What are some common mistakes to avoid when designing an office space?
Asked 2 years ago
Hello everyone, I'm in the process of designing an office space for my team and I'm looking for some advice on what common mistakes to avoid. I want to create an environment that promotes productivity and collaboration, but I also don't want to overlook any important design elements that could negatively impact the space. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions? Thanks!

When designing an office space, some of the most common mistakes are:
- Having too many unnecessary partitions: You don't have to fully embrace an open-plan workspace, but having too many walls up can limit collaboration and make your office cramped
- Poorly placed light sources: Artificial lighting should be set to avoid glare and intense shadows, while natural light should be maximized to reduce eye strain
- Not having enough storage space: Be sure to include ample storage solutions for documents, supplies, and other items to keep the office tidy and organized.
- Failing to invest in high-traffic areas like reception areas and break rooms: These areas should be designed to give employees and clients a comfortable and inviting space.
