The office should be equally suitable for both active work and relaxation. The employees’ productivity throughout the working day depends on how comfortable the conditions are for recuperation during breaks.
The main principles for an office recreation area:
- Freedom from visual and auditory noise – music, a large TV, work noises and other factors that distract from relaxation should be excluded from this area of the office.
- Convenient location – the recreation area should have visually noticeable boundaries and be located in a place somewhat distant from the work space.
- Suitable furniture – this point is worth dwelling on in more detail. It is necessary to choose upholstered furniture for the office wisely. It should match the style and color scheme with the main design of the space and be monochromatic – variegation prevents the mind from resting. Basically, the recreation area should be represented by sofas and armchairs. The best option is to buy them in sets, which can be found for every taste. There are construction kits in which furniture can be combined, creating a unique space for relaxation in the office.
It is important that the furniture can both decorate the office at work and serve as a practically useful decorative element, suitable for a comfortable pastime. The padding should be soft, create a feeling of coziness and peace. Such a corner of peace should be in every office, immersion in it for 5-10 minutes can sometimes open a second wind in a person.
