Comfort

First of all it is very important that everyone feels comfortable. There is a lot of work to be done and last thing one needs is to feel stress and anxiety. First of all you need comfortable chairs, followed with enough space to work. Sitting for at least eight hours is not easy, so it is essential that chair provides adequate support for your back, neck and arms. 

Another thing is to make sure you have enough access to natural light and that the temperature is appropriate. Also make sure that you create a healthy working atmosphere and assemble a team in which each individual can work with one another.

Colors

Experts think that colors have great impact on person’s mood. You don’t want everything to be black, but try to break it down with some red, yellow and white. Red is arousing, fiery and a bit aggressive, yellow is stimulating, bright and cozy, while white is open, neutral and sterile. 

Gray is associated with intellect and wisdom. Having this in mind try to combine it into something that you think would make the most suitable office design and yet have the best impact for your business.

Noise

It is extremely hard to find a quiet place for your work, but it is very important. Noise can be a big problem. Actually, it has been scientifically proven that noise has a great negative impact on employees. If you cannot find a quiet place, consider installing noise isolation, or, if you cannot afford that, the best solution can be noise-cancelling headphones. 
Another solution is efficient office partitions that could help in reducing office noise but still won’t completely kill creative open-office vibe.

A relaxation room is a great way to encourage your employees, show them that you care. It does not have to be anything special, just a simple room with comfortable armchairs and/or couches, and a place where you and your employees can take a break, relax, and chat. It raises positive atmosphere and helps regain focus to continue with the work.

There are many factors that affect every business, and there is no simple recipe to success. Each workspace has its own perks and cons, and all you can do is to make sure you have done everything that is in your power to improve and make it more productive.
