How to maximize small office spaces 

Looking for tips on how to maximize your office space? 

Set your office up for success by reviewing your floor plan, measuring dimensions, and noting how people move through the space. Think about where your high-use items need to be stored – are they in easily accessible areas? 

You can start by focusing on creating defined zones. Even in small spaces, define areas for work, meetings, and storage. Use rugs, partitions, or furniture placement to establish zones without walls. 

Consider if a flexible layout works for your industry. You can do this by utilizing hot-desking or sharing desks for hybrid teams. Multi-use furniture such as modular furniture can be rearranged as office needs change, and movable partitions help for quick reconfiguration. 

How to make a small space feel big: 

To create the illusion of a larger room, promote natural light with mirrors, neutral wall colors and glass finishes.  

Making the most of your space can also make a small room feel large. Choosing multi-functional furniture is a great way to make use of a small space. Nesting chairs, tables with flipable tops, and desks with ample storage are great multi-use furniture options. Rolling pedestal files and wall-mounted storage keeps storage out of the way but still accessible.
