Industrial Style Interiors
Industrial style office interiors could be a potential trend we can expect to see in 2023, which will suit an open plan office style, this is a trend we have seen
many times previously.
This will include organic materials such as concrete and darker toned woods, as well as worn leathers and rusty accents.
You can amp up the industrial feel of a space with elements such as: exposed piping, bricks and large windows along with feature pendent bulb lighting.
Sustainable Design
This past year sustainable design has been an increasingly popular trend.
This is not set to change in 2023, not only is it essential that we design with the environment in mind, and make more sustainable choices, it is also great for your company image and
attracting new staff.
This goes hand in hand with the everlasting trend of biophilia and embracing elements of nature into the interior space.
Dynamic and Flexible Spaces
Following the pandemic, many companies want to make their workspaces more dynamic and flexible to accommodate any unexpected changes in circumstances
and still be able to work in the best way possible.
This allows staff to vary their style of working, to best suit the style of task they are completing or a preference in the way they work. Typical flexible spaces include, collaborative areas,
brainstorming zones, meeting rooms and quiet working areas.
These areas can serve their intended purpose and can be quickly adapted for potential changes in circumstances.
Ergonomic Furniture
The comfort of furniture can have a massive impact on the atmosphere in a working environment. Uncomfortable furniture can often lead to health issues such as back pain,
being uncomfortable at work can also be distracting at work, which can have a negative impact on productivity.
As a result of this, comfortable, ergonomic furniture that supports the natural movement of the human body is an important element within the workspace, especially if
someone is going to be sitting for long periods of time.
In 2023 we can expect more and more businesses to invest in their wellbeing and comfort within the workplace.
Community Spaces
In todays post-pandemic world, having a sense of community in the workplace is more important now than ever.
With hybrid working being a popular choice amongst many companies, allowing employees to have a sense of belonging when they do come into the office
is essential for positive company culture. Areas like this encourage communication amongst employees as well as encouraging time away from your desk to give you a
proper break during the working day.
Colour Trends
Bright colours for feature walls and statement art pieces or statement furniture pieces are great for sparking energy and creativity. Bright colours
paired with more subtle and muted tones in the main working spaces is going to be a popular choice in 2023.
If you don't want to commit to a colour, then bold patterns are another great option to still have an impact whilst being able to choose more neutral
colours.
