Furniture Selection

Choose the right furniture for your space and budget.

Furniture selection

Even when you know which space you are furnishing, and what type of furniture you need, there are thousands of office furniture products available. In fact, the choice can be overwhelming. That’s where our experienced, knowledgeable team can help. They will guide you through the many choices and narrow the field based upon usage, design and budget.

Important questions to ask

Office furniture and design plays a bigger role in employee engagement than many people think. Your team need comfortable, ergonomic furniture in your workspace to be productive, and to encourage them back to the office. Selecting the right items will make a huge difference in their satisfaction levels and long-term health.

To help with the selection process there are some important questions to ask:



Do they prefer sitting or standing at their desks?



Are there separate offices for each employee or group of employees?



How many desks and chairs will you need in each office?



Do you need reception seating, conference tables, breakout room furniture, and more?



What about task lighting and storage options?

The furniture you choose is your chance to make a great first impression on clients and prospective employees. Plus, try not to compromise on quality if you can. Furniture is a long-term investment – having to keep replacing cheaper items will cost more in the long run.

Our furniture selection service

We will visit your premises to see the space and talk to employees and get a feel for your objectives and the space you have. This enables us to confidently narrow the choice of suppliers and products and make recommendations based on your Brief. In addition, we scrutinise our supplier’s sustainability credentials, so when making product suggestions can marry these to your own sustainability goals.

With our consultative approach you’ll benefit from our knowledge and experience, gained across many sectors. Instead of scrolling through pages of furniture online, you can save time and be confident that the products you are selecting are fit for purpose.

During the selection process we consider many factors, including:



Your budget



Furniture comfort levels



Furniture appearance and design



Your ideal office layout



The size of the furniture



Your sustainability objectives



Your brand identity

A successful workspace is one that is good for people’s mental health and general wellbeing. Being able to communicate face to face is becoming more desirable, so the trend in office design is to create more fun, flexible and inspiring workspaces.

This means that instead of focusing on how many desks you can squeeze into a space, many businesses would rather boost creativity and collaboration. We take all this into account when space planning and advising on furniture selection.
