Same as with your home, a smart design is invaluable thing in an office. However, unlike in your home where it only affects your mood, in the office a good design can significantly improve your productivity. Summer time is a season of regrowth and rejuvenation so why not try to introduce some of this positive vibe in your office as well.

Colors to Increase Productivity
Basic behavioral psychology teaches us that different colors affect our mind in different ways. Some of them are there to agitate and energize us while others can be used for their soothing properties. In agreement with this, you can simply use this knowledge to match the color of the office with your job. You can even use different colors in different parts of your office. For example, negotiators like sales team can benefit from red walls while yellow and blue are just perfect for those work posts where people require a lot of peace and concentration.
Choice of Office Furniture
Next, essential thing in every office are its furniture. For beginning, you will need a lot of storage space which can be settled in two ways. First one is to separate a specific room to serve as a storage, which can be quite difficult (especially in the smaller premises).

After you have this done, it would also be wise to plan a bit towards getting some new Sydney office furniture. This will most certainly be a gesture your employees will know to appreciate.
Organization of your Office
Late 20th century gave birth to the notion of office ergonomics. This science (or art as some like to refer to it) is the method of organizing your workspace in order to achieve optimal productivity and minimize any negative effects that may come along. Privacy, personal work station and sitting order are all of essence here. One of the most revolutionary practices sitting-order-wise, is to create two rows each facing another. The best thing about this is a fact that not a single workstation will be left out and no one will feel isolated, or excluded. Needless to say, cubicles are a definite no.
Introducing Some Nature
In order to allow everyone to revel in the magnificence of summer, try to bring as much of nature as you possibly can inside. This mostly means, decorating your interior with pot plants and enhancing your exterior with some beautiful spring spruces. In this way you will not only give your employees a breeze of summer air as they come for work and when they leave, but also repay a part of your debt to our beautiful green planet.
Finally, productivity should never be your only focus. Creating a beautiful and pleasant work environment should be a reward on its own, even if numbers don’t show it right away. By investing just a bit of time in improving your office visually, you will most definitely plant a seed of a future success. In the end, this indeed seems as a too good opportunity to be let to miss on.
