Colourboards are an easy way to visualize the final look of an office by putting together different colours and finishes to see what looks great in an area.

A colour board also helps you to understand how different elements like style, lighting, and direction of a room will impact different colour tones, textures and finishes when put together.
When starting a new project it’s always good to discuss with your client the colours that they would like to see in their office.
Keeping their needs and choices in mind use colour tones that are acceptable to all and not offending to anyone. This rule is of utmost importance if you are designing a cooperate environment. You want the colour scheme to be a pleasant experience for everyone working in that office.

If a project requires more than just new furniture it’s best to create two or more colour boards showing warm, cool and neutral colour schemes and finishes so that the client has a variety to choose from.
Start with choosing a presentation board which is big enough to hold all the samples and finishes that you want to present to the client. Choose a contrasting colour so that the samples pop out on the board.
Start positioning all the samples and finishes by putting the wall paint at the very top then fabric pieces for drapes (if any) then furniture laminates and finally the carpet to give an effect of how things will look when put together.

Use tape around the presentation board to get a neat and perfect border.
Make sure you leave space and align the samples properly before you glue them. Use different kinds of glues like cement glue, hot gun and even tape depending on the texture of the samples.
It’s wise to position the samples in different ways just to see how they look and what look and size is best before gluing them permanently. Make sure that the presentation board is on a straight surface before starting your work.

Add different colours, textures and fabrics if possible which appeals the eyes. But, don’t over do or completely cover the board. Print out neat and clear labels showing the sample names, series and the supplier. Add your business card and the office layout if available on the colour board…. voila!!

Leave the board to dry over night, its best if you put some weight on the heavy pieces or tile samples so that they stick well to the board.

Remember the more the appealing the colour boards is the more chances are that it will catch your client’s eye and possibly lead to a project well done.

Many clients come to us asking us to design their offices. They give us a few words such as “make it look good” or “modern”. Those words can mean a lot of different things to different people, so we are left with a lot of room to figure out what they really want! When I go in to design an office I look at the following things to determine what they mean by the above because what is good and modern for one usually is totally different to the next. First, I always check to see the current conditions of their office. Do they have workstations? Do they have good lighting? Do they have leather chairs or fabric? What is the atmosphere of the office … friendly and open, or private and quiet? This usually gives me the clues to what “good” and “modern” means to them.

There are two distinct and basic ways to go when designing an office. Once I have spent a little time observing, I lean towards one or the other.

1) Contrasting Bold – Outstanding – Colorful, Dynamic with lots of interest and focal points. You can usually judge the general atmosphere of the office by these same traits. If your office has a lot of bold thinkers, colorful and dynamic personalities who are encouraged to let their talents loose and come forward … you would probably be happiest with a contrasting style of type of office design. This shows you are out of the norm, and stand alone on your own merits. You want to show your individualism and like your staff to express their ideas. You seek flare and creativity in your business as well as encouraging your staff to do the same. In terms of style and company image, your concern is not about getting the most for your money or for the long term; you want to show you are in the here and now and understand what is happening in the world today. Although you plan for tomorrow, you focus on today. You are a risk taker in general, and like to be on the edge.

Your best look would be contrasting – Colors to use would be reds, navies, chocolate browns, blacks and white with lots of accents, feature walls and unique furniture designs. Open concepts with lots of low partitions and glass.

2) Blending Muted – Peaceful – Stable – Professional – traditional with limited accents or outstanding features. If you like to have your office maintain a certain degree of privacy with a focus on stability and professionalism, you are probably better to use a blending design that stays in a safe creative zone. Blending allows you to portray an image of professionalism focusing on showing that you use your business dollars wisely and that you gravitate towards longevity versus here and now. Your image is built on managing your money and staff wisely. You are not so concerned about having a trendy updated image … but like to focus on the future as a long term investment instead.

Your best look would be blending – Taupe, gray, eggplant, cream and muted colors such as blues, browns and caramel would work best for you.

How to organize small office space – Commercial Design Control Inc.

Things can easily clutter around you when you have a limited office space. The next thing you know you are ready to abandon your workplace because there is no space for you to sit. If you are one of those space challenged people then keeping a few tips in mind while working in a small office can maximize the space and you would like to work there more often.
Free Yourself: Look around and see what is it that you really need in your office and what you can live without. We all know that the computer, desk and chair stays; but what about the stack of files or the extra office equipment around you. Do you really need a separate scanner, fax, copier and printer? Why not get rid of all and get a 4 in 1 machine that serves the purpose. What about the extra bookshelf or file tray on your desk? Do you really need it?? Most of the information these days can be scanned or saved digitally or on the computer. This saves space by not having too much paperwork around you eliminating the need for extra filing cabinets. But if you still need some storage invest in functional storage or store items vertically. But, first you need to figure out what you really need in your office.

Off the Wall: What about the old notices on the bulletin board; are those policies still in place? Didn’t Sue cancel that meeting schedule last month which is still hanging on your board? You’ll be amazed how much difference it makes when you get rid of the old or unused paper work on the side of your cubical or wall. My advice is to change it with a pretty calendar with beautiful pictures which not only organizes all your appointments but also provides you an escape from your mundane routine.

