Not all companies have spaces to distribute the work zones with ease. Sometimes, the few meters are imposed in the distribution and it is necessary to resort to elements and solutions so much constructive and furniture to save the situation. We give you some keys that can even be applied in spacious work areas.
Flexible spaces
The key in the new organization of the modern offices is in the creation of flexible spaces that are transformed according to work needs and activities. Even the traditional director's offices, which were for exclusive use and only had one function, are now converted into meeting rooms at the request of users. Modern design has banished watertight spaces single-use, which are not very effective or functional.
The characteristics of these spaces are defined almost exclusively by their elements, in the majority portable and mobile, that are the key to the greatest use of space.

Versatile and multifunctional furniture
To create these flexible spaces, it is essential to have furniture that is also flexible. The designs stackable, with wheels and/or with articulated parts that can be folded are essential in office furniture. The idea of transforming a space in a few minutes from a meeting room to an auditorium or a work area can only be achieved with light and mobile furniture. And we are not only referring to the chairs, but also to bullion tables with wheels and different heights, libraries movable that function as space dividers or panels folding ones that isolate or expand rooms.

Freedom of movement
One of the most important points of the occupational health protocols It is the need for the worker to be able to change position and posture, even physical space, during their work day. So that the body does not spend more than two hours in the same position, there are resources that activate movement without having to stop working. For example, tables with height adjustment It allows us to work sitting or standing, and thus change posture when we consider necessary.
Glass partition elements
In small spaces it is essential that the light reach every corner. For this reason, doors, panels and partitions they must be from glass or a translucent material that allows the passage of light. It is preferable to avoid opaque elements that shrink the room. If, furthermore, the dividing elements are foldable or retractable (which are hidden inside a wall), much appreciated meters will be saved.
No doubt the glazed walls They are, today, one of the most used materials in the modern office design. You can see all the advantages in this post.

Use of vertical space
Traditionally, the distribution of furniture and objects is usually concentrated from eye level down, leaving the rest of the free headspace or, at most, for lamps and other decorative elements such as paintings. We don't realize that we waste a lot cubic meters that can serve as storage. The shelves and bookcases They are absolutely essential pieces of furniture in offices and, thanks to their modular designs, They can be placed anywhere. They not only serve to store material, but are also elements that can help divide spaces, while providing a decorative function.
Unify materials in light colors
This is a maxim that must be strictly followed: choose a color range in light tones for materials and furniture. Visual breadth will be gained, while avoiding the feeling of overwhelm that dark or excessively colorful colors sometimes produce. Opt for neutral ranges –white, sand, pearl, stone, gray, taupe, etc.– is always a safe bet. If desired, you can add color accents in the upholstery of chairs or dividing elements between tables, but always maintaining the neutral box.
Choose materials with acoustic qualities
In spaces where several groups of workers coexist, it is necessary to take special care of the acoustic and sound-absorbing elements. For example, the separators Between the jobs there should be materials with acoustic properties. This type of material can be used to place lighting, or make panels and ceilings, which prevent reverberations. Install wooden flooring o carpets It is also a solution that improves the acoustics of the space and makes it more comfortable and soundproof. Finally, we make a special commitment to the Facilities, which fulfill an important acoustic function, since they mitigate noise while oxygenating the air we breathe.
