How to Design a More Productive and Happier Office

Does your current office space provide an environment for optimizing your employees’ productivity? If not, what are some ways to improve it? Happy employees are the foundation for productivity. From lighting to pops of color, there are many ways to create a positive workplace. When you start seeing your workplace less as a building and more as an environment, you can begin considering a commercial design build for your Minneapolis business that will inspire openness and productivity.

As a company that specializes in office remodeling, we’ve helped countless business owners reach the full potential of their commercial space. We have a few great suggestions on how to optimize your office for getting the job done.

Open Floor Plans

It’s simple. When the walls come down, productivity goes up. An open floor plan can make employees more accountable for their actions. Social media can be a terrible distraction but with the walls down, there will be less looking-over-the-shoulders and more work getting done. An open floor plan also helps increase morale, as well as in-person interactions.

Natural Light

There have been several studies about the affects of natural light on workers. From darker spaces causing Vitamin D deficiencies to unnatural light messing with workers’ sleep patterns or causing headaches; there are many reasons to let the light in on your next commercial design build.

Employees need access to sunlight. You can maximize the natural light that enters your office with strategically placed windows. Interior walls made of glass can help increase their access to natural light. You can also strategically place solid walls so they won’t block employees’ access to daylight. In addition, there are many options in smart lighting systems to help fend off the lack-of-light blues. When you contact us for your commercial design build, we can discuss the many lighting options and help increase your access to natural light.

Pops of Color

Add an element of surprise with unexpected flourishes of color. Decorate your space with colorful accent walls, murals or colorful furniture to brighten your employees’ day. Drab colored walls can limit your employees’ creativity and thus decrease productivity.

At Titus Contracting, we love to incorporate these subtle elements of design in a commercial design build, knowing what a new coat of paint or accent wall can do to the dynamics of a space.

These are just a few of the many ways an office remodel can help increase productivity. Would you like to learn more about a commercial design build for your Minneapolis business? Call Titus Contracting at 952-746-7817 or contact us for a Consultation.