Sleek & Savvy: If you have nothing more than just office desk, chair and filing cabinets but they are large and old then it’s time to replace them with something new and more efficient and less space consuming. With the on going need for more space and efficiency modern furniture designers have introduced great solutions to fit your style and needs. The new furniture is not only comfortable but ergonomically designed for all day use encouraging productivity. Multi purpose furniture such as an ottoman, bench or chest which can store some of your stuff or take the place of a coffee table will serve the purpose. A desk with lots of compartments and drawers should eliminate the need for filing pedestals or cabinets. Buy a chair which has wheels and lumbar support so that you are able to move back and forth in a small space from your desk to the filing cabinet and have a proper back support all day long.

Colour my World: Dark colors may look modern but they seem to make a small space even smaller. You can create an illusion of openness by using light paint colors. If you use different tones of the same colour that could make your room appear bigger and spacious depending on the light and windows.

Night Light: If your work space has table lamps or floor lamps, get rid of them and invest in ceiling lights. Track or recessed light works best for small office this gives an illusion of spaciousness. Use blinds where needed instead of curtains but let the natural light flow in because it’s the best way to make a space look bigger.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall: A wider and lighter colour floor will open up the space and so does a mirror if positioned in front of a window to reflect light in the room. If this is not possible then add mirrors on the wall where possible so that the ceiling light reflects in the room and on the floor creating an illusion of openness. Last but not least stay away from too many prints in the office.

Having a small office isn’t the end of the world; everyday if you set 10 minutes aside to clean up and de-clutter your workspace things can become clear, comfortable and you can become more productive.

In this economy improving the look and function of your office can be a challenge. Times are tougher than ever before, and there may be times when changes are necessary to stay on top. Buy keeping the attitude positive, the company moral high, and the company image as a success story is not an area where you should be making those changes.

A comfortable well working office will have a positive affect on your employees moral and ultimately increases the overall productively levels. Today’s offices are using less people to do the same work load. By giving your employee a proper desk surface, adequate overhead storage and well planned furniture for the task, you are ensuring that your employees make the most of their working hours by staying focused on their job at hand.

The objective of any company is to maximize the opportunities for success. A prime example of potential opportunity lies within your employee’s hands. They are the front fighters that can make or break you. They can be positive, or they can be negative. A lot of their attitude comes from your attitude towards the company and how you regard their personal comfort while working for you. It makes logical sense to make sure they have all the tools they need help you build towards your success.

How to achieve a good work place environment:

Time: First and foremost find time to review how your offices works, who works with who, how many need privacy versus how many need open communication. How many files does each person really need at their desk? How many shared files do you need, and who used them? How many printers do you need, versus how many do you have? What can you get rid of and what needs to stay in the office? Take the time to talk to your employees and find out if they know of a better way for them to work. What do you envision for your office? What are your goals?

Budget: Secondly, look at the budget; how much can you spend and what costs are involved. Price out each workstation and private office as well as board rooms and seating costs. Always the more you buy, the less your overall price will be based on contract furnishing costs versus one of a kind. Remember to consider costs such as data/phone line changes. If you are doing this to improve your office work space and moral, don’t buy something because it is the cheapest product on the market, buy what you really need to take care of all aspects of the renovation. Although cost is important, it is not the only factor involved to do the job right.

Office Furniture Companies: Shop around and look for different office furniture providers / companies. Search for office furniture company’s online that do both design and furniture. You will have a one source purchase which mean better savings. Google Toronto Office furniture to see what comes up. Go onto each website and see which one has the style that seems right for your company’s image.

Showroom Visits: Furniture is not something that you would want to buy online by just looking at the picture. You should choose a furniture provider who can actually take you to their showroom to view some of their latest products. This way you can actually see the product first hand and decide on the color and finishes. I would also suggest requesting the furniture provider to take you on a tour of some their recently finished projects. This will give you an idea of their services and grasp the level of satisfaction and trust their current customers have.

Delivery: You should choose someone locally or within your area as this will cut down your delivery and installation costs. Make sure know what your lead times are so they coincide with any renovations you may be having prior to installing the furniture.

All in all I would suggest choosing a company and furniture that is straight forward with you in your dealings, and well established in the industry. A company that is solid and has a good sense and knowledge of the product and the business they are in. A team who could walk you through step by step with dedication, confidence and good advice in choosing the right furnishing, with the right budget for your next project.

Office Layout – prior to configuration
Office Layout – after configuration

Every office with time needs some changes in its design and layout. With reconfiguration you can actually improve the look and efficiency of a workplace.

Companies do reconfiguration due to the following main reasons.
1. Company size: Up –sizing or down sizing, what ever the case is the existing furniture needs to be reconfigured to work with the new environment of the company.

2. Relocation/Existing Furniture: There are times when companies move to a new location and the new place comes with existing furniture. You are stuck with a design and layout which perhaps was good for the company before but not that great for your companies’ workflow and efficiency. Reconfiguration can help turn this “new workspace” into “your workspace”.

