How to optically maximize space in the office?

Not every company has large and spacious office interiors at its disposal. Many companies have to start out in small office spaces. In such small interiors, every element of décor is of enormous importance. That’s why it’s worth focusing on solutions that will visually increase the small office space and give it depth.
Office interior design is definitely important and plays a key role in a company’s well-being. It is important to combine aesthetics and style with the convenience and comfort of office workers. In a small office space, every element is important and every square centimeter must be used rationally. Consider a few secrets to help visually expand a small office space and make it attractive and beautiful.
Bright, solid-colored walls
The main technique that helps to visually enlarge any office space is a single-colored, light (preferably white) tones for the walls and ceiling. White walls look win-win and stylish, as well as greatly expanding the space.
If you still want to add color, you should choose very light, neutral tones – pale green, blue, mint, light gray, etc.

Thoughtful furniture
A small office requires an especially responsible approach in the choice of furniture. You do not need to buy anything unnecessary, so the best solution is to think in advance what exactly you need, and what this furniture should be.
First of all, attention should be paid to the workplace. Even if the office is quite cramped, assigning a person less than 4 square meters is impossible, ideally – strive for 6 “squares”. A spacious and functional table, a comfortable chair – this is the minimum that everyone must have.
Use furniture-transformers. It performs the same functions, but takes up much less space than usual. Constructor furniture is just a salvation for small office spaces.
As for the relaxation zone, in a small office you can refuse from it at all, or if space allows, combine the relaxation zone with the kitchen.

Lighting
This is a very important point in the arrangement of small office spaces. Bright and strong light increases the space, and dim light gives the effect of intimacy and coziness, but at the same time – optically reduces the room. In the lighting of a small interior is good to use both natural and artificial light.

Minimum of decor
An abundance of decorative elements in general looks quite strange in offices. But if in large spaces it is still acceptable, then in small areas in general it is necessary to reduce the decorations to a minimum. One picture on the wall in the office and that is quite enough. Desks, window sills and other places should be clean and empty in order to achieve a more spacious and bright space.

To optimize the interior of the office space is necessary to use each square meter functionally: instead of a large meeting room better give preference to the phone boxes, recreation area, in addition to the main purpose – use it for informal communication of employees, etc.

When furnishing an office with greenery choose tall indoor plants. They will visually stretch the space upwards and the ceiling will be higher.
