Some advices to furnish an office and make it people-friendly

New furniture trends every year are born and developed. New styles are created and others are revisited, as in any case always happens in the fashion sector. But there are anyhow some guidelines to keep always in mind. The first thing is comfort and ergonomics of furniture and used materials. Because the most important thing is that every employee feels at ease and comfortable with the surrounding environment. The space then has to be bright and organized in a functional way, the practicality and the ability to respond to the needs of those who work there are the essential characteristics for an appropriate interior furnishings.  

The more modern solutions use metal and aluminum as privileged materials, shapes are essential and colors are for the most part neutral.

It is very important that on the workplace some measures are adopted to make less stressful the eight hours in the office. The office desk should be opaque, in order to minimize reflections, and at least 80 cm deep to keep the monitor at a proper distance from the eyes. The ergonomic chair is useful, but it is also important how we sit: you must occupy the entire seat. Leg and thigh should form a right angle. Leaning hands on desk, arm and forearm should be at right angle to one another. And the back must be kept straight, not curved. The monitor should have a minimum frequency of 85 Hz and low radiation emission (all recent models are like this), so as not to tire your eyes too much. It should be positioned at the right height to prevent disturbance to the cervical. The keyboard should be ergonomic and split in sections. Alternatively, it may be useful a mouse mat. Not to tire too much your eyes, you should make a pause of at least 5 minutes every half an hour passed in front of the monitor. These are all elements which a careful interior design cannot ignore.

But the general contractor projects certainly does not stop here, another very important element in the office design are the containers and the spaces for storing. So it is essential to manage the space in an smart way, because it leads to a better work organization, putting orders also between all the ideas. Not only comfortable seats, but solutions that maximize the capabilities of an environment, allowing also removing and cataloging large amounts of important documents. In this case equipped walls can be very useful to exploit any space, in order to pigeonhole and organize all documents. Some designers have designed these walls in order to store both paper and digital materials. In addition, the containers department is enriched always with new models, new materials, new colors, shapes always more varied to meet any need for order and storage.

A comfortable office also makes the lives of the employees more comfortable and thus more peaceful; now companies cannot ignore these requirements to reduce the turn-over of staff and increase productivity.
