Selection of office furniture is an important question, and it should be approached with special attention, because you need not only to comfortably place the workplaces of employees, but also to make sure that the office is not oversaturated with furniture, and there is no feeling of a crowded hive.
It should abandon the overall decor items in the interior. give preference to light, light shades, as they will visually expand the interior, unload it. The question of the functionality of office furniture comes to the fore. It should not take up much space, but in terms of its functionality it could perform several useful functions. Furniture transformers will be relevant, for example, for a negotiation table that has sliding elements will be indispensable.
To enhance the functionality of a small office, you should use the reception of the combined spaces, or the use of one room for several purposes. The recreation area is usually combined with a kitchen or waiting area. For negotiations, you can not allocate a separate room, just place the transforming table in the working room, and separate it with furniture, such as shelves or office cabinets or other mobile partitions.
Office desk is the most important element for work.
This furniture really plays a huge role in the work process. Choosing a table, you need to consider what type of work will be performed. For a small office, you need to choose the most ergonomic models of tables that will not take up too much space, and will give you the opportunity to work with comfort.
If only a computer or laptop is needed for work, then a compact office desk will be the best choice. If you have to work with documents, then a good option would be a corner table, or a table with add-ins.

Mobile cabinets with multiple drawers will be very useful. They can store documents and other office stuff, and if necessary, move it to any convenient place. For office equipment and equipment, it is better to use low pedestals-pedestals with open shelves or drawers, which will be useful as additional storage systems.

Partitions can be equipped with shelves, boxes or lockers, and this will allow even more efficient use of office space, as well as increase the efficiency of the workplace.
In a small office, cabinets can be used as partitions. The cabinet should be tall but compact. Spaciousness is achieved just at the expense of height, it should be about two meters. This of course will “complicate life” for employees of short stature, but such cabinets will be as practical as possible.
As partitions you can also use racks or so-called smart boxes, that is, cubes of the same size, which can be arranged in different ways.
Nowhere without a rest area
As he said, Richard Branson, an acquaintance to many,: “To work productively, you need to rest no less productively.” Therefore, in every office, even a small one, there should be a recreation area. Massive sofas in a small office – moveton, so it is better to give preference to small tables and chairs or frameless furniture. The chair bag will not take up much space, you can move it anywhere, and rest on it is not worse than on a large sofa.
