6 Hot Office Furniture Trends for 2018

ShareTweet

Are you a start-up business owner or a mommy-blogger-turned-entrepreneur looking to update your office with the latest in office furniture? Or, maybe you just opened a new business and are looking for modern office layout ideas. Whatever the case may be, you’re in luck. Gone are the days of soulless, colorless cubicles. In terms of modern office design, productivity and creativity are equally important. That is why many offices today resemble a playground rather than a super-serious, sterile environment. We can thank the millennials and multimillion dollar companies they run for this dramatic turn of events.

When it comes to office furniture trends in 2018, what has been popular for the past couple of years is now updated. There are also some emerging new trends to keep your eye on, such as vibrant colors and streamlined designs. Read more to discover six hot office furniture trends that will dominate working spaces in 2018.

Simple Spaces

Bulky cabinets and heavy materials are the things of the past. Instead, new trends rely on open shelves, light materials, and functional spaces with clean lines. These workspaces create a better, brighter work atmosphere.

Adaptable Furniture

One of the most popular office furniture trends you are going to be hearing about in 2018 is adaptable furniture. This type of furniture not only looks good but makes organization much easier. You can quickly shift your lounge area into a conference-ready room in minutes, without having to move any heavy furniture pieces around.

The same goes for work areas. Health experts often recommend standing tables, but not all employees are used to standing throughout the day. That’s where transformable tables come in. They can easily change from standing to sitting desks and allow for maximum comfort.

Atypical Workspaces

While cubicles were once believed to inspire productivity, today they are a symbol of corporate slavery. Instead, more offices are opting in for unconventional, open workspaces. One trend that has grown stronger over the years is co-working spaces, areas where colleagues can gather in groups to work together and go back to their own workspace after they’re finished. These co-working areas resemble a modern coffee shop rather than a typical office. Therefore, comfortable seating and inviting décor is suggested, as it helps invite employees to spend their time there.

Ergonomic Furniture Design

According to a survey published by Ergotron, around 86% of full-time US employees spend their time sitting at their work every day. On top of that, many of the surveyed employees also spend additional time sitting while watching TV, playing games or using their personal computer. That is why ergonomic furniture design has grown so popular over the last couple of years. These furniture pieces help prevent pain and injuries caused by sitting. These pieces involve adjustable monitor stands, movable keyboard trays, and adjustable chairs.

Recycled Materials

Going green is certainly not a new trend, but one that has spiked tremendously over the last couple of years. Office furniture designers are bound to follow this trend, as their products become more environmentally friendly by using recycled materials. These can include chairs, desks and even carpets.

Vivid Colors

Did you know that colors can actually affect our feelings? Furniture designers do and they are using this to make employees feel more productive and energized. This trend helps keep both workers and customers more engaged and add a colorful note to the company’s branding efforts.
