A Great Small Office Layout

Office Cubicle Space PlanningWhile many people think size matters most in an office, but the design will make the most impact. If you take some time to plan your layout, your small space can become the creative hub you have always wanted.

Here are some tips for designing a space that keeps employees happy, brings in business, and promotes communication:

  • The layout should represent your office’s organizational structure. How do your internal directions flow? Ask yourself how you will communicate within your office and then determine how to position of each employee to be successful.
  • Make your design flexible and creative. Privacy may be an important aspect of your design, but be sure to leave some open spaces for group collaboration and free conversation. Low-walled cubicles can be a great idea in a small space. Employees sitting near one another can easily build relationships and bounce ideas off one another.
  • The atmosphere should reflect your business’ attitude. Think about how your customers and clients will see your space. What image would you like to reflect to individuals who walk through your doors. And, even if clients don’t ever cross your threshold, you have to portray your attitude and goals to your employees and staff so that everyone can function on a similar level.
  • Be budget minded and frugal. It’s ok to save money where you can. Are there perks you would like to provide for your staff? Or, would you rather forego the perks and pay better wages? Because you have a small office, you are saving money on overhead, so making it the best place to work is a lot easier. You should want your employees to love working for you, so make financial decisions that will keep them loyal to your brand.
  • Keep in mind that cubicles have changed over the years. There are so many design and layout options available for modern day cubicles. You can opt for more stationary versions or pick those that can be regularly changed around to meet your growing needs.

Creative cubicle solutions for small offices are as varied as the offices they represent. Determining which direction your company is going, and what it values most, are key to choosing a design that will work best for you.
