Space Saving Ideas for Office Furniture In San Diego

Thursday, January 7th, 2010
Cube Configuration

Cube Configuration

As the author of this article about office furniture in San Diego points out, business real estate in California is expensive. The less space employers have to pay a monthly lease for, the better. However, there is a fine line between being efficient and packing workers in like sardines. When employees feel crowded and undervalued, their stress levels rise and morale plummets. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to reduce the overall square footage required without sacrificing individual comfort.

Properly configured cubicles can take up much less room than U shaped workspaces with a desk, bridge, and return. For example, an L shape has a more open feel while reducing the space taken up by furnishings. Scott Chapman at the American Chronicle points out that today’s compact, flat screen monitors can eliminate the need for employees to have 3 work surfaces. In addition, less storage space is required as companies move away from paper documentation.

Used Office Furniture – Vista Blogger’s Advice

Used Office Furniture Workstations

Used Office Furniture Workstations

Are you mulling the pros and cons of purchasing used office furniture? Vista Office has a recent post up on this topic. The writer makes a number of good points – especially about how useful secondhand furniture can be for startup businesses that can’t afford large capital expenditures. Of course, even larger companies can benefit from purchasing pre-owned furniture if they can find it in matching workstation sets.

One way to do this is by keeping an eye on auctions for companies that are going out of business and liquidating their assets in bulk. However, it’s much easier to partner with a local office furniture company that can readily locate used cubicles for you. A professional dealer will ensure that each piece is in good condition and do any touch ups necessary to make them ready for use.

Modular Office Furniture: San Diego Sectional Seating

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

7 Modular FurnitureNothing makes a reception or waiting area feel more comfortable than the right piece of modular office furniture. San Diego businesses that might choose this option include dental offices, medical clinics, and restaurants. Basically, anywhere family members might spend time waiting together.

This is also a nice option for large reception areas in any industry where you have room for several seating configurations. For example, you could place a sectional sofa along the L of one wall and group separate chairs around small tables. That way, people can choose the option they find most comfortable. This approach also allows you to match the size of your furnishings to the space available.

Don’t forget that you don’t have to stick with traditional office equipment when it comes to furnishing your reception area. Here’s a cozy piece that can double as modular office furniture: San Diego Hazelnut Sectional Sofa. This offering from True Contemporary is available with an accompanying coffee table that is perfect for displaying magazines in a waiting room.

Massage Office Chairs: San Diego Employees Need to Relax

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

3 Massage Office ChairAccording to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), workplace stress is a leading factor in poor worker health and loss of productivity. Maintaining a good work/life balance is one way to combat stress. Making the workplace more pleasant is another. What group of employees would say “no” to being supplied with 4 motor massage office chairs? San Diego masseuses can be hired to give employees workplace chair massages, but that’s a one-time event (and the costs can add up quickly).

When you purchase office chairs with vibrating massage features included, workers can enjoy this equipment every day. Worried that your employees might get too relaxed if they have one of these machines at their workstation? Consider putting a couple in the employee lounge for use during breaks. A 10-15 minute session in the lap of luxury is sure to put a worker in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Office Furniture – San Diego Area Refinishing

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

1 Painted File CabinetYou have several options when it comes to buying used office furniture. San Diego area vendors often sell these items refurbished in like-new condition. Each piece is stripped and professionally refinished. You can also buy furnishings that are used and not restored (although they may be lightly retouched). If you buy from a reputable vendor, these are usually only gently worn and still in decent condition.

In contrast, when you purchase office furniture at an auction or liquidation sale, it may have an unacceptable degree of visible wear and damage. In addition, if you are buying one or two pieces at a time due to budget restraints, they may not all match.

Paint that is chipped is another common problem with this type of office furniture. San Diego retouching companies like Linden Painting offer a unique service that can address these problems to some extent. They perform onsite electrostatic painting on solid metal items such as file cabinets. Static electricity is generated to attract the paint to the surface being finished. Reduced overspray makes this process quick and clean compared to traditional spray painting.

San Diego: Office Furniture Highlighted at Interior Design Expo

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Fit ChairIn August, the SoCal chapter of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) hosted an exciting mini-trade show in San Diego. Office furniture manufacturers including Herman Miller, Knoll, and Steelcase supported the IIDA in showcasing the newest and brightest ideas in commercial interior design.

The event was called NeoCan’t – a play on the name of the famous NeoCon expo in Chicago. The IIDA created this event for those who couldn’t make the trek to Illinois. They selected the San Diego Wine & Culinary Center as the venue. No doubt good food and fine wine helped make this “consolation” trade show a success!

Over 200 attendees were present including designers, educators, and those just learning the art of interior design. Kimball Office was one of the manufacturers presenting new products at the expo. Their innovative Fit chair certainly gives off a laid back San Diego office furniture vibe. A reception area furnished with this vibrant, fashion forward seating would certainly make a lasting first impression.
