Many people who have set up their offices at home now probably know how convenient modular furnishings can be. This is a welcome thing since office settings are in a constant need of catching up.

Just a little trivia here –

  • Did you know that workstations are actually vacant 60-percent of the time?
  • That private offices are unoccupied at about 77-percent of the time?
  • And conference room seating isn’t always used to its full capacity?

These are true partially because of the organizational shift from the traditional office structures to the more collaborative systems. Also, the technological advances are constantly changing the conventional office platforms.

Offices that rely on technology show rapid growth compared due to employee mobility. The use of laptops and tablets instead of the bulky desktop computers generates more space. Employees are now on the move though they collaborate more often.

These are the collective beauty brought about by technology combined with the modular office furnishing.

Modular Design: Why it’s Great for Your Business

Modular, also known as architectural movable systems, are your alternative to conventional office drywall and steel stud. Being structurally mobile isn’t the only benefit to setting up your modular home office, though, here are some more reasons to switch to this kind of office design –

Improved Productivity. Studies have proven that productivity improves where the collaboration centers are set up in various sizes and styles. These non-traditional work spaces are able to maximize technology and human interactions.

Space Optimization. Why allow bulky office furniture occupy a huge portion of your office floor space? It’s time to maximize the living space by adding modular office furniture instead. Keep in mind that square footage is a concern for many offices but it doesn’t have to be yours.

Needs and Functions Met. Through modular systems, you can be able to build units based on the functions that you need for them and also on the user’s needs. If you have employees, then they have also have a say on workspace aesthetics.

Savings. The modular home office systems are cost-efficient. These aren’t just moveable materials, they are also lightweight and easy to set up. You don’t have to construct workstations made of steel and drywall anymore.

Modular systems can also be set up in just a matter of hours – or days for some units. Yet, compared to the usual construction time table, this is already a huge advantage.

Minimal Disruption. Of course, your home office is still a place of business so you would need the least amount of time to set up your workspace.

Modular elements are also easily reconfigurable in order to accommodate your growing needs. If, in the future, you will need more furnishings for your growing team, then all you have to do is to buy additional pieces for your modular system and you’re good to go. The same is also true when you need to cut down on the number of people in your home-based business.

Green. Setting up a modular home office is also environment-friendly. For example, the wall systems use less initial materials. This is already a huge savings in terms of energy and the use of materials. Renovation or set up of your modular home office is also dust-free so you won’t have to close down your office just to integrate this new part of your home.

Flexibility. The modular home office systems can also be easily switched to welcome the addition of technology or aesthetic designs in the future. This is, after all, a system that can be easily reconfigured. You can even use some parts of the system for plugs, plumbing and the integration of technology.
