If you’re a startup looking to acquire premises then there’s a good chance you’re going to start off with something small. Unfortunately, we have a tendency to associate small with less, particularly when you’re starting out and feel the need to make a good first impression. The prospect of having clients turn up to a small and cramped office is not a particularly attractive one. That said, there are a number of hack ideas for the workplace that give the impression of a more affluent and productive environment.
When acquiring office space for the first time, be mindful of the regulatory requirements which you might not have thought about initially. For instance, backflow prevent carries out annual backflow prevention testing in order to keep your staff and customers safe in terms of sanitary health. Managing a business can be overwhelming, especially in a small setting. Below are three ways you can aesthetically make the most of your small workspace.
Natural Lighting
The term “dark and dingy” often goes hand in hand with the notion of small spaces. Indeed, the darker the workspace is, the smaller and more claustrophobic it tends to feels. On the other hand, the more natural light there is, the airier and spacious a small space will feel. Therefore the key to making the most of a small space is to get as much natural light into the room as possible. You could also use mood lighting to create a warm ambiance which is particularly wise if you’re utilizing a creative space.
Declutter
The more cluttered an office feels the smaller the space feels. The challenge when working in a small space is that it’s often easy for the space to feel cluttered even when it isn’t actually cluttered. For this reason, you will want to consider a minimalist approach in terms of decoration and organization.
Temperature Control
In addition to wanting the space to feel light and airy by bringing in as much natural light as possible, there’s a genuine need to keep the space cool. When a room gets hot and stuffy, people tend to get agitated, lose concentration, and start to feel tired. This is the last thing you want from your staff, so it’s important to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air in order to help people keep their cool – both emotionally and physically. If you don’t have windows or the temperature is really hot outside, air conditioning will help ensure the office doesn’t turn into a furnace.
