Office Furniture Melbourne

When it comes to style, the city of Melbourne has it in spades. Affectionately known as the fashion capital of Australia, Melbourne is a hub of effortless class and sophistication. From the apparel to the architecture, art and more, everything in Melbourne speaks of unique design and personality. The style that has been bred into this city over generations is also reflected in businesses and office spaces, too!

Whether it's commercial office furniture, or a home office, creating a productive workspace starts with designing an office space that is fit for functionality. The effect that clutter or poorly chosen furniture and features can have on the atmosphere of a room and even on people is astounding. Many cultures recognise the role that design has on the feel of a room, and certain ideologies such as Feng Shui have been created revolving completely around this idea! When considering designing your office furniture in Melbourne, minimalistic features & appealing office furniture paired with streamlined storage and organisation mean that the room will feel clean and open. The perfect atmosphere for a clean and open mind to produce the highest levels of productivity!

Besides the functionality considerations when you are thinking about furniture for office spaces in Melbourne, there are a few accented textures and touches you can incorporate which will really lift your space to the next level. Boring and bland office walls with standard desks and boxy computers are for the days of the past, as Melbourne office furniture is moving into reflecting the modern heartbeat of the city with its flair for style.

First, decide on your office furniture layout. This is the core foundation of your space and office environment which all other components will revolve around. Depending on the context that the office or offices are used for will determine whether you are utilising a lot of office chair and desks for a hub of workstations, or softer seating perhaps for an office furniture waiting area like a pair of armchairs matched with a coffee table, or even a clinical office setting which requires needs specific office chair arrays such as lab chairs.

Another consideration is the kind of office desks your staff needs to use. Standing is a popular option for office furniture these days, as it improves the stimulation and well-being of your employees, being able to adjust from sitting to standing as they feel necessary throughout the day. Occupational therapists are huge fans of the adjustable standing desks, and once you have one you would be able to see why. Your employees will enjoy the health benefits that this option provides for their posture as well. Or, your Melbourne office furniture layout may be a grand-scale floor with multiple workstations, requiring lots of office furniture. There are sleek and modern designs to choose from if you need to kit out an entire level with office furniture for a mass team of workers.

Once you have the layout plans for your office furniture in Melbourne sorted, you can start to think about the accents you would like to incorporate to really give your office the voice it needs - to express the culture of your business. Colour is a major decider in the feel of your interior space and office furniture can incorporate colour just as much as a painted wall. It's wise to usually stick to a colour scheme of three colours. There's a rule of thumb you can go by, which is 60-30-10, where 60% of the volume of the office space will be one colour, (for example white walls), another 30% will be a different colour or shade, like your black office chair or sofas, and the remaining 10% a final colour of grey accents in the cushions and artwork. Finally, pops of colour can be incorporated not just in artwork or soft finishings, but in material such as gold plated serving trays in a waiting area or wooden arms and legs on an armchair.

Speaking of materials, marble is really on trend, especially in a furniture office setting. Think about other small touches such as greenery and potplants, coasters or vases that can be added amongst the office furniture to lift the aesthetics of the room. Various materials incorporated into the decoration pieces in the Melbourne office space such as metals, wood finishes and textiles will break up the monotony of office furniture. We have a wide range of modern, stylish furniture that you can use in your Melbourne office to class-up your furniture office space that are well designed using modern textiles and colour palettes.

One of the greatest influences on the interior design world of Australia, and Australia's style capital, Melbourne, would almost certainly be mid-century modern design, (MCM) which really came into formation in the Post World War 2 era of the 1940's. Some of its' most recognisable features are uncluttered, clean and sleek lines, as well as juxtaposed materials and textures. There is a level of refinement and restraint demonstrated in MCM design that opens up to the concept of "less is more". We're familiar in Melbourne with a range of other styles of design like Scandinavian, or French Country, but the most enduring styles here are Mid-Century Modern and Art Deco.

The period of time which birthed MCM design is recognised as a period of innovation and growth post war, and certain materials such as plastic are introduced and incorporated into furniture in Melbourne and beyond. This made stylish and on trend pieces more affordable for consumers too. As the decades have rolled on and we have seen certain style trends appear and disappear through the 60's 70's and 80's, mid-century modern has been able to adapt and incorporate colour, texture and material from era's gone by and remain a relevant and distinguishable design trend.

Art Deco, in contrast, is a highly decorative style known for its lavish and exotic features, textures and colours, which really originated out of France prior to World War 1. Recognised by its heavily geometrical shapes, zig zags, loud and vibrant colours, exaggerated curves and stylised floral patterns, although this trend appeared and then disappeared as World War 2 began to sweep the world, there are still influential factors born from this design trend that have withstood time.

Melbourne is known for its' unique and creative flair, going beyond normalities and crossing daring barriers for the sake of individual expression, so it's understandable why Art Deco has survived alongside the rise of mid-century modern in this thriving city-hub of fashion and style. Today, Melbourne sees Art Deco most often incorporated into architecture through ceiling roses and fittings such as door handles.

With businesses and office furniture in Melbourne, style translates easily incorporating personality, expression, and visual description of the kind of business you are operating, and what the heart is for your business and clientele. The sleek, minimalistic features of MCM styling speak of a refined, cultured and elegant place of business, whereas features pulled from Art Deco styling with their flair of colour, over-pronounced curves and details and geometrical lines would boast a bold, expressive and unabashedly creative workplace that is daring and un-intimidated.

This a range of some interesting design concepts to think about when you are considering how to re-vamp your Melbourne office furniture, while still expressing your own business and voice.
