One thing is for sure when you are setting out to decorate your new office space and that is that will you want it to look good and you will also want it to last.
Another thing that you want when furnishing your office is for it to be functional and conducive to what ever type of work it is your office does.
Remember to set up a coffee station of some type and stock it with both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, so everyone isn't running around with their eyes bulging out, because they are wired out of their gourds.
A small refrigerator with a microwave oven makes for a great snack station and it means that you can eat in if you have to get some pressing task completed.
If clients are going to be visiting your office you will want to have a nice area where they can relax before you deal with them and you might consider having some reading material like travel magazines to let them take a little mental vacation with before you deal with them.
It is important to remember that when your clients sit back on a nice comfortable sofa and are occupied and entertained properly that you are going to benefit in the long run by not having to deal with stress cases.
Another stress reducer is to have nice big framed prints of peaceful settings, such as fishing boats in a harbor or rural scenes up on your walls.
You can break up an office with room dividers and this will help you and your personnel to work undistracted.
Room dividers are very cheap and easy to have installed.
One recent trend in office furniture is home style furnishings which can lend a more relaxed and home style air to your office or work area.
