5 TIPS FOR SELECTING THE FURNITURE THAT SUITS YOUR BUSINESS

1 - MAKE A LIST OF YOUR BASIC NEEDS

The list should include items you must have for your office such as a computer, fax, printer, telephone, file storage, and so on. 

2 - CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION

If you are in a corporate environment, chances are your location is predetermined, but you still need to think about how best to use this space. In most cases, the desk should be positioned with a view of the office entrance and to make use of available natural lighting. 

3 - SELECT FURNITURE DESIGNED TO WORK FOR YOU

Keep your electronic components in mind. Beyond your computer and printer, think about your cell phone, video camera or music player. A good desk includes wire management to keep those unsightly cords out of view. 

4 - CHOOSE FURNITURE THAT REFLECTS YOUR STYLE

Now you get to be creative. Choose furniture that reflects your style. Are you looking for something traditional or contemporary? Wood furniture has a more traditional feel, while steel and glass pieces are more modern and industrial. 

5 - ACCOUNT FOR FILES AND SUPPLIES

Don’t forget all of the other elements that make up your office. A great desk is one thing, but if it is piled with paperwork and supplies it isn’t conducive to working.
