It is difficult to overestimate the role that the ideal workplace plays in the life of every person who is forced to spend a significant part of his time in the office. There are no trifles in this business, absolutely everything is important: the choice of furniture and organizers, household appliances and decorative elements, as well as heat and lighting. If you want to organize your space in the best way, a selection of our tips can be very useful to you. And colorful illustrations will inspire and help to visualize everything.
Walls, floor and ceiling
Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to make repairs in the office. But if you still have such powers, consider everything to the smallest detail.
Psychologists assure that the right color helps create the perfect workplace in the office. The description makes sense to start by parsing the least suitable options.
Too saturated and dark colors have a depressing effect on the psyche. They set up not for productive work, but for the desire to quickly leave the dull room and do some more interesting than work work. Far from all, dull faceless white walls will suit everyone. They evoke associations with hospital wards.
Give preference to “delicious” berry shades or delicate pastel shades. The ceiling must be lighter than the walls so that there is no oppressive overhang effect.
Well, as for the floor, there is only one requirement, and it is associated with quality. The coating should not be slippery or too corrugated. The floor should be comfortable walking in office shoes, and the legs or wheels of office furniture should never cling. The best choice may be a laminate from the 31st grade and above or an engineering board. Such coatings have high wear resistance, relatively low price, look aesthetically pleasing and modern.
Desktop selection
An ideal workplace cannot be imagined without a quality desk. We can safely say that this particular detail is the key.
Many companies do not discuss their preferences with employees and complete cabinets at their discretion. If you are more fortunate than most modern office workers, the choice of furniture should be taken seriously.
The table should be spacious enough. It should fit you in height. Constrained by the lack of space, the pose is unlikely to contribute to high productivity.
If you have to work not only with a computer and papers, but also with drawings, the option of adjusting the inclination of the countertop may become convenient.
The best chair for work
If you interview several working people sitting about what should be the ideal workplace, many of them will certainly be mentioned about a comfortable chair. On the modern market there is a huge variety of office furniture, among which you can easily find an option that is right for you.
Before buying, calculate whether you need armrests, whether they will interfere. The wheels are not convenient for everyone, however, if your office has several units of office equipment, this option can be very useful.
Cabinets and racks
If you plan to create a truly perfect workplace, you just can not do without furniture. It is unlikely to be possible to localize everything you need on the table. Take care of a convenient whatnot, shelving, chest of drawers. Auxiliary furniture should be in harmony with other elements of the business interior.
Table arrangement
Maintain cleanliness and harmony and help desk accessories.Take care of a convenient organizer in which you can place everything you need: stationery, small office equipment, stock of paper.
An ideal order at the workplace will help maintain modern office products: convenient folders for papers, folders, baskets.
In one of the drawers of the table you can organize a special box with dining accessories. Store a small waffle towel, a pack of napkins, a small salt shaker, a container with sugar, a cup, a spoon, a tea box in it. A set of disposable tableware will not be superfluous, because a cup can break at the most inopportune moment. Be sure to get a soap box there, because detergents in the toilet room may not end on time. But edible in the workplace is better not to store. An exception can be considered perhaps a pack of dietary bread.
Lighting
Professionals are convinced that this moment is extremely important. The best is natural light falling on the left. If possible, it is better to put a table to a window facing south or west.
The lack of light can be compensated for by lighting fixtures. To make your eyes less tired, choose lamps with yellow light, not white. He is not so tiring.
Climate
It is possible to maintain ideal working conditions with the help of modern technology. It's great if the room has air conditioning, in the summer heat, it can just save. Remember that you can not put the table under a stream of air, this can lead to colds.
If there is no air conditioning, and you have to work even in the heat, get a fan. By the way, if it’s cool in the cold season, you can save by buying a fan heater, which can be adjusted depending on the conditions for supplying cold or hot air.
Plants
Even the most ideal workplace in the office may not look cozy enough. Add a couple of ornamental plants and it will sparkle in a new way!
It is believed that the best choice is a cactus. Whether it actually absorbs any harmful radiation is a moot point. But one thing is clear: these plants are so unpretentious in care that you can cope with it even with the most busy schedules. Terrariums for flowers made in the form of balls or complex polygons look very stylish and modern.
Organization of the workplace at home
Today, remote work is becoming more common. If you equip your ideal workplace at home, and not in the office, it requires no less detailed study.
It is advisable to have a separate table and a comfortable chair for working at home. To organize work in the kitchen at the dining table is not a good idea. Even more inconvenient to work on the couch or in the chair. Many of those who work at home manage to organize an excellent space on the balcony, on the veranda or even in a large closet.
The need for your own cozy corner may arise for those who, like many others, work in the office, but have a hobby. If you are fond of needlework, a convenient desktop will help to realize all creative ideas. No less important are organizers and convenient containers for storing materials.
Coworking
This unusual word entered the Russian language quite recently, but the phenomenon itself has already become quite widespread. The popularity of coworking continues to grow. What is it?
People who are unable to organize a workspace at home or simply cannot concentrate surrounded by households, today have the opportunity to rent a comfortable table and chair in the premises of a company that provides coworking services. As a rule, payment is low, charged hourly, and the price includes not only space and a minimum set of furniture, but also a power outlet and Wi-Fi. A special business atmosphere, in which one does not want to be distracted, will also help to concentrate.
