6 ideas for corporate office design

Office design is much more than a question of furniture or decoration. It's an essential lever for transforming your day-to-day working life. Well thought-out, it boosts your teams' energy, improves their well-being and reflects your company's dynamism. But in practical terms, how can you make your space practical, welcoming and inspiring?

In this article, we share some concrete, easy-to-implement ideas for making the most of your office space. Whether you're in the middle of a move or simply looking for something new, here are some ideas for creating a motivating and functional working environment.

1. Flexibility first and foremost

As working habits evolve, so must office space. More than ever, companies need flexibility to adapt to new uses. That's why you need modular layouts: removable partitions, height-adjustable desks and multifunctional zones. The aim? Easily switch from a collaborative space to a concentration zone, according to the needs of the moment.

Why choose flexibility?

Flexible spaces are the key to adapting to changing team needs. Imagine being able to transform a meeting room into a collaborative workspace in the blink of an eye, or reorganize offices according to ongoing projects. Modularity allows you to create dynamic environments where everyone can find their place according to their current needs. It's the assurance of being able to evolve with agility as changes occur.

2. Focus on employee well-being

It can't be said often enough: a comfortable, welcoming office has a direct impact on motivation. Think about integrating elements that promote well-being at work: ergonomic armchairs, relaxation areas, green plants... And don't forget natural light!

Idea to try out

Create a “Zen zone” with relaxing chairs and a green atmosphere. According to a study by the Observatoire de la Qualité de Vie au Travail (2024), employees working in a green environment say they are 30% more relaxed.

3. Collaborative spaces for greater creativity

Informal exchanges are often the most productive. Plan friendly spaces where your teams can exchange ideas freely: brainstorming rooms, lounge areas, high tables... At Deskeo, for example, we favor shared spaces where ideas can flow freely.

Tip

To stimulate creativity on a daily basis, consider installing spaces where employees can express their ideas freely: writing walls, collaborative boards or even areas dedicated to the exchange of ideas.

4. Assert your corporate identity

Your offices reflect your DNA. Why not use the colors of your logo for decoration, or install works of art inspired by your business? This helps employees feel connected to your corporate culture.

An inspiring example

Kraken called on Deskeo to redesign its offices with a strong visual identity and a creative spirit. The idea? Create a workspace that reflects their dynamism and corporate culture. To achieve this, original materials such as pink PVC and blue joints were incorporated. Particular attention was also paid to playful details, such as a toy catcher filled with pink mascots, which adds an offbeat, fun touch. Everything has been thought out so that the space tells the Kraken story, right down to the smallest corner. A layout that makes you want to come to work every morning and that reflects team spirit and innovation - that's the strength of this project!

5. Technology, a discreet but effective ally

In an increasingly connected world, offices need to integrate technology without overdoing it. Interactive screens in meeting rooms, wireless chargers integrated into desks, and online room reservation tools... These are just some of the solutions that can help make your day-to-day life more fluid.

Think about it

Install recharging stations in common areas to avoid the hunt for a power outlet. A little extra that makes all the difference!

6. Acoustics, often neglected

A noisy open space can quickly become a nightmare. To avoid noise pollution, consider acoustic panels, footfall-absorbing carpets and partitions to create more intimate spaces.

Practical tip

Plant partitions can provide both a natural touch and acoustic comfort. Two in one!
