Top Five Refurbishment Tips That Create Collaborative & Beneficial Workspaces
As the working world evolves to be more modern, connected and inclusive, so too does the need for workspace environments to be designed in a way that supports how employees thrive. When the dust settles in the economy and life returns to normal, this will be more apparent than ever.

TOP FIVE TIPS
Think Pixar, think Google!
According to Urban Rhythm, the top tips for creating the illusion of a bigger space comes down to implementing a minimalist approach through a number of factors including colours, patterns, materials, flooring, furniture and accessories. A simplified and consistent method is ultimately the key to creating a spacious and aesthetically pleasing environment.
FAST FITOUT’S are game-changers in this aspect and offer some additional handy tips they are specialised in.
1. Incorporate A Lounge Room
By endorsing social interaction via a lounge room setting, creative thinking and problem solving often transpires.
2. Ditch Old-School Cubicles & Replace With An Open Benching Layout
Collaborative desk clusters encourage open communication and allow for flexibility ie: Hot Desking.
3. Multi-Purpose & Mixed Personality Rooms
Small tweaks through furniture can go a long way. Utilising spaces for a variety of purposes inspires nontraditional modes of meeting, sharing, breaking and testing.
4. Use Colour To Your Advantage
Brighter, more vibrant colours generally injects energy and creativity into active and lively workspaces. Concentrated and more autonomous settings, however, tend to foster softer, more understated tones.
5. Utilise Your Space
Simplifying colour pallet’s, incorporating symmetry in furniture choices, ditching clutter and opting for shades over curtains are a few tips for making the most of the area you’re working in and enlarging the look and feel of your office.
