When it comes to office trends, they have been evolving for some time. As of 2022, there are new trends that are fantastic for office spaces. If you need some inspiration to renovate your New York Office space, here are some office trends of 2022 to gain inspiration from:

Walls with Designs

Before 2022, bland office walls were a thing. They were boring and dull and truly did not inspire anything. Now modern offices have walls that have different colors or images, that are about the companies features or values.

Living walls can also be installed. They are great for offices that perhaps don’t have a nature area outside.

Natural Lighting

The use of natural lighting can be a smart decision. It can reduce the use of energy, and allow for indoor plant growth. 

Although, some offices do not have access to windows or light from the outside. In these cases, choosing a diffused, natural artificial light can be great for the indoors.

Lounge Spaces

When we think of lounge designs, we may imagine simple areas that include maybe a microwave or fridge. But more and more modern offices are including more interesting things to add to their lounge areas.

Ping-pong, air hockey, or foosball tables are fun add-ons for your workers. You can give them a break from a stressful workday, give your employees time to socialize and provide them with eye rest from staring at a screen the whole day.

Other modern lounge area additions are quiet spaces or even nap rooms. This will give your employees much-needed rest, especially those who work extra hard on assignments.

  1. Bringing the Outdoors In. Now this is probably the last thing you’d want to do with a New York winter season, but hear me out! Referred to as “biophilic design” bring nature into your home has been on the rise since the start of the pandemic and is at it’s best level right now in 2022. I think we can all agree that being shut inside for years on end, thanks to quarantine, increased our appreciation for the outdoors. Between having large windows for more natural light, or addin
    g in more plants for those with a green thumb, nature filled homes is what 2022 has been calling for.
  2. Luxe Outdoor Living. While bringing the outdoors in is a huge trend, bringing the indoors out has also been a huge trend this year. Enjoy the comfort of your backyard with outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, or even decked out decks. Enjoying some fresh air and nature outside of your home should never feel like a task or even gross. Even setting up an umbrella with a nice dining table and chairs is only of the most highly valued home trends for the outdoors in 2022.
  3. Multipurpose Living. Ever since we were forced to keep inside because of the pandemic, it is without a doubt that we need multipurpose living spaces. Our kitchens went from being just kitchens, to being our work space and school. The need for flexibility in our homes have stayed. To keep up with the trends, a great way to exercise this is by having an extra room. That room can be turned into a gym, office space, game room for the kids. You never know!
  4. Sustainability. Green is has overwhelmingly become the color of 2022. Not only do people want to have green in their house, but they want to feel green too. People have become more conscious of their environmental footprint and there has been an increase in need for more sustainable and energy efficient technology. Some ways you can turn your home green, is through solar panel installations, smart thermostats, and energy efficient windows.
  5. Maximalism. While minimalism while never go out of style, maximalism has been on the rise this year! Surround yourself with the things you love, even if they aren’t necessary. Knick knacks, comfy furnishing, extra decor! Not to mention this totally compliments the rise of the 70’s color scheme that’s been going on lately. It’s time to mix textures, patterns, materials and colors. Go all out!

A nook for quiet contemplation or relaxing

This is a great option if you have an attic space or a small room available. The space allows you to have some valuable me time in a cozy comfortable setting. You could curl up with a book, have some quiet tome to clear your head or unwind with loved ones. In this space it is best to keep furniture and technology to a minimum. Focus on minimal decorations and cushy & comfortable seating.

A bedroom for the children and then a future guest room

Do you have kids that are demanding their own space? Well if you turn the space into a bedroom for the childrne then when they grow up ot can be conveniently turned into a guest room. You would just have to move their belongings and rearrange the beds and add some storage.

A media room

The spare room could be turned into a media room that allows your family to spend time together afte a long day. They can enjoy watching movies, tv or play games together. For an added bonus add a fire place for extra comfort.

A reading room

If getting lost in a new book is what you need in your life then this might be the solution for you. You can add some really comfy seating like an armchair or recliner and then surround your self with your beloved books. Make sure you arrange for ideal surface & wall lighting as well as overhead lighting to allow for the comfort of reading any time of the day or night.

Home Gym

A functional and well equipped gym is a great way to utilize your extra space. It will allow you to not only save on a gym membership but will also make it easier for you to work out.

A Home Office

If you work from home, or always bring your work home this is a great use of the space. Make sure you furnish it properly with sufficient cabinets, comfortable work station, and a supportive chair.

Creating a Home Office

Posted by Blog on with 0 Comment

Do you have an empty room and not sure what to do with it? Turning into an office maybe? An office is essential if you are running a small business, or just need a quiet place to work in the comfort of your own home. With the closet space of your extra bedroom, you also have a place for storing office supplies.

Be sure that you are designing your office the way you need it to function, and how it will benefit you the most. If your goal is to have a simple room to be able to concentrate on work, go for a minimalist design with clean lines, white walls, and simple furniture.

If you know you’ll be spending long hours in your new office away from your office, make the best of it – and make it comfortable to be there. You can add a cozy chair, muted colors, and a big enough desk that allows you to stretch out. This way, you won’t even feel like you’re working.

If you are working in a creative field, a home office that fits your style will make you enjoy working because you’ll be inspired by your surroundings. As opposed to a simple room, add some large wall art, bold colors, loud furniture and speakers for music so you can get those creative juices flowing!

Whatever you choose to use your newly acquired extra room for, be sure to use proper lighting, shelving, desks and chairs. If you need help with creating your next room, call us at 212-837-8117 and we won’t disappoint!
