Compact offices have become more popular due to the rise in hybrid workforces, economic considerations, and the desire for a more sustainable footprint. With hybrid workforces taking off in popularity, the need for large office spaces is minimal, as only a specific number of employees visit the office weekly. Also, a smaller space allows for lower costs and sustainable options instead of providing larger office operations support, furniture, and supplies. Office Basics gives you the commercial workspace design, information, furniture, products, and assistance you need to maximize efficiency in compact offices.

Space-Saving Working Environments

If your business promotes collaborative work, we have office furniture and layout designs to enhance that collaborative work environment and complement the compact space. A collaborative work environment is more of an open-concept idea of an office. We have a variety of chairs and sofas that will work to your benefit, as well as tables like the National Mio Collaborative Table. 

If you’re interested in the classic cubicle layout, our options are modern, sleek, and don’t take up unnecessary space. Browse our systems or take a showroom tour, and you’ll see different cubicle options that fit your office needs. 

We also offer many different complete office systems to transform any commercial workspace design. These systems combine multiple desks into one unit, providing ample space in the office while still promoting productivity. 

Storage

Even in smaller, compact working environments, storage is crucial to prevent clutter and distractions to you, your employees, and your customers/clients. We offer many different storage options to keep your office organized without too much space. If you’re designing a smaller, compact office space, our best suggestion is the tall storage spaces like the HON Contain. It’s versatile to maximize office and storage space and is a collection of towers, pedestals, and drawers. Our storage solutions are for any type of office environment and will match the aesthetic you’re looking for. 

Working Walls

Modular glass office walls allow you to add separation between working environments without building physical rooms, which take up much more space. A modular glass office wall is a high-quality glass partition that serves as a room divider throughout an office space. 

They are non-load-bearing interior walls that help divide a space for any number of employees without sacrificing floor space and light distribution. They also cut energy costs because they provide natural light to each office space and reduce the need for artificial or electric lighting systems. These walls are the best solution if you have a compact space but need to separate some office areas. 

Conference Tables

Look no further if your compact office requires conference tables for client meetings, team meetings, or collaborative projects. Office Basics offers HON Between tables for everywhere

and in between. This new approach requires getting the most out of every inch of space by adding versatile tables for flexible applications and increased productivity. The Between table collection goes everywhere and with everything. It’s a reliable go-to that can be put wherever you need it, whether you’re working here, there, or anywhere between.

Desks

Desks take up the most space, so we have options that include the desk, storage drawers, and cabinets to eliminate the need for extra storage units. The KIMBALL Priority includes new height-adjustable desks and many low storage pedestals that can be integrated for a comprehensive solution. If you prefer a larger desk, less storage, or other customizable options, look through our desks; we’re confident you’ll find precisely what you are looking for.

Seating

The HON Tangram is the best option if your space allows extra seating. Tangram seating offers various configuration options, soft upholstered comfort, and durability with bright colors and built-in power capabilities. You can shape these seats however you see fit for the areas in your office, providing comfort, style, and engagement in the environment. 

If you’re looking for other chair options, we have plenty. You can choose from chairs with rolling capabilities like the HON Ignition, Motive, KIMBALL Theo, or other Task Chairs. We also offer comfortable and space-saving stationary seats if you prefer those. 

Furniture Planning & Design

Whether you’re designing an ample office space or a smaller, compact space, we can help plan the right type of furniture and design your space to promote productivity and comfort. Especially for smaller spaces, it may be challenging to design and choose the right furniture to maximize the space without feeling crowded. Our team provides a design process that looks like this:

• Consultation: We’ll take the time to understand your vision and company culture, analyze the floorplan and space, and determine what needs to be done.
• Brainstorm: Based on your feedback, our designers will prepare an initial furniture layout and invite you to tour our showroom to test out the furniture in person.
• Design: We’ll produce 2D and 3D concepts with our furniture renderings and layouts and present a full scope of work and quotation based on the final design approval.
• Installation: We’ll start the installation process with our skilled team and provide you with any advice on electrical and data requirements to ensure a successful installation.

If you need help with your commercial workspace design, Office Basics will provide everything you need to ensure that your workspace exudes productivity, professionalism, and your company culture. Our computer-aided design with 3D drawings and renderings, exclusive project management, and furniture specialist team provide full transparency at all times.
