The physical workspace is one of the most important aspects and has a huge influence in creating good works. Here are some ideas of offices from big companies, but they might not work for everyone. There are field differences, and more important, people working in certain spaces are different, and they have various preferences.

You can learn something from the workspaces presented here, and you can adapt the one you work currently in, or get some ideas for a new one.


Given the chart you can see above, we observe that the factor with the biggest influence on workers' productivity is "being happy at work". This can be easily created by a good human resources management, and a comfortable workspace. It is well known that happy people are more creative, are more optimistic and more motivated, and learn faster and make better decisions.

I think it's human impossible to work between gray furniture and serious cubicles, and come up with creative ideas such as they guys from Pixar bring on our screens. It's a comfortable space, which supports and exhibits employees creativity, very important skill in Pixar's activity domain.





Redbull's offices in London have a very futuristic design and they inspire a lot of energy and motivate the employees through a relaxing and funny workplace.






I think that Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs in Copenhagen, Denmark has some special offices, which are worth to be mentioned and showed here. Their offices are not at all boring, and even the given activity domain, government, I wouldn't say any second that they are not serious, but they combine work with pleasure, and this is a great combination.







The coolest idea of "meeting room" is the conference bike, which is designed for 7 people who pedal along, and it changes dramatically the way meetings were until now. It suggests a more relaxing environment for work, it contributes to bikers' health and it also makes working funnier.


When thinking about industry and assembly plants you have in your mind the image of an ugly and disrty plant, you are very wrong. Take a look at this Volkswagen Phaeton plant in Germany, Dresden, and observe that is simply beautiful.It looks very clean and it stimulates creativity for sure!


These were just some images from some companies' offices. Now it's time to think about your home office. Here are some images of items which could improve the look of your office, and bring a fresh breeze in the place you spend time to make money. In the first image you can see a strange chair, but it is a quite interesting piece of art. It really is the special chair you needed for those moments when you are thinking about the new strategy you should implement on Asian market.


I just love this Bibliochaise and I think it is the coolest way possible to store the books and relax in the same time. It has more storage spaces on it, and producers say that in/on it can fit almost 5 meters of books. Of course you need a very comfortable chair in your office, because that is the most important place in your workspace. You stay there most of the time spent working, and it must offer you a relaxing experience each time you get there.


Colors are also very important when thinking about the design of your office. Choosing the right colorc can make your office a better place, but take care how you pick up the colors for the office and the elements in it. If you know that you can easily be distracted, surround yourself with relaxing and calming colors. If motivation is the problem, then bring in your office bright colors, which provide more energy and will raise the motivation.

Blues and greens are passive colors in nature and they belong to backgrounds. They don't disturb, and they are the perfect choice for a home office. These colors calm the nerves and lift the spirits and in psychology they are associated to meditation. Green means restful, rejuvenation and I personally think that this color is the best for places where creativity should be stimulated. It is often chosen for study areas and classrooms. This color stimulates the thought process and it promotes the balance and harmony feelings.

You can use warm colors to make a workspace look more intimate and cosy. These colors are invigorating and they are great for creative spaces. Warm colors are also used to keep the mind awake and sometimes they might be distracting, though they are very stimulating.

















White represents purity and peace, and it can be used to give an open, spacious look to smaller work areas. It can be used muted, soft or tinted, it is perfect for offices. When used in large quantities, it can strain the eyes in a brightly lit environment. On the other hand, you can use it for trim, to create a clean look.

The most important thing is to evaluate your reactions to various colors, because the response varies from person to person, and think about the fact that the home office is your space and the way you want it, that's how it should be!
