Tips on Creating Office Spaces with Used Furniture Whether it’s re-manufactured, refurbished, or reused furniture, buying recycled furniture is not only good for your budget but also for the environment. Think about this:
You’ll get 30% to 50% savings on refurbished furniture; reconditioned furniture just looks as great as the new one.
You’ll be saving our landfill with tons and tons of old used office furniture dumped every year. This means that you’re not only giving something a second life but also reducing wastesthat fill up our limited landfill space.
You’ll be sending this perfect message to your employees: Spend wisely and be socially and environmentally responsible.
So get that new office space started and feel good about contributing something to the environment and the cash position of your office. You can either do the space planning on your own or hire office layout planners from Park Royal Office Furniture. The company’s office designers can whip up great layouts using CAD solutions for small or big offices, with option for cable management solutions, at affordable prices. If you go the DIY office space design route with used furniture, there are some things to remember so you don’t end up spending too much time looking for those pieces of furniture that would perfectly fit the size and the desired look of your office. Before drawing up a plan, decide on a concept. Your office design should jive well with your working processes and work culture. Will you go for open space or enclosed offices? Do you want individual workstations or shared desks? As soon as you have your concept fixed, set the budget (and stick to it!) and give your designing talent a go with these basic reminders: 1. Draw up zones. Identifying the following spaces will enable you to choose the necessary furniture needed to make them functional and appealing: the “entertainment” area where employees can hang out during breaks for coffee and some socialising; the main work area; and the conference or meeting room. 2. Take measurements of the various “zones.” Do a rough sketch on a piece of paper. If you can do a rough sketch to scale, so much the better. This will, more or less, give you an idea of the furniture size to shop considering your big or limited space. 3. Decide on what office furniture you need more than just the basic desk and office chair. Create a list and start searching for sources. Bear in mind that unlike new furniture, used furniture has limited models and designs and they sell fast.
