It’s Wellness Wednesday! If you’re looking to improve your work environment, adding a plant or two might not be the first idea that comes to mind. After all, what will a bit of greenery really do to enhance your workspace? As it turns out, plants in the office can do a lot. According to a number of recent studies, introducing plants into offices and workspaces can be hugely beneficial in a variety of ways. Enhanced Appearance...We’ll start with the most obvious way plants ...can improve your office space: by enhancing its appearance. Healthy office plants can make a work environment look healthier and more vibrant. Increased Productivity...Believe it or not, adding plants to an office space has been shown to increase employee productivity. Plants can help people to concentrate, which in turn helps to reduce mistakes and increase efficiency. Cleaner Air...Adding plants to a workspace can help to improve an office’s air quality. They can help to remove manmade toxins from the air, and can also reduce the amount of dust, mold and bacteria that employees are breathing in. Reduced Sickness...Employees who work in offices where plants are present tend to use fewer sick days than those who work in plant-free environments. By helping to keep the air cleaner and reducing factors like stress and anxiety which can lead to physical ailments, office plants contribute to keeping teams healthier. Reduced Stress...Spending time outdoors is one of the best ways to unwind and destress but as busy employees, many of us don’t have as much time as we’d like to spend outside. Plants bring some of nature’s soothing beauty inside, to where you spend most of your time getting things done. In turn, they can help to reduce stress and the factors that cause it, like workplace tension, anxiety, hostility and fatigue. Increased Creativity...Plants have been shown to enhance creativity. Flowers and other types of greenery in the office can help to inspire innovative thinking and out-of-the-box problem solving. Which Plants Do Best in Office Environments?

To some folks the home office is an important space, especially now more than ever. Whether it is doing office work, paying bills or doing homework, the home office must be equipped with versatile furniture. In many job positions today, office work is almost guaranteed to be brought home. Furthermore, there are many job positions today that are designed for the employee to only work from home. While designing your home office, it is important to consider your children. To mak...e this space kid friendly, try having your desk equipped with a monitor arm. This will make it easily adjustable for adults and children. Also, try incorporating built ins to your workspace. This not only gives the feeling of a larger space but gives you lots of storage. FUNTIP: If built ins are not an option, try colour laterals! The home office is an important space in the home. Let us help you update or design the office of your dreams!

Transformation Wednesday!Nella Casa Bella, a well established home stager who has expanded their services into commercial decorating and designing contracted us to design and furnish one of their clients businesses. The client leaned heavily on us for our experience and to come up with a design that would fit her and her clients style. For this project we were going for a mid century modern look, choosing a colour pallet with black, blue and cognac. Together we collaborate...d and came up with a design and colour pallet that worked well and was very pleasing to the eye. We also helped the client choose a carpet colour and style to fit the space. With the help of our 3-D Renderings we were able to show our client their space and win the job. Swipe through to see the transformation.
