Despite the modern design aesthetic getting on in years, many businesses continue to find that its simplistic versatility makes it an ideal design scheme. The blend of minimalism meeting functionality provides a stark and clean look, and every piece of furniture can act as both a tool and a statement.

Dive into any contemporary workspace in the top echelons of websites and blogs dedicated to contemporary and modern office design, and you’ll likely find a common fixture: the standing desk. But why has this piece taken such a prime position in today’s cutting-edge interiors?

For those in the know, the standing desk is not just a platform for your computer—it also encapsulates modern design principles. The clean, futuristic design showcases both a certain aesthetic grace and an express, straightforward level of utility.

Standing desks offer clean lines and a sense of open space. When paired with the right interior theme, whether it’s industrial-chic or Scandinavian minimalism, they can act as a keystone part of the office design that shouts ‘modernity.’ Their rising popularity has led to an array of design choices, from sleek glass tops to desks with rich wooden finishes.

The standing desk isn’t just about looking good, it’s about providing versatility, comfort, and healthier living for employees. The health pitfalls of prolonged sitting have long been making headlines, from backaches to the development of blood clots.

This is where the principles of the standing desk merge. It encourages movement, eases stress on the back, and promotes better posture. It’s a design choice that promotes the well-being of your employees and lets them know that you take them into consideration when designing and purchasing furniture for your office.

Allowing employees to stand is just one aspect of the standing desk’s utility, as variable and adjustable height settings allow a variety of chairs and accessories to be used to enhance comfort. For those who choose to sit or kneel, footrests and alternative means of sitting, like medicine balls and squatting chairs, can be the perfect complement. Not only does it let workers shift their stance, alleviating pressure points, but it can also serve as another stylish addition to the office’s interior design.

If you’re in the market for new standing desks and seating solutions for your employees, one of the most comprehensive selections of modern office furniture here in L.A. is offered by SoCal local company Creative Office Design. Creative interviews each prospective client about the size, layout, and aesthetic preferences for their space and helps them choose a variety of new and used furniture to best match their needs.

As time wears on, novel items like adjustable height desks will no longer be a feature, but an expectation from employees. It’s best to get on this wave earlier rather than later, and the best selection in town is available only at Creative. Call today:

For those who are ready to return to the office, now is the perfect time to brush up on some good old productivity habits. 

There is no doubt that working from home is incredible. The flexibility, autonomy, and, most of all, privacy, is unparalleled by any other work setup. But you don’t have to give up these features in order to work at the office. In fact, the office offers a solution to one of the biggest downfalls of working from home—a lack of separation between work and life.

Perhaps remote work and social distancing have made us all a little more introverted. Introverts are misunderstood for being shy, reclusive, and even lonely, but there’s far more to the personality type than meets the eye. As a matter of fact, as introduced by Carl Jung, most of us are on a spectrum between introversion and extraversion, and not simply one or the other. Introversion isn’t solely a preference for solitude in and of itself. Rather, it’s the personality that is driven and focused based on one’s internal thoughts rather than external factors.

Depending on your personality, it may be easier or harder to focus when you’re alone. For some, it is easier to focus on solitude, as being alone means fewer distractions from other people, whether it be directly or indirectly. On the other hand, some may find it harder to be attentive on their own. Working alongside others in mere physical presence can have a profound psychological influence on one’s mindset at work. It’s why many freelancers, even with the freedom to work within the comforts of their own homes, will still opt for co-working spaces or coffee shops. Seeing other people in person who are also working hard at accomplishing their goals creates an environment where social pressure or camaraderie encourages you to also get to work and meet those deadlines!

Multitasking is a habit that is hard to break. In a world of instant communication powered by modern technology, it takes a surprising amount of discipline to not want to do the things that seem like work, like checking emails or work chats. The urge to multitask can be amplified at home, where working at the kitchen table makes it hard not to notice the dishes piled in the sink, and fulfilling the urge to do the dishes becomes the urge to clean the entire floor—all the while being in the middle of drafting that annual report.

Thankfully, the office is all about business. Cubicles provide structure and privacy so that you can monotask with your co-workers essentially right next to you. Creative Office Design offers a great selection of easy-to-assemble new or used cubicles.

Having an individually allocated space while still in the presence of your co-workers can supercharge productivity for those who struggle in complete isolation while also needing some degree of seclusion to concentrate. You can give Creative Office Design a call today to inquire about office furniture and design.
