Happiness is good health and a pretty office - Construction & Industry - ArabianBusiness.com

Okay.  I'll admit it.  I have judged an office by its cover, or interior decor rather.  I can't stress the importance enough of having a pleasing office decor.  I found a really nice doctor in a great are for my newborn son, Oliver.  I went in and met him and was immediately put off by the waiting room.  It wasn't dirty or unpleasant, but it was large with little furniture, misplaced display, and all white walls.  It felt stark and cold.  It didn't reflect the doctors personality or business at all.  I thought maybe I was being so critical because I'm a designer, but there is a psychology to design.  Interior Design does make you feel a certain way.  Office design can influence your consumers choices, how consumers view your business, and whether or not they will be coming back.  Why take that chance?  A designer can always come in and give you a consultation on inexpensive ways to spruce it up!  If you are a DIY person, then research some offices in your industry to gather ideas and tackle the painting yourself.



Another reason to change your office decor is it affects your employees motivation!  90% of office workers regard the design and layout of their office as affecting their level of motivation. Despite this, approximately 50% said that they had never had any sort of workspace assessment from their employer.
