Beyond the desk and chair – furniture and accessories that make-or-break your workspace 

What’s the key to a successful workspace?

When it comes to space planning for success, the office furniture items you’d least expect can make the most impact on company culture. While an ergonomic chair like the Aeron or Leap is a smart start, the real magic is in the finer touches that bring comfort, functionality, and personality to your office. 

Planning your office layout can feel overwhelming when balancing budget, timeline, and employee needs. At OFR, no office space is too small; no project is too large. Our sales & design team know what office items are ‘must haves’ for all workspaces. We can be there for you every step of the way, from design to installation. 

Furniture that we think ‘makes’ your workplace: 

Screenflex room divider

Room Dividers: Open-plan layouts often lead to noise and distractions. Room dividers and soundproof panels help create private zones, reduce echo, and improve concentration without sacrificing team interaction. 

Kitchen equipment: Creating a social hub for quick breaks and team bonding is great for improving company culture. 

  • Did you know OFR sells kitchen appliances? Our inventory is always changing, but typically you’ll find pre-owned affordable appliances like microwaves and fridges at your local showrooms! 

Phone Booths and Meeting Pods: Modern workplaces need flexible solutions for calls and quick meetings. Phone booths and meeting pods provide quiet, enclosed spaces for video calls and brainstorming sessions – perfect for hybrid teams. 

  •  Tip: Look for pods with built-in ventilation and power outlets for comfort and convenience. 

Wall Art: Your walls are more than decoration – they’re a reflection of your brand. Thoughtful office wall art can inspire creativity, energize employees, and make visitors feel welcome. 

  •  Tip: Incorporate company colors or motivational quotes to reinforce your culture. 

Lounge Furniture: Dedicate breakout zones for employees to privately meet, casually brainstorm, and have coffee chats. Comfortable sofas and chairs encourage informal collaboration. 

At OFR, we can help you with your office projects every step of the way – from space planning to installations.

Our talented team can provide you with a selection of new, used, and refurbished office furniture that is perfect for your employees’ needs.