3. Budgetary Constraints: Sometimes companies buy a new place or have an existing space but due to budgetary constraints they cannot purchase new furniture. This is when they benefit from reconfiguration.

4. Surplus existing furniture: Reconfiguration is a good choice when the company wishes to utilize their existing furniture so that it works with their current needs.

It’s best to hire a Space Planner and Designer who can create drawings /plans for the reconfiguration after analyzing the space and needs based on time. A good space planner will come up with a plan which involves the least amount of down time for the office yet makes sure that everything goes smoothly resulting is a more relaxed and productive workspace to meet the needs of all the employees.

Another important aspect of reconfiguration is to inventory your existing furniture to determine what can be used or if there is a requirement of additional new items to complete the reconfiguration.
Always look for a furniture installer who is knowledgeable about the product which is to be assembled and offers dismantling and moving any existing furniture to make space for the reconfiguration. They should also offer full inspection after completion to make sure everything is perfect. Correct installation is imperative to maximize productivity and reduce inefficiency and to stay on budget. A well established furniture dealer/company and its installers would always work closely with the facilities manager to over come any logistical complexities and to make sure that every job is finished satisfactorily.

It’s always best to do some research before buying furniture like cubicles and add on. Today’s modular furniture products have made reconfiguration a simple job. By adding a few new products to the existing cubicles you can change the look and meet the needs of the employees at the same time. Cubicle walls or separators are a crucial part of any reconfiguration. They come in different materials like wood, aluminum, or steel and covered with fabric or steel or cork board to achieve the final look; which makes it very easy to move and reconfigure. There are different wall styles available based on thickness and design. Thicker walls give more room for electrical wiring and look more permanent but heavier and harder to move. They are most suitable for Executive spaces and Conference areas. Standard office cubicles are made of thinner material so they are easy to move around and redesign. By adding height adjustable walls to an office or cubicle you can control the privacy preference of a space. If the need changes it’s easy to add another panel to increase or decrease the height.

Sometimes it’s hard to decide which surface is best suitable for your office? Understanding the positive and negative aspects of each texture and surface can help you to make the appropriate choices for your workspace. Here are some of the different options that are available in the market which can help you decide keeping your budget and needs in mind.
Laminate: There are two kinds of laminates in the market. Low Pressure and High Pressure. Low pressure laminate is sometimes also referred to “Melamine”. It is a thin single melamine paper bonded to a substrate board. High pressure laminate surface is composed of multiple layers of paper saturated with resin and finished with a printed surface. Over the years laminate has become popular and has been well received by the furniture buyers. Advanced quality and techniques have it made very hard for a common eye to distinguish between laminate and real wood veneer. Layers are pressed together under high heat and pressure creating a durable material which is scratch, water and heat resistant; the end result is an uncanny resemblance to solid wood. Laminates are highly durable, inexpensive and low maintenance. They are scratch, heat, chemical and moisture resistant. Some laminates have flame retardant properties and have good electrical isolation properties and antibacterial properties. Laminates have a good 15 year life span against wear and fading; hence making them very suitable for an office as they stand up to the daily demand of a busy office. Taking care of laminate surface is very easy just wipe it off with water and clean cloth and you are good to go. No need to wax or polish. An additional advantage of laminate surfaces or furniture is that they can be easily customized when it comes to special sizing of drawer and cabinet configuration and two tone coloring. Price is usually the most important factor when it comes to redoing or reconfiguring your office. Laminate furniture is less expensive than real wood hence less expensive to install. Sometimes you can self assemble the items which can be cost effective if you are on a tight budget.
Veneer Surfaces: If you like the look of “real wood” for your office then veneer surface is the way to go. Wood veneer furniture will add an image of class and stature to your office. Due to its particleboard substrate it is resistant against warping and moisture damage better than solid hardwood. Veneers benefits the environment; it can incorporate beautiful symmetric and consistent grain patterns as well as give you the opportunity to use rare wood such as rosewood as part of the design. Please keep in mind that over a period of time lighting can changes the color of wood. Natural veneer surface can be protected with polish containing natural ingredients using a soft lint free cloth. You should protect veneer surfaces from severe scratches by using accessories which have felt leather or cork padding. Try lifting objects rather than sliding when moving across the veneer surfaces.
Solid Wood: Solid wood is not “solid” as its name implies. It is constructed of narrow planks cut to be a desired width and laid side by side. 100% softwood and hardwood lumber. Such surfaces or furniture uses no veneers or particleboard fillers. The grain of the wood will be visible and the piece will likely feel heavier. It is not cost effective to carve an entire piece of furniture out of a single piece of wood. Solid wood furniture is extremely durable and can last a life time. It can be sanded, stained or refinished. It offers superior stability and reliability and is of higher quality.
In the end it’s a matter of your preference, budget and need. Who knows in the future we will have surfaces and furniture as durable as solid wood, environmental friendly and beautiful as wood veneer and affordable, and durable as laminate.
