider comfort and ergonomics in mind. Find furniture that is built for comfort because your staff are likely to sit on it for approximately 7-8 hours a day, 5 days a week or more. Ergonomics, on the other hand, means finding adjustable furniture to fit individual height, pitch, headrest, backrest mobility, and stability.

Guest Chairs 

If you are going to have clients or other visitors coming into your office, you should create a visitor’s area that can serve as a waiting room for guests as well as a space to meet with clients. A few armchairs or maybe a couch will serve. Upholstered chairs, especially, are a good choice for guest chairs because not only are they comfortable, but they are also decorative. They can add to the interior design of your office space.

Conference Furniture

A communal workspace is an essential part of any office; this is where staff meetings, employee brainstorming sections and even meetings with clients will hold. For the conference room or rooms – depending on your office space and budget – you need a conference table with ample legroom and ample chairs for a group. It is advisable to get mobile chairs, so people can roll in and out comfortably.

Storage Space

Although a lot of companies are moving from storing files on paper to storing them online, some files might need to be saved on paper. And you need ample storage space for that. To avoid cluttering the office space, you can make the storage space hidden instead of obvious to everybody that steps into the office. The storage space might be individually as well as collectively, depending on the set up of the company and the business.

Relaxation Area

Thankfully, modern companies are beginning to understand the importance of a casual space for the employees to take a break when it is necessary because breaks are essential for productivity. Remember that it is supposed to be casual, so decorate the space with bright colours and get upholstered couches and chairs, TV, and other pieces that will make the space casual and relaxing.

In conclusion, remember that as a startup, you need all hands on deck to create the business of your dreams, so invest in providing your employees with the office space that will spur productivity.
