FURNITURE SELECTION · DURING THE DECISION

5 Things to Consider Before Buying Office Furniture

Before you compare finishes, colours and prices, make sure the furniture actually fits your workspace requirements.

Choosing office furniture can quickly become overwhelming. There are countless styles, finishes, sizes and configurations to compare.

A better approach is to start with the practical requirements of the space.

1. What is the furniture used for?

A workstation, meeting table and reception desk all serve very different purposes. Start with the activity before looking at the product.

2. Who will use it?

Different users may need different levels of adjustability, storage and support.

3. How much space is available?

Measure the room and consider circulation before ordering large pieces.

4. How will the space change?

Think beyond today. Teams grow, layouts change and working patterns evolve.

5. Does the product fit the overall environment?

Furniture should feel visually consistent while still meeting the practical needs of the people using it.
