Office Interiors
“You can't run the society on data and computers alone.”
Alvin Toffler
The interior decorator is an artist who creates wonderful themes with a pragmatic visual effect.
Live with beauty and work with willingness. Interior design has a great role to play toward the success of any business. The place, the decorated premises, is a mark of success. An office, small or big, should create an atmosphere that is conducive to work. The creation of a working environment depends largely on interior decor. We believe you can have a mixture of live trees and plants and fake plants and fake trees that help accent the decor of any office.
It has long been understood that color plays a major role in our mood. Office furniture and
cubicles are often drab and colorless. And ulitimately man is a lover of Nature and Beauty and wishes to have about him beautiful things. Decorating your office with silk plants will relieve the day
in day out feeling of work. They can add a touch of color to an otherwise drab environment. And they don’t require the ongoing maintenance of live plants.
Present day offices have lost their conventional appearance, with lots of furniture strewn about,
and people crowding. The old 9-5 rigor is gone. Alvin Toffler, the great American futurist, predicted that the offices of future would no more resemble those present in the eighties either in form or
character, but would be more a place where people go to work in a very casual manner and at times of their choice. They may not work with files and bundles of documents but attend to work with
electronic gadgets, either from home or at the office. The place itself would be more like a place of entertainment or park with silk plants where people go to spend their time with all willingness.
We believe he wasn’t too far off in his predictions.
Many of our present day offices have made their premises so beautiful through the adoption of
proper interior and outdoor decoration. They have created such a congenial atmosphere that people love to visit the offices and work there. Take the internet giants Google & Yahoo. They both have
beautiful cafeterias, day care centers for kids and relax rooms with video games and workout rooms and courts to blow off steam.
The interior design in an office environment should make the employees feel at home and make visitors feel confident. The walls, their color and tone, the wall plaques, the table top decorations of silk flower arrangements all count toward the creation of a beautiful environment. The rugs add to the beauty and act as noise reducers and ward of echo. The monotony of waiting is removed through the convenient furniture and visual themes. You may also add artificial greenery to give it a more natural and relaxed atmosphere
.
The building up of confidence is done indirectly by the presence of tall palm
trees outside the office, a preserved palm tree in the corner -if possible - or artificial topiaries in the waiting room. Green soothes and invigorates. The reception and office cabinets or
rooms can be decorated with proper table top pieces and the wall with artistic paintings and plaques. The dotting of the office with hanging baskets having artificial silk plants or silk flower arrangements, enhances its beauty and destroys the empty feeling.
