What do I have to take into account if I want to start an office?

We already have the business and just signed a contract to rent a nice office. If we haven’t done that before, now is the moment to plan how we are going to work on that space so it can become a perfect office for our company. In this article we want to give you some details about the different elements that we need to have in mind when putting together our office and that will contribute to have every necessary thing to set in motion our company.

Before to start thinking about decoration, furniture and technology we want to buy, we need to plan and decide our supplies. The wiring is going to be the most important of them for us. Take into account the number of electronic devices, where you want to put the plugs or the Internet connections, the places that need more light… all these elements will be decisive when creating the space. Remember that you will also need to review and update it frequently.

The type of floor will be another of the aspects we need to have in mind. There are lots of possibilities, different prices and different ways to install it. Once we have arrived to this point, we also need to consider the distribution of the space just as the furniture. This will depend on the needs and preferences we have, but we recommend to have as open and transparent spaces as possible, trying to look for balance between the privacy of those that work and the interchange and relations of the team. Separating furniture at a medium height and having a modular furniture will be better if you want to adapt them to different needs in the future.

Decoration. Have in mind the need to create friendly and nice workspaces for those who will use them. Think carefully about the finishing touch, colours and decorative elements. And not just for the workspace but also for the people we have a relation with: clients, suppliers, etc. A good image of the office will be essential for those inside and the ones that come from the outside. And talking about image, don’t forget the front of building that it normally is the window display of the company. Think about that when planning your office because the first impression is really important to start a relationship.
