The Office Design Trends in 2020 by Centrix Projects
The modern office spaces are forever evolving and we see them becoming more employee-centric with a heightened focus on creating an environment conducive to productivity. Building office spaces, therefore, requires a lot of research and hard work. We are predicting that a similar trend will be followed in the year 2020. At Centrix, we researched and did many stand-ups to curate this list of office space trends in 2020.
Bringing nature indoors
Time and again the soothing effects of nature have been known to help reduce stress levels and impact employee well-being. Bringing in nature in the workplace, not only keeps the mood fresh but has many other physical & psychological benefits. The bio-phillic trend has been on the rise and we feel it will continue to grow.
- Wood, Stone & Water – These elements can be really appealing and make your office space look nature-friendly.
- Windows & Natural Light – Everyone loves natural light. Having lots of windows will not only provide you natural light but gives your office space a more comfortable look.
- Use of warm colours – Nature-inspired colors are warm and having your office space follow these colors can do the job.
- More of outdoor spaces – Incorporating outdoors into your office design will always be in trend.
The fusion of technology
Technology is there to help us make our lives easier and the same applies inside an office. Adapting the latest technology is the way to make your office space modern and comfortable. Integrating quality screens in the conference room, an adequate amount of charging points in the office, power plugs, presentation screens & smart desks will improve your office space a lot.
Informal is the new formal
The world is changing and the office is almost the second home of every individual. Keeping this in mind, an office space can accommodate elements that give some homely vibes to the workspace. These days the professional & personal lives are very much intertwined and the reason why gyms, Yoga rooms & small kitchens are going to be the latest trend in 2020.
Collaboration
Time is the most valuable thing in any office and workspaces that save time are going to stay in trend in 2020 and for many coming years. Office space that helps in prioritizing time, where doing things is effortless and where the creativity flows within the workspace is what everyone will be looking for in 2020.
Agile workspaces
Workspaces need to incorporate designs that give their employee the freedom of moving about and doing things their way of giving birth to the idea of agile workspaces. The furniture and other elements should allow for flexibility and multifunctionality.
Sustainability
We all agree that climate change is real and everyone around us should do their bit to help save our environment. While many larger organizations endeavor to attain a BREEAM, LEED or Green Building Standard rating/accreditation for their space, an increasing number of companies are taking a more proactive, hands-on approach when it comes to selecting materials and furniture that are environment-friendly, reclaimed or upcycled materials, gyrating more towards cyclic interior design.
