Office Interior Designing: Inspiring Workspaces for Your Employees

office Interior Design post-COVID is no easy task. Organizations today are getting increasingly conscious of the importance of employee health and well-being upon return to working from the office. In order to achieve this, interior design firms in Dubai have come up with effective ideas that foster both employee wellness and productivity within the workplace.

The demand for advanced technologies & wellness-based designs is driving businesses to invest in spaces that are both flexible and progressive. Unique and flexible work station systems that can enhance the wellness and happiness of employees are being widely considered. The new spaces are vibrant, authentic to the core, and are adaptable to new technologies as they arrive.

As we move into the New Year following many new project inquiries and ongoing discussions with clients, we have observed a few trends that can create a powerful impact on your workspace interiors. 

• Multi-functional Workspaces:

As many businesses are rapidly expanding into multiple domains & verticals, the need for multidisciplinary approach & flexible workspaces has also risen. The contemporary spaces include step-style seating, mobile green dividers, in-out pathways etc. The next-gen design furniture models are lightweight, resilient, mobile, multi-functional and ergonomic. The idea behind multi-functional workspaces is to make the most out of precious real estate. The flexible spaces enable the smart transition of environments from conference rooms to podcast studios to production spaces to humble private spaces in a fast turnaround. They also include movable partitions, lightweight furniture & adjustable lighting and technology. In complete flexibility, the dynamic workspaces allow you to transform your interiors instantly.

Collaborative, innovative and integrated workspaces are important now that can adapt to your real-time business needs & employee satisfaction. As your business advances, the demand for multi-functional, dynamic workspaces will only become more important.

• Natural materials:

The traditional office environments were built using whiteboard drywall buildings stuffed with metal cubicles. The new environments are focused on sustainability & redesigned workspaces to meet employee and tenant expectations. Contractors and interior designers globally are incorporating sustainably sourced wood and natural materials into their office interiors.

In current commercial interior design trends, wooden elements, live plants, and natural stone finishes are used to enhance biophilic design of office environments. . Biophilic designs are frameworks inspired by real life. Organic patterns & natural forms are entwined into the organizational structure to foster the human-nature relationship. They also hold inspiring innovations like biodynamic lighting and nature-inspired flooring. Features such as live green walls, wooden ceiling slats and partitions, and natural stone floor tiles are commonly used to add a natural touch to commercial office space.

• Striking Sustainability

Interior design firms in Dubai are designing eco-friendly, sustainable spaces for the wellness of both employees and the environment. Employees and staff are also agreeing that sustainability is becoming increasingly important when choosing potential employers and workspaces. In current office design sustainability involves integrating recycled, sustainably sourced, and green-certified materials into the building. Modern sustainable designs focus on both building’s performance as well as employee wellness.

• Hanging Horticulture

As previously mentioned plants and biophilia can be major design features in office environments. The majority of new office spaces are incorporating a variety of live and artificial plants, living green, and moss walls. Vertical gardens and hanging horticulture are innovative ways to increase the amount of nature in the workplace. Ceilings are commonly left as open industrial style allowing maximum space to enhance the biophilic design.
